Notes

Original published text, substantially shorter than the author's manuscript, but not to be confused with the abridged edition, which shortened it further.

Author's name spelled Tressall, which subsequently became Tressell.

 Changed to Tressell then. The Tressall spelling is just an historical oddity.

 The "author" field is the name of the author as he/she is known, so we don't need to worry how it is written on the book.

 Presumably we can link the two author names by pseudonym.

I tried reading this a few years back (my ex-wife's late grandfather gave me his copy) and I must confess with some shame I never finished it. Perhaps I ought to give it another go at some point.

 This book throws up a number of practical issues.

1. To me, this is basically the first edition, but as the page above shows, it is a 1927 reprint. I've entered it as 1914, and it carries a "Preface to the First Edition" - but also a "Foreword to the 1927 Edition". Should I change it to 1927?

2. The author's pen-name Tressall was wrongly spelt by the publisher. When the complete manuscript was published many years later, this was finally corrected to Tressell - when those editions go up, we'll have the same book with two different authors!

3. Or, will we? The later editions are at least three times as long, and with the different name spelling - will they be considered separate, or just a continuation of same? The full edition permanently replaced this shortened one after it was published.
