    Published late 1849 as 1850. Contemporary newspapers and WorldCat library records jointly show that Appleton published the same 219-page collection in 1849, 1852, and 1854; under three different titles and as 1850, 1853, and 1855.

    WorldCat (OCLC, below) as "D. Appleton & Co., 1850" is the source for stated year 1850. {{OCLC|2636834}} reports a later edition as "D. Appleton & Company, 1853 (c)1849". The latter provides a list of Contents as all 7 Caravan story titles ("Introduction" omitted), where the record as 1850 omits the first three contained stories. The latter reports "219, [9] pages : illustrations", and the former merely "219 pages front" (frontispiece), both as "illustrated by J.W. Orr" from the title page.
