7 The kingdoms of Boxen although united in Parliament retain their monarchs, the Rajah of India & the King of Animaland.
8 ‘Little Master’, was the speaker of the Parliament, and had many powers, including that of being the constant guardian & adviser of the kings. The present one, Lord Big, exercised much influence over King Benjamin & the Rajah, as he had been their tutor in their youth: in private he neglected all the usual formulate of adress to a prince: To wit next line ‘Boys … etc’.

17 The reader will notice that KR, TS, GG, MH, NH, and CHM, by their substantial agreement with one another, establish themselves as first class texts, and at the same time degrade OH and LH to the level of ‘bad’ texts.
18 In references to MET the numeral refers to the ‘Number’ of the paper, not to the page. Careless duplications of number in the original have forced me to number the loose METs thus; – 7, 7A, 8, 9, 9A.
