2 The extraordinary claims to originality, and the animadversions on English scholars, put into Mr Hughes's mouth in the Chicago Sunday Tribune of 12 June 1964, should no doubt be blamed on the interviewing journalist rather than the interviewed professor.

3 Sign manual warrants issued under the signet.

4 For ‘misusing of apparel statute; labourers for all unlawful games’, read ‘misusing of apparel; statute [of] labourers; for all unlawful games’. If the text of this document is taken from the source stated, the beginning of it is mistranscribed.

5 E.g. no. 75, there is no evidence that the passage cited from the Ellesmere MSS. had anything to do with this proclamation; no. 60, the date is derived from a mention in Holinshed but this refers to no. 59 (in which treason and murder are excepted from the general pardon, while in 60 they are included); no. 376, the reference to A.P.C., either by page or by date (the two do not coincide), yields nothing to the purpose.

6 The index entry ‘purveyors’ mixes up the technical problem of royal purveyance and the general meaning of the word (= purchaser). Altogether, the subject index contains some idiosyncrasies.
