TICKNOR & FIELDS AND ITS SUCCESSORS
a summary of editions of Meredith's Lucile held by
The Book Arts Press (BAP) and/or Sidney & Elizabeth Huttner (S&EH)
with a note of
Total # Other Reported Copies

Editions of Lucile are arranged on this page by their date of introduction. Meredith's Works are summarized similarly on another page.

E.g., BAP(2) = 2 copies are held by Book Arts Press, The University of Virginia.
E.g., S&EH (calf) = copy in calf skin binding held by Sidney & Elizabeth Huttner, Iowa City, IA.
/# = total number of copies, all bindings, reported by other sources.

An entry in the form "(Month Day: # copies)." indicates the number of copies of an edition printed on a specific date as recorded in the ledgers of Ticknor & Fields 1860-1878.

Bracketed dates (i.e., [1874]) = There is a probable or possible edition with this date, but no copies have as yet been reported; Unbracketed dates = at least one copy with this imprint date has been reported or seen. Many -- many! -- copies offered e.g. on eBay have not been noted and are not regarded as "reported."

Copies are in cloth bindings except as noted. Copies, however, are often known in cloth of different color(s) than those pictured here as well as in calf, morocco, leatherette, and other bindings. More detailed records can be found on the pages of each of the publishers, i.e., Ticknor & Fields, Fields, Osgood & Co., etc.

NOTE: recorded copies are not up-to-date as of the date at foot of page. Work in progress!
