Editor: James Gairdner

Transcriber's note:

The Gairdner edition of the Paston Letters was printed in six volumes. Each volume is a separate e-text; Volume VI is further divided into two e-texts, Letters and Index. Volume I, the General Introduction, will be released after all other volumes, matching the original publication order.

Except for footnotes and sidenotes, all brackets are in the original, as are parenthetical question marks and notations. Series of dots representing damaged text are shown as in the printed original.

The year was shown in a sidenote at the top of each page; this has been merged with the sidenote at the beginning of each Letter or Abstract.

Footnotes have their original numbering, with added page number to make them usable with the full Index. They are grouped at the end of each Letter or Abstract.

Specifics: The spelling "Jhon" is not an error. Gresham and Tresham are different people. Conversely, the inconsistent spelling "Lipyate" or "Lipgate" in footnotes is unchanged.

Note that the printed book used z to represent original yogh ?. This has not been changed for the e-text.

This edition, published by arrangement with Messrs. ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE AND COMPANY, LIMITED, is strictly limited to 650 copies for Great Britain and America, of which only 600 sets are for sale, and are numbered 1 to 600.
