- Notes:
- There are three different Scribner, Armstrong editions of this book published in 1874: The first edition; the illustrated, or "complete", edition; and the "popular" edition. The three editions all have completely different covers. The precedence between the other two editions is uncertain, but L.W. Currey suggests they may have been pubished simultaneously. This is the "popular" edition, containing 20 illustrations by Riou.
- This edition is undated. Publication date and price from L.W. Currrey. Currey says that this edition was published "to undermine sales of the unauthorized edition published in Boston in 1874 by Henry L. Shepard." He also suggests that this "may have been published simultaneously with Scribner, Armstrong's more lavish 413-page "complete" edition".
