Title

Letter to the Editor: Carroll's use of plus signs and ampersands)

Author

Matthew Demakos

Published

The Carrollian - Issue 7 (Spring 2001), page 64

Abstract The letter explains the erroneous habit scholars have of replacing Carroll's hand-scripted plus sign (+) with an ampersand (&) in transcriptions of his letters when, in fact, he had a different pen stroke for each character. Illustrations of the two characters are given.
