The second volume of the Complete Prose Works may be taken as a consolidation of the aims and methods of this eight-volume edition being produced by Professor Don M. Wolfe and his associates. The editors seek to provide: (1) texts with fuller bibliographical and textual apparatus than the Columbia edition has and in some cases (e.g., The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce) to distinguish the text of a first edition from the extensive enlargements of a second; (2) elaborate introductions which deal amply and minutely with Milton's diverse subjects and his ideas, evolution, historical background, etc.; (3) full annotation on all topics, allusions, etc., so that, as far as it is possible, readers of varying degrees of sophistication have immediately available the material needed for either intelligent comprehension or for scholarly study.

Research projects that require extensive reading of microfilms can be frustrating and exhausting, as most Renaissance scholars well know. Some scholars already know, but many do not, that an ordinary color-slide projector can easily be converted into a machine for reading microfilms at home. All that is required is the construction of a simple film-holder or frame, through which microfilm may be continuously threaded, to replace the color-slide-holder of the ordinary home projector.
The design of the frame for holding the film must be modified to fit the particular brand of projector used, but the general principles of that design would seem to be constant: a flat sleeve of some stiff material like heavy cardboard, into which have been cut ‘windows’ approximately the size of a 35 mm.
