acter have been omitted, especially from names printed in 
bold-faced letters. With these exceptions, the intention 
has been to follow carefully the typography of the title- 
pages. Even the v used generally for our more modern u, 
and the u occasionally used for our v, have been carefully 
preserved. Contrary to a somewhat prevalent impression, 
the v is not invariably found in lines of capital let- 
ters, in the older books, nor the u always in lower- 
case lines. The difference between the u and the vy, 
as we know them, has been allowed to affect the alphabet- 
izing of entries, though not to the extent of causing the 
separation of entries of different editions of the same 
work, or the disturbance of their chronological sequence.
