 NOTE


It has been necessary to distinguish author and editor in different ways in
different parts of this book, since the incidence of commentary is very
various. The author appears in larger type in the primary texts throughout; if
the editor intrudes into one of these texts he is in smaller type intended from
the margin (e.g. p. 307) In The History of Galadriel and Celeborn, however,
where editorial text is predominant, the reverse indentation is employed. In
the Appendixes (and also in The Further Course of the Narrative of 'Aldarion
and Erendis', pp. 215 ff.) both author and editor are in the smaller type, with
citations from the author indented (e.g. p. 161).
Notes to texts in the Appendixes are given as footnotes rather than as
numbered references; and the author's own annotation of a text at a particular
point is indicated throughout by the words '[Author's Note]'.
