Notes


by the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, author of "Lothair," "Venetia," "Henrietta Temple," "Contarini Fleming," "Coningsby," etc., etc.

This publication contains both The Woundrous Tale of Alroy and (probably non-genre) The Rise of Iskander --as does the first edition of either work in a book, The Woundrous Tale of Alroy: The Rise of Iskander (1833)-- but this publication's essentially identical front cover and title page do not indicate that it contains the second work.


Data primarily from e-copy at HathiTrust Digital Library, especially its nearly identical front cover and title page. Those do not reveal that the book contains also The Rise of Iskander (as did the 1833 book, whose title revealed the fact). Nor is there a second title page for that work. -- no front matter except cover leaf and title leaf -- printed in double columns, small typeface -- Miriam Alroy spans p[3]-83, Iskander p[85]-108 -- publisher catalogue comprises two back leaves p[109-12] and cover leaf, including this series vols 1-22 on the back cover

Series, series number, and price are from the front cover, which thus differs substantially from the title page.

WorldCat (OCLC, below) calls the cover "wrapper" and reports size 24 cm.
