E-text prepared by Andrew Turek and revised by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. HTML version prepared by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. The illustrations for Chapters I-L were generously made available by the Google Books Library Project (http://books.google.com) and for Chapters LI-C by Internet Archive (http://archive.org).
Editorial Note: The Way We Live Now was first published in twenty monthly parts from February, 1874, to September, 1875, and in book form by Chapman and Hall in 1875. Both the monthly parts and the Chapman and Hall first edition contained the forty illustrations included in this e-book. The artist, whose name is not listed on the title page, was long thought to be Samuel Luke Fildes, but recent scholarship attributes the illustrations to Lionel Grimston Fawkes. Images of the original illustrations for Chapters I-L are available through the Google Books Library Project. See http://www.google.com/books?id=TvsBAAAAQAAJ. Those for Chapters LI-C are available through Internet Archive. See http://archive.org/details/waywelivenow02trolrich
