Catchwords

Leave out the extra word at the bottom of the page in eb03

Printers in the eighteenth-century used to add a word under the right-hand side of the last line on a book page that repeats the first word on the following page. This is called a "catchword." We do not want to include this catchword in our digital edition, because it would mean it appears twice. When drawing boxes, do not include the catchword at the bottom of the page.

Figure 1. eb03 catchword at the bottom of the page.
