Chart IV—Six Title-pages for Vanity Fair
Though the characteristics of the first title-page listed below are definitely those of the first printing, the order of the subsequent printings is conjectural. Smith, Elder and Co. reissued the first edition with two relatively accurate title-page dates: 1866 and 1868. (See discussion, p. 126.)
