About This Item
Cross describes the need for this edition so soon after the first: "Immediate revision was rendered imperative on account of the numerous errors that crept into the text owing to the haste with which the novel had been at last put through the press.... Type and paper are the same and the paging is kept uniform with the edition having the errata.... The table of contents is re-spaced so as to extend into the page formerly given to the errata.... Scores of individual pages differ either in the number of lines or in the last words and phrases."
