I hope that the Stuart Press edition of Elinor
Fettiplace is better documented that the Viking
Penguin/Hilary Spurling edition as at least
a quarter of the Spurling edition is not from
the same hand or time period as the original
and Hilary Spurling doesn't delineate which is
which.  This makes the Hilary Spurling edition
of Elinor Fettiplace a problematic resource.
