{and that tale of Isfin and Eöl may not here be told}This will have been told earlier.

In it's own chapter? How earlier.

{Less fair was he than most of this goodly folk, swart and of none too kindly mood, so that he won small love, and whispers there were that he had Orc's blood in his veins, but I know not how this could be true.}
I think this should be deleted, though we are without any direct contradiction of it. There is no later indication that Maeglin was 'swart', and certainly there were not rumours that he had Orc's blood!

Isn't that too harsh, to erase all of it.

/*FG Yet as meed of treachery did {Melko} [Morgoth] threaten {Meglin} [Maeglin] with the torment of the Balrogs. Now these were demons with whips of flame and claws of steel by whom he tormented those of the {Noldoli} [Noldor] who durst withstand him in anything − and the Eldar have called them {Malkarauki} [Valaroukar]. But the rede that {Meglin} [Maeglin] gave to {Melko} [Morgoth] was that not all the host of the {Orcs} [Orks] nor the Balrogs in their fierceness might by assault or siege hope ever to overthrow the walls and gates of Gondolin even if they availed to win unto the plain without. Therefore he counselled {Melko} [Morgoth] to devise out of his sorceries a succour for his warriors in their endeavour. From the greatness of his wealth of metals and his powers of fire he bid him make beasts like snakes and dragons of irresistible might that should overcreep the Encircling Hills and lap that plain and its fair city in flame and death.*/

Is Mechanical monsters to be addressed here?
