While it is possible, he acknowledges, to construe the provision as Scalia does, "that construction seems untrue to the open-ended quality of the language." (16) Indeed, as a textual matter, construing "cruel and unusual punishments" as strictly as Scalia does is a little like construing the right to keep and bear arms as limited to such eighteenth-century firearms as muskets.

Of notes there is only one series, meaning that textual matter and explanatory material appear confusingly intercut.

The book is prefaced by photographs from the manuscript of all the textual matter edited, although these are spoilt by being trimmed to the text-area only.

Many of the footnotes deal with textual matters such as alternative readings from different versions; other notes compare this translation with other ancient and new translations.

Scattergood acknowledges this briefly in his introductory chapter and returns to it intermittently in discussion of individual works; his focus in the book is not primarily on textual matters, however, but rather on the elucidation of the traditions and contexts informing Skelton's practice.
