Errata in Lectures

Peter L. Shillingsburg, Professor of English, Mississippi State University

Note 39 to Chapter 3 of the author's Pegasus in Harness: Victorian Publishing and W. M. Thackeray, which University Press of Virginia published in 1992. It has been included in the Victorian Web with the kind permission of the author, who of course retains copyright.

It is possible that Thackeray was sent a bound proof copy, which he may have mistaken for the trade edition, for only three copies are known to exist in a form corresponding to his description of the one he received; see Edgar Harden, English Humourists, p. 203.
