"ſ"
editI am newish to this platform, and trying to learn as I go. As a modern reader, I find the "ſ" (Long s) to be distracting. My current solution is simply to type it as "s".
The pattern is that Collier uses "ſ" for lower-case "S" except at the end of a word, and except where it's immediately before "f", as in "misfortune". For the end of words and before "f", he uses "s". Because it is predictable in this way, I do not feel that its use adds anything to Collier's expression.
Archaic spellings
editFor archaic spellings, such as "chear" for "cheer" or "Stoick" for "Stoic", I retain Collier's original.
Use of SIC template
editI only encountered this template at the very end of working through this project (on the final advertisement page), and so have not applied it anywhere else. I am also uncertain about the optimal use of this template.
