Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

  • This edition is expected to match one published in New York under the same series name, or "Lovell's American Authors [Series]". Books selected for the UK series, printed in New York, were probably published also in a later series "World Classics in Large Print", although WorldCat records imply that that brand dates from the 1890s.
