Condensed Novels

A later 'enlarged edition' issued by James R. Osgood & Co. of Boston in 1871 (BAL 7255) is a different, later printing: it drops the original 'Civic Sketches' and other miscellaneous pieces, adds two new parodies ('Handsome is as Handsome Does' and 'Lothaw'), and carries new illustrations by S. Eytinge, Jr. rather than Frank Bellew. It is more commonly found on the market than the scarce 1867 Carleton first edition and should not be mistaken for it.
