A reference such as "NB3, 69; TS, 245" implies that the notebook detail equally constitutes part of the later recension. I use square brackets for editorial comments and later textual developments. Minor retouches are ignored, and evolutionary deadends, often extensive, are mentioned only briefly with reference to their legacy. My "level 4" is the [missing] final typescript, a hypothetical construct from the late drafts before it and the "level 5" galley proofs set from it. As this is my implied point of reference (the "avant-texte"), I pay considerable attention to it. My four other "levels" are the published texts. The evolutionary pattern has largely settled, but differences complicate any so-called "text" of Watt; for the Olympia ("level 6"), Grove ("level 7"), and Calder ("level 8") versions each make significant changes, with new
