Textual Notes

¹ Though the “The data” passage (FW: 57.16-61.28 [JJA: 45.138]) is first-drafted first, Joyce must have decided almost at once to precede it with the “cloud of witnesses” passage (FW: 48-50.32 [JJA 45: 137]), to which he then adds the “well-authenticated fact” passage (FW: 50.35-56.19 [JJA 45: 140, 142-3]) as a long overlay addition to level 1. At level 2 Joyce brings “Under rather a cloud . . .” to the margin, as he usually did when copying (or having typed) a new unit of the book (as do also the typescript at levels 3 and 5 and the fair copy at level 4). At this point, then, I think he intended chapter 3 to begin where in fact it does.

² I am quite sure that Joyce intended “Tropples” rather than “Troppler” at level 9: see the different slant to the final stroke from that of “Galloper”. And note that the typist at level 9T wrongly underlines “and”, suggesting a single piece combining Gulliver's Travels and the character Harlequin.

³ The “and” which follows the “s” index after “maggies” in the first overlay level is not typed at level 9T after the insertion ending with “Hurleyquinn” as it should have been, although it was typed and then exed out after “maggies” when the typist noticed the insertion which the “s” indexes, which begins “, Hilton . . .”

⁴ In his overlay draft on level 9, Joyce begins his parenthetical clause, “he began . . . Animandovites”, with an open parenthesis but ends it with a semicolon, a simple inadvertence. The correction, by change of the semicolon to a close parenthesis at the end, is a rare instance of something we can be quite sure was correction on the page proof.
