¶See Sadleir 994; an American edition, dated 1839, described 'in default of an alternative'. Sadleir cannot pin down the first edition, noting the earliest in the BL is this Baudry edition. Oxford and Cambridge both list an 1839 edition in three volumes, published by Henry Colburn. Wolff did not have this title in his collection. The other tales listed are 'The Leper-House of Janval', 'The Household Hospital', 'Dives and Lazarus; or, Ireland!', 'Rigour of the Law in 1657', 'The Patriot Martyr of Old England', 'Married and Single', 'The Sisters; or, Nature and Art', 'Ursel', 'The Royalists of Peru', 'The Red Man', and 'The Christening Cloth'.
