    • Publication date and price from listing in "Books Out Today", NY Herald Tribune 1947-03-27 p27. (Multiple dealers at ABEbooks and Amazon report December 1947. Another printing is possible, but none now reports an earlier month.)
    • Publication series name is from the front cover. One literary columnist reports "the new American World's Classics Galaxy edition" (so capitalized). One advertisement by the publisher, NY Times 1930-03-30 pBR32, displays the heading:   The first volume   to be published in the   WORLD'S CLASSICS   Galaxy EDITION
    • Preface title should be checked. Reports of its 1921 publication as "An Infidel Century", rather than "The", are known to be spurious.
    • Postscript title should be checked. "After Twentyfive Years"?
