Note 42 to Chapter 5 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.
Smith, Elder did not always discard Bradbury and Evans engraved title pages when reissuing the books. The single copies I have see, of the Smith, Elder reissues of the first edition of Pendennis and The Newcomes in 1866 both have new Smith, Elder titel pages but retain the engraved cities showing the Bradbury and Evans imprint.
