Quotes from this book
But who is to determine exactly which words are spelt according to the poet's own instructions, and which according to the printer's whim?
Prof. Masson makes a great point of the fact that Milton's own spelling, exhibited in the autograph manuscript of some of the minor poems preserved in Trinity College, Cambridge, does not correspond with that of the printed copy.
