<!--ebb:Note to Digital Mitford Editors: In this typescript, we've noticed the frequent use of the characters XX or X, and my working hypothesis is that these characters indicate points in Mitford's diary that were illegible to the transcriber. However, they also seem to be used in conjunction with titles of books Mitford mentions reading. There is probably some system to this that isn't apparent in the typescript itself. To verify this, we need to consult the original manuscript notebook.-->
<!-- LMW: The x's are Mitford's. They are in the ms. several possibilities. later additions, to point out books or other refs she wants to remember or re copy elsewhere? x's in letters sometimes refer to added material at bottom of page, like a footnote, but that doesn't seem to be the function here.

<editorialDecl>
<p>Mitford’s spelling and punctuation are retained, except where a word is split at the
end of a line and the beginning of the next in the manuscript. Where Mitford’s
spelling and hyphenation of words deviates from the standard, in order to facilitate
searching we are using the TEI elements choice, sic, and reg to encode both Mitford’s
spelling and the regular international standard of Oxford English spelling, following
the first listed spelling in the Oxford English Dictionary. The long s and ligatured
forms are not encoded.</p>
<p>In this journal, after 1819 (when she no longer has print indications of the date
from the published journal), Mitford usually indicates the month and year at the top
of her pages. Mitford began adding the location where she wrote her entries around
October 1820 to the top of each page near the date. When she had no room towrite the
place name after the date, e.g. <q>Three Mile Cross</q>, she the split the place name
so part of it appears before the date, and part after the date, for example: <q>Three
Mile October 1820 Cross</q>. We have decided to represent these form headings in
meaningful order, so as to clearly distinguish the place from the date. Because they
were added afterwards, we chose to position these place names after the date
information.</p>
