Notes
Formerly bound in brown leather by Riviere & Son. Disbound in 2017; binding discarded.
High reserve.
The first two pages contain the preface to The professor. The third page contains six lines from an unidentified story. The fourth page contains calculations of how handwritten pages will translate to printed pages.
This preface, though undated, was written after Shirley because the opening sentence of the preface refers to Shirley. Brontë wrote Shirley in 1848-9 so this preface must have been written between 1848 and Brontë's death in 1855.
Written in pencil.
