- 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"?
