John Morris Troubles of Our Catholic Forefathers Related by Themselves

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But 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 Famees. 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.
