EDITORIAL EMENDATIONS

This list records all the emendations in the present edition to the copy-text, the first edition of Acadia in the second issue (see Introduction, n.59, above) of Howe’s Poems and Essays (Montreal: John Lovell, 1874).  In this list “H” stands for the Harvard II manuscript and “Ed” signifies an emendation made by the editor to correct errors in the copy-text.  In each entry the reading of the present text is given before the “]” and the reading of the copy-text after the “]”, followed by the source of the present reading in parentheses.  Thus, “20 Euphrates’] Euphrates (H)” indicates that in line 20 of the present text an apostrophe has been added to “Euphrates” where there is none in the first edition, and that this emendation has been made on the basis of the Harvard II manuscript.
