<Note> 
Data primarily from e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library, especially its nearly identical <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/2027/hvd.hwhs7f?urlappend=%3Bseq=7">front cover</a> and title page. Those do not reveal that the book contains also The Rise of Iskander (as did the 1833 book, whose title revealed the fact). Nor is there a second title page for that work.
-- no front matter except cover leaf and title leaf
-- printed in double columns, small typeface
-- Miriam Alroy spans p[3]-83, Iskander p[85]-108
-- publisher catalogue comprises two back leaves p[109-12] and cover leaf, including this series vols 1-22 on the back cover
 
Series, series number, and price are from the front cover, which thus differs substantially from the title page.
 
WorldCat (OCLC, below) calls the cover "wrapper" and reports size 24 cm.</Note>

This publication contains both The Woundrous Tale of Alroy and (probably non-genre) The Rise of Iskander --as does the first edition of either work in a book, The Woundrous Tale of Alroy: The Rise of Iskander (1833)-- but this publication’s essentially identical front cover and title page do not indicate that it contains the second work.</TitleNote>

<ModNote>later check newspapers --1st US ed.? from the Prime Minister of GB? 
• 1833, 1870, and 1904 (The Works, vol 7) editions all contain the same two works; 
• before further data entry (tomorrow?) estimate the word-count, as these may be COLLECTION of novella and novelette, say 
• (The Rise of Iskander has been omitted from Contents of 1833 and 1904 publications by earlier editors, as probably non-genre --stated by or inferred from Reginald or SFE3?)</ModNote>
