Note 15 — II Genesis of the Novel of Roman Life
Reading edition
The date 1827 is given in the publisher’s note to the 1901 edition, as the date when Salathiel was first published. This is evidently a mistake on the part of the publishers (Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls), since 1829 is given as the original date of publication by historians of the novel (e. g., George Saintsbury in The English Novel), and in biographical accounts of Croly (e. g., The Dictionary of National Biography, etc.).
