Lewis Carroll

First published February 2010
Type Essay

    Published in 2010 under the heading   PREFACE to the 1890 EDITION.   (ADDRESSED TO ANY MOTHER.) which differs only in the first line from the 1889 preface (People's Edition viewed at HathiTrust).

    The 2010 text is identical to that of the 1889 preface (see), in wording and typesetting, except in its closing line,   Easter-tide, 1890. in place of "Eastertide, 1889." The 2010 "Publisher's Note" states in part, "this edition reproduces the typesetting of the 1890 version" (viewed as "Look inside" at Amazon UK 2018-05-05). So it appears that the 1889 and 1890 prefaces are identical, in wording and typesetting.
