Excerpt from The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer
Our refusal to reduce the spelling of the manuscripts to a dead level of philological correctness - were this attainable - has compelled us to use an unobtrusive dot to indicate when the letter e is to be fully sounded. This is the less to be regretted as Chaucer's usage in this respect is not quite so rigidly uniform as it is sometimes represented, and few readers will be inclined to grumble at this help which we have endeavoured to offer as modestly as possible.
