Note 45 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.
The History of Pendennis (London: Bradbury and Evans, Nov. 1848-Dec. 1850, twenty-four numbers in twenty-three parts, and 1849-50 in two volumes). My conclusions are based on the machine collation of five copies: three sets of parts and two book issues. In addition I have examined nine other copies.
