LINGARD LOMAX LETTERS
-
iii) Apostrophes have been inserted in o clock, O Connell and
other Irish names in O, where Lingard always omitted them, and when necessary in the genitive . iv) Minor differences in the addresses , e.g. Mrs T. Lomax and Mrs. Thos . Lomax , have been ignored. v) Accents have been regularised, except, on nicknames like Mademoiselle la Jesuite and 'Pere Giraffe where the omission is habitual and presumably deliberate. vi) Obvious slips of the pen, e.g. hare shirt , have been corrected. vii) Paragraph divisions have been inserted where, as often, Lingard saved space by indicating them with a long dash. viii) For abbreviations see pp . 165-7; for notes , pp. 168-215.
