New York Weekly edition
(first narrative-second narrative, pages 1-2 in New York Weekly, v. XXX, no. 1, November 9, 1874):
Introductory Note.- The original version of this story was published some years since in England in "Household Words." In the present version-written for my public reading in the United States-new characters and new incidents are introduced, and a new beginning and ending have been written. Indeed the whole complexion of the narrative differs so essentially from the older and shorter version, as to justify me in believing that the reader will find in these pages what is, to all practical intents and purposes, a new story. The story as I print it is considerably longer than the version read by me in America; the limits of time in the case of a public reading rendering it imperatively necessary to abridge without mercy developments and incidents which are essential to the due presentation of a work in its literary form. - Wilkie Collins |
