This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote John Speed's work England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland Described and Abridged (1st edition, 1627). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.
The template takes the following parameters:
|1=
or |chapter=
– the name of the chapter quoted from.|para=
or |paragraph=
– the paragraph number quoted from.|sig=
or |signature=
, and |verso=
– as the work is unpaginated, |sig=
or |signature=
can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1
or |verso=yes
; if |verso=
is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
[
and ]
For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4]
: see the example below.|sig=
or |signature=
, and |verso=
, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend=
or |signatureend=
, and |versoend=
, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.|2=
or |page=
– mandatory in some cases: use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/SpeedEngland1627Images/page/n11/mode/1up
, specify |page=11
. This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.|3=
, |text=
, or |passage=
– a passage quoted from the work.|footer=
– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=
– use |brackets=on
to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.{{RQ:Speed England|chapter=Cornwall|sig=[D6]|verso=1|para=3|page=69|passage=The Soile for the moſt part is lifted vp into many hilles, parted aſunder vvith narrovv and ſhort vallies, and a ſhallovv earth doth couer their out-ſide, vvhich by a ''Sea-vveede'' called ''Orevvood'', and a certaine kinde of fruitfull ''Sea-ſand'', they make ſo ranke and '''batten''', as is vncredible.}}
