Each volume contains sixteen illustrations printed separately and sixteen line drawings in the text. Green cloth, gilt, blocked in blind. Pale yellow end-papers.
This story first appeared in thirty-two demy 8vo sixpenny weekly parts, dated October 17 (1868) to May 22 (1869), bound in green-grey paper wrappers, printed in red and black. Each part contains a full-page line-engraved illustration by Marcus Stone, printed separately, and one small drawing in the text. Each part, as well as the title-page, etc., included in Part XXXII. bears the imprint of Virtue and Co., but the novel, when issued in book form, appeared over the imprint of Strahan and Co.
Notes—(i) Four weeks after the appearance of Part I. (early in November, 1869) a parallel series of two-shilling monthly parts was inaugurated, of which the first, containing the first four weekly parts, was immediately issued, and the remainder at regular intervals. The earliest part issue was therefore the weekly one. Margaret Lavington in her Trollope bibliography, states that the first four parts were wrappered in one. This observation was probably made from an examination of a made-up set of parts composed, as to the first four, of the second issue and, as to the remainder, of the first (see above).
(ii) The story appeared in two-volume form in May, 1869.
