Guide to the Textual Apparatus

But that which is most difficult is not always most important, and to an editor nothing is a trifle by which his authour is obscured.

—Samuel Johnson, “Preface to Shakespeare”

An individual textual apparatus for each sketch provides everything needed to reconstruct the copy-text and Mark Twain's revisions (whenever any survives). Each apparatus usually, but not invariably, includes the elements described below. A description of texts follows the guide to the apparatus in this volume; it identifies textually significant editions of Mark Twain's sketches and specifies the copies collated and examined in the preparation of this collection. A list of word divisions in this volume, which records ambiguous compounds hyphenated in the present edition at the end of a line, is given at the end of the entire apparatus to facilitate accurate quotation of Mark Twain's texts.

Textual Commentary. This section gives the copy-text and specifies the copy or copies used; it discusses problems or unusual features of the text; and under a subheading, “Reprintings and Revisions,” gives the history of the sketch and characterizes Mark Twain's revisions of it.

Textual Notes. This section discusses emendations or decisions not to emend: it calls attention to possible errors left un-emended in the text, to problems in establishing particular readings, and to variants in the reprinting history which are especially problematic.

Emendations of the Copy-Text. This section records every departure in this edition from the copy-text, with the exception of the typographical features discussed above. It also records the resolution of doubtful or ambiguous readings. In each entry, the reading of this edition is given first, with its source identified by a symbol in parentheses; it is separated by a centered dot from the rejected copy-text reading on the right, thus:

daguerreotype (JF1) • daguerreotpe
[begin page 570]

A wavy dash (˜) to the right of the dot stands for the word on the left and signals that a mark of punctuation is being emended; a caret () indicates the absence of a punctuation mark; and the symbol I-C follows any emendation whose source is not an authoritative text, even if the same correction was made in a derivative edition, thus:

cold. (I-C) • ˜?

moment. (I-C) • ˜

Emendations marked with an asterisk in the left margin are discussed in the textual notes. A vertical rule indicates the end of a line in the copy-text, thus:

footsteps (I-C) • foot- | steps

secret? These (I-C) • ˜? — | ˜

Italicized words in square brackets, such as not in, no, and torn, are editorial. Doubtful readings are recorded with the following notation:

Cairo (I-C) • Ca o torn ir not present, tear in copy-text
long (I-C) • long torn g unclear, tear in copy-text
every (I-C) • every r unclear in copy-text
meant, (I-C) • ˜, comma unclear in copy-text
eat; (I-C) • ˜: semicolon unclear, possibly colon
notion. (I-C) • ˜ space for period in copy-text
saw (I-C) • saw/has seen alternate reading left standing in copy-text

Emendations and Adopted Readings. This section replaces Emendations of the Copy-Text when the text is established from [begin page 571] radiating or composite texts. It records all variants, substantive and accidental, among the relevant texts, which are identified by abbreviations with superscript numbers; the numbers are assigned according to the chronology of publication and do not indicate relative authority of the texts. Thus the following entry shows that three texts agree with each other against a fourth, and the majority reading has been adopted in this collection:

savan (P1–2, P4) • savan (P3)

And the following entry shows that a compound hyphenated at the end of a line in one text and rendered solid in another is resolved in accord with the two that render it hyphenated:

fore-finger (P1–2) • fore-
finger (P3); forefinger (P4)

An entry that rejects all of the radiating texts in favor of an editorial emendation appears as follows:

mixture. (I-C) • ˜, (P1–4)

Diagram of Transmission and Historical Collation. These elements appear in the textual apparatus only for sketches reprinted or revised by Mark Twain. We give a diagram every time there is a chain of transmission, and it is essential for reading the entries in the historical collation. A list of the texts collated for each sketch immediately precedes the collation, which records all substantive variants in them. In addition, because Mark Twain is known to have concerned himself with revising emphasis (italics and exclamation points) as well as paragraphing, such variants in accidentals are likewise recorded. When Mark Twain demonstrably corrected or revised other accidentals—spelling, punctuation, and so on—in any of the surviving marked copies (YSMT, JF1MT, HWaMT, HWbMT, and MTSkMT), the full history of the particular accidental variant is also recorded.

In each collation entry the reading of this edition is given first, followed by symbols for the texts that agree with it; it is separated by a centered dot from its variants, which are identified by the [begin page 572] appropriate symbols (given in the list of texts collated). A sample chain of transmission is given in figure 1 to facilitate understanding the examples that follow. Each transmission diagram in the individual apparatuses is essential to reading the collation for that sketch, because although the pattern of transmission is similar for many sketches, it varies in significant ways from sketch to sketch.

Symbols joined by a dash (–) indicate that the reading appeared in the first text noted and was transmitted as far as the second. Thus the entry

git (GE–JF4) • get (JF3–SkNO)

indicates that the original dialect word was accurately transmitted from the Golden Era (GE) through JF1 and JF2 to JF4; but that Hotten altered it to “get” in his JF3, from where it was transmitted to HWa, then to HWb, and ultimately to SkNO, without being corrected by Mark Twain. A plus sign (+) indicates that the reading appears in the given text and in all printings derived from it. Thus the entry

If (GE) • no If (JF1 +)

indicates that a paragraph break appears at this point in GE, but not in JF1 or in any subsequent reprinting deriving from it. A more complicated entry, involving Mark Twain's revision, appears thus:

believe I threw (GE–MTSk, GE–HWa) • believed I had thrown (HWaMT–SkNO)

Here several complexities are recorded. The reading of the present edition and of the copy-text was, in this case, successfully transmitted from GE through JF1, JF2, and JF4 to MTSk; it was also transmitted from GE through JF1, JF2, and JF3 to HWa. Mark Twain encountered it there and revised it to the variant reading in HWaMT, which was incorporated in HWb and subsequently reprinted in SkNO. A still more complicated entry appears thus:

and ate . . . healthy. After (GE–JF2; GE–HWa) • and [begin page 573]

Figure 1. Sample diagram of transmission (from “How to Cure a Cold,” no. 63).
[begin page 574] eat. . . healthy. After (JF4); and, —— After (MTSk); and—here is food for the imagination. After (HWaMT–SkNO)

The original reading was transmitted successfully from GE through JF1 to JF2; it was also successfully transmitted from GE through JF1, JF2, and JF3 to HWa. JF4 altered “ate” to “eat” without authority. Mark Twain revised the JF4 text by striking out the passage following “and” and substituting an expressive long dash in MTSk. But when he revised HWaMT, he revised differently: he again deleted the matter after “and,” but substituted another dash and the phrase “here is food for the imagination.” This revision was incorporated in HWb and subsequently reprinted in SkNO.

The historical collation preserves all substantive variants in the texts collated, whether or not they originated with Mark Twain. But the history of reprinting and revision given in the textual introduction permits us to make certain discriminations between variants which Mark Twain certainly made, and those which he could not possibly have made.

(1) Variants that first appear in JF2, JF3, JF4, Scrs, EOps, PJks, and HWa cannot be authorial.

(2) Variants that first appear in JF1, CD, MTSk, HWb, Sk#1, and SkNO may be authorial, but may also have been introduced by editors or compositors.

(3) Variants for which we have documentary evidence in the form of Mark Twain's autograph changes—YSMT, JF1MT, HWaMT, HWbMT, and MTSkMT (and a few stray examples of printer's copy in other forms)—are certainly authorial, and are so indicated in the collation by the symbol MT. Any variant that arises in JF1, HWb, or SkNO can be certainly attributed to Mark Twain when the revision appears first in the marked printer's copy.

The textual apparatus may contain other elements that are more or less self-explanatory. In the items where copy-text is a holograph, we include a section called Alterations in the Manuscript, which reports the author's cancellations, substitutions, and revisions. Essential corrections that Mark Twain made as he wrote or [begin page 575] reread his work are not recorded: letters or words that have been mended or traced over, or canceled and rewritten merely for clarity; false starts and slips of the pen; corrected eye skips; and words or phrases that have been inadvertently repeated, then canceled.

Special collations are provided when a potentially authoritative text—for instance, a contemporary reprinting of uncertain origin—has not been used to establish the present text because it is probably derivative. The variants are recorded as a check on this decision.

Description of Texts

The following list identifies and briefly characterizes textually significant editions, impressions, and issues of Mark Twain's early tales and sketches used in the preparation of the present collection. These include editions for which Mark Twain prepared the printer's copy, as well as editions that he did not so prepare but that form part of the chain of transmission. Individual journal printings and manuscripts, and several minor editions that affect only a few sketches, are not included in this list but are of course defined in the textual commentaries. Also excluded, but listed at the end, are a group of editions found to be derivative and without textual significance.

Bibliographical terms used here follow the definitions of Fredson Bowers in Principles of Bibliographical Description (New York: Russell and Russell, 1962) and of G. Thomas Tanselle in “The Bibliographical Concepts of Issue and State” (PBSA 69 1975: 17–66). Sight collation means the collation of two or more copies printed from different settings of type. Machine collation means the collation on the Hinman collator of two copies printed from the same typesetting or from plates cast from the same typesetting. (The Hinman machine superimposes the images of the two copies on each other and thereby enables the operator to detect even minute typographic differences.)

Following the description of texts is a list of the specific copies of each edition or issue used in the preparation of this collection.

YSMT       The Yale Scrapbook, which contains clippings from the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, Californian, San Francisco Golden Era, San Francisco Dramatic Chronicle, Sacramento Union, and other unidentified newspapers (Yale). The clippings were published between mid-December 1863 and late October 1866. Many of them were revised by Mark Twain, and the scrapbook supplied most of the printer's copy for JF1.
JF1      The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, And other Sketches. By Mark Twain. Edited by John Paul. New York: C. H. Webb, 1867. BAL 3310. An authorized American edition. All of the sketches in JF1 were set from newspaper and journal printings—many of them unauthoritative reprints, and most of them taken as clippings from YSMT. Machine collation shows no authoritative changes in the plates through 1870, when Mark Twain had them destroyed.
JF1MT       The copy of an 1869 impression of JF1 revised by Mark Twain (Doheny).
JF2      The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, And other Sketches. By Mark Twain. Edited by John Paul. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1867. BAL 3586. An unau- [begin page 578] thorized English edition, set from JF1. JF2 was used as printer's copy in setting both Hotten's unauthorized JF3 and the Routledges' authorized JF4a.
JF3      The Jumping Frog and Other Humourous Sketches. By Mark Twain. Samuel L. Clemens. From the Original Edition. London: John Camden Hotten, 1870. BAL 3587. An unauthorized English edition, set from JF2. The plates (or duplicate plates) of JF3 were used to supply the text of JF3 in Hotten's A 3rd Supply of Yankee Drolleries 1870, listed in BAL , p. 246. JF3 served as printer's copy for portions of Hotten's unauthorized HWa.
JF4     
JF4a      The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, And other Sketches. By Mark Twain. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1870. BAL 3319. The earliest issue of an authorized English edition, set from JF2. JF4a contained what advertisements (and perhaps the cover, which we have not seen) called “a New Copyright Chapter,” “Cannibalism in the Cars” (no. 232). Mark Twain did not revise the printer's copy for JF4a, but he did use a copy of it to prepare part of the printer's copy for the Routledges' authorized MTSk.
JF4b      Mark Twain's Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County And other Sketches. With the Burlesque Autobiography and First Romance. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1872. BAL 3338. An authorized reissue of JF4a. To produce this reissue, or “author's edition, with a copyright chapter and Mark Twain's Autobiography” (as the cover announced), the Routledges added two sketches to the plates of JF4a (“An Awful—Terrible Medieval Romance” and “A Burlesque Autobiography,” nos. 276 and 355). Mark Twain did not revise the printer's copy for JF4b, which is textually identical with JF4a except for the new sketches. Machine collation shows no authoritative changes in the plates through 1900.
BA1      Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance. New York: Sheldon and Company, 1871. BAL 3326. An authorized American edition. BA1 served as printer's copy for the Routledges' unauthorized BA2, and possibly for Hotten's unauthorized BA3 as well. Machine collation of BA1 shows no authorial changes in the plates through 1882, when Mark Twain had them destroyed.
BA2      Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1871. BAL 3595. An unauthorized English edition, set from BA1.
[begin page 579] BA3      Mark Twain's (Burlesque) 1. Autobiography. 2. Mediæval Romance. 3. On Children. London: John Camden Hotten, 1871. BAL 3329. An unauthorized English edition, set from BA1 or BA2 with the addition of two pieces not by Mark Twain.
EOps      Eye Openers: Good Things, Immensely Funny Sayings & Stories That Will Bring a Smile upon the Gruffest Countenance. By Mark Twain. London: John Camden Hotten, 1871. BAL 3331. An unauthorized English edition. Hotten reprinted many sketches from the Galaxy and a few from newspapers. Mark Twain revised a copy of EOps, which served as printer's copy for portions of the authorized Routledge MTSk. EOps also served as printer's copy for portions of Hotten's unauthorized HWa.
Scrs      Screamers: A Gathering of Scraps of Humour, Delicious Bits, & Short Stories. By Mark Twain. London: John Camden Hotten, 1871. BAL 3333. An unauthorized English edition. Scrs reprinted many sketches from the Galaxy, two from JF3, and one from the Buffalo Express. It also reprinted six sketches that were not by Mark Twain; later impressions of Scrs omit the final sketch (“Vengeance”), which was not Mark Twain's. Mark Twain revised a copy of Scrs, which served as printer's copy for portions of the authorized Routledge MTSk. Scrs also served as printer's copy for portions of Hotten's unauthorized HWa.
PJks      Practical Jokes with Artemus Ward, Including the Story of the Man Who Fought Cats. By Mark Twain and Other Humourists. London: John Camden Hotten, 1872. BAL 3342. An unauthorized English edition. PJks reprinted sketches from the Galaxy, the Buffalo Express, and Roughing It; it included many sketches not by Mark Twain. It served as printer's copy for portions of Hotten's unauthorized HWa.
CD      A Curious Dream; and Other Sketches. By Mark Twain. Selected and Revised by the Author. Copyright. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1872. BAL 3340. An authorized English edition. Mark Twain prepared the printer's copy for CD by revising clippings from the Galaxy, Buffalo Express, New York Tribune, Packard's Monthly, Newark (N.J.) Press, and American Publisher. These revised clippings also served as printer's copy for portions of the authorized Routledge MTSk. Machine collation of CD reveals only six minor textual variants, none of them authorial, which occurred sometime between the 1872 and 1892 impressions.
[begin page 580] MTSk      Mark Twain's Sketches. Selected and Revised by the Author. Copyright Edition. London: George Routledge and Sons, 1872. BAL 3341. An authorized English edition. Mark Twain prepared printer's copy for MTSk by revising copies of JF4a, EOps, and Scrs. He or his publisher also included the fifteen sketches prepared as clippings for CD. The plates of MTSk were sold to Chatto and Windus in 1892, who reissued MTSk in 1897. Machine collation reveals only minor changes and corrections, none of them authorial. Mark Twain used MTSk as printer's copy for portions of the American News Company's authorized Sk#1 and the American Publishing Company's authorized SkNO.
MTSkMT       The copy of an 1872 impression of MTSk revised by Mark Twain to serve as printer's copy for SkNO (MTP).
HW     
HWa      The Choice Humorous Works of Mark Twain. Now First Collected. With Extra Passages to the “Innocents Abroad,” Now First Reprinted, and a Life of the Author. Illustrations by Mark Twain and other Artists; also Portrait of the Author. London: John Camden Hotten, 1873. BAL 3351. An unauthorized English edition. HWa reprinted sketches from Hotten's own JF3, EOps, Scrs, and PJks, as well as all of The Innocents Abroad. It also reprinted seven sketches from MTSk or CD and extracts from Roughing It, as well as a few sketches not by Mark Twain. In 1873 Mark Twain revised a set of HWa sheets, and the plates were altered to follow his corrections and produce the authorized reissue HWb, published by Chatto and Windus, Hotten's successors.
HWaMT       The set of sheets of HWa revised by Mark Twain and used to produce HWb (Rare Book Room, New York Public Library, *KL).
HWb      The Choice Humorous Works of Mark Twain. Revised and Corrected by the Author. With Life and Portrait of the Author, and Numerous Illustrations. London: Chatto and Windus, 1874. BAL 3605. An authorized reissue of HWa. The plates of HWa were altered for HWb to follow Mark Twain's corrections on HWaMT. Machine collation of HWb reveals no further authorial changes in the plates.
HWbMT       The copy of an 1874 impression of HWb revised by Mark Twain and used as printer's copy for SkNO (Doheny).
Sk#1      Mark Twain's Sketches. Number One. Authorised Edition. With Illustrations by R. T. Sperry. New York: American News Company, 1874. BAL 3360. An authorized American [begin page 581] edition. Sk#1 reprinted ten sketches from MTSk, several of them further revised by Mark Twain, and three sketches not previously published. Machine collation was not performed because no later impression could be obtained.
SkNO      Mark Twain's Sketches, New and Old. Now First Published in Complete Form. Hartford and Chicago: American Publishing Company, 1875. BAL 3364. An authorized American edition. SkNO drew the bulk of its sketches from copies of MTSk and HWb which Mark Twain revised—MTSkMT and HWbMT—and the rest of its sketches from manuscripts and revised clippings. Machine collation reveals that in the first impression a new preface replaced that of the publisher's prospectus, which was otherwise printed from the plates of SkNO. Later impressions of SkNO made minor corrections and dropped one sketch (“From ‘Hospital Days’ ”) which was not written by Mark Twain.
