Notes
A portion of the proof of the first periodical installment is used as part of the manuscript.
Collins numbered Part V of the Narrative of Walter Hartright (beginning p. 19) as a second Part IV, and subsequently the remaining parts of this section in the manuscript are misnumbered. Part IV of the Narrative of Vincent Gilmore is not identified as such; it is contiguous with Part III. The Narrative of Marian Halcombe written partially as a continous narrative that is not broken up into parts; those parts that are identified are not enumerated by Collins; the enumeration of parts in p. 418-467 differs from the published version.
In the above contents note, the page numbers are from Collins' pagination. The section titles and part enumerations in the above contents are from the 1996 edition, which was edited by John Sutherland; pecularities and deviations are listed below.
Minor discrepancies between the manuscript and printed versions throughout. For example, the dates in Marian Holcombe's diary differ by up to a month.
With author's signed attestation on a preliminary leaf, noting that the work was begun at Broadstairs on 15 August 1859, and completed in London on 26 July 1860. Revisions and emmendations throughout, and with some notes to printers signed "W.C." and some notes in pencil, presumably by the printer. Paginated by Collins 1-490; pagination includes p. 103A.
