Excerpt from The Maitland Quarto Manuscript: Containing Poems by Sir Richard Maitland, Arbuthnot, and Others In this edition, in which the full contents of the manu script are printed for the first time, the original has been followed page for page, and the different styles of hand writing have been indicated by the use of different types. Those pieces which are written in the Scottish hand are printed in ordinary roman type, with the contractions expanded in italics; those in the Italian hand are closely reproduced in italic lettering, with the few contractions retained. An endeavour has also been made to reproduce the more ornamental hands, the capital letters, and scribal flourishes, and in general to convey as distinct an idea of the appearance of the original as could readily be done in print. With a very few exceptions the occasional errors of the scribe have not been corrected in the text, but are pointed out in the notes at the end of the volume.
