Excerpt from Paston Letters, Vol. 1 of 2: Original Letters, Written During the Reign of Henry Vi;, Edward IV., And Richard III

The thought of transcribing [or rather translating] each letter, according to the rules of modern orthography and punctuation, arose from a hint which the editor received from an antiquary, respectable for his knowledge and publications; whose opinion was, that many would be induced to read these letters, for the sake of the various matter they contain, for their style, and for their curiosity, who, not having paid attention to ancient modes of writing and abbreviations, would be deterred from attempting such a task, by their uncouth appearance in their original garb.
