Publisher's practice

How Smith, Elder marked its first editions

The first edition of Jane Eyre (1847) is in three volumes with the title page reading "edited by Currer Bell" and the imprint of Smith, Elder and Co., London.
First-edition copies carry a 32-page publisher's catalogue, which auction descriptions record in more than one form: dated June 1847 in some copies, with a leaf advertising The Calcutta Review at the end of volume 1, and dated October at the end of volume 1 in others.
