Excerpt from The Troubles of Our Catholic Forefathers Related by ThemselvesBut the difficulty at once arises, How then are the proper names to be spelled? In editing Father Gerard's N of Me Gunpowder Plot, I tried to follow the spelling that most prevailed in the manuscript before me. I regret it now, for I got thus drawn into such spellings as Knokes for Knox and Falks for Famées.I have had to choose in many cases between the old and the modern form of a name, and wishing to be easily understood I have chosen the modern. I have regarded as antiquated such methods of spelling as Cullen, Loven, Rhemes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
