  5/-^?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

• Notes:

  • Translated by Percy E. Pinkerton 1st ed. this translation
  • Contents with page numbers are from online views of interior pages for this translation under three titles (this title as 1903 ed./printing), all as 303 pages. Except the title leaves, printed pages in those editions appear to be identical.
  • Publication date (inferred) and price from "List of New Books", The Athenaeum 1881-09-24 p399; this one "cr 8vo 5/ cl" (size, crown octavo). That is the earliest hit found 2020-03 in automated search for short title Longnose the Dwarf, or the short US title.
  • WorldCat record OCLC 1017305800 gives page count iii+303 -- "Swan Sonnenschein, [1881]" -- Responsibility "Wilhelm Hauff" -- "Illustrations by Offterdinger and Bertall" (noted by the library) -- "with 14 plates and 19 woodcuts" (from the title page) It may be expected that plates are from the work of one artist and woodcuts from the work of the other. Nevertheless they are jointly credited below, which should be checked. Library records for multiple eds./printings suggest that Offterdinger and Bertall first illustrated a stated 14th ed. of Mährchen (German language). BL 001616816 and OCLC 255030798 report that publication (Stuttgart, 1875). OCLC 76832027 gives page count 303 -- "W. Swan Sonnenschein & Allen, [1882?]" -- Responsibility "W. Hauff" -- "Date of publication from inscription." -- "Publisher's advertisements precede text." The interpretation here is that those two records report copies of the same edition as by "W. Hauff", which matches the 1903 Swan Sonnenschein edition (viewed at HathiTrust).
