Notes to this e-publication

Note 1. During the long history of publication of Sri Aurobindo's works, their texts were modified by editors here and there, so now we have several variants of the same text when one is — more likely — authentic, but the others — not quite. Still, while we are not sure, which variant is authentic, we, at least, have to be aware about the fact of such variations. For this purpose we compared texts of different editions and provided differing places with appropriate footnotes in our files. (Moreover, this symbol by symbol comparison allows to avoid misprints of scanning and OCR procedures.)

To avoid overloading of the texts by footnotes, we ignored differences of register, punctuation, paragraphs, too frequent or permanent differences, variants of languages or transliterations of the same word (for example, in one edition the word printed in Latin, in another – in Devanagari), sometimes — variants of proper names. Also we did not made any footnotes in cases of distinct misprints of typographers – just corrected them (i.e. letter O and symbol zero 0 and so on).

Note 2. In cases, when independent texts were joined at book in a single block with common title as if it were one work, we separated them — one independent text per one file. To reader, who find this arrangement not quite convenient, we may recommend the all book in a single file (see above).
