VARNEY, THE VAMPYRE, OR, THE FEAST OF BLOOD. Chapter CXXIV. [There is no chapter 124 to Varney, the Vampyre; or, The Feast of Blood, thought to have been written by James Malcolm Rymer and published by E. Lloyd, Salisbury Square. The last actual chapter was Chapter 123: MRS. WILLIAMS TAKES THE INITIATIVE, AND NEARLY CATCHES AN ADMIRAL. The next will be Chapter 126: THE ADMIRAL IN A BREEZE. -- A GENERAL COMMOTION, AND JACK PRINGLE MUCH WANTED, BUT NOT TO BE FOUND.] These chapter omissions are most probably due to a chapter numbering error in which CXXIV was accidentally transformed into CXXVI, probably during typesetting. Later, however, another chapter numbering error leads to a revisiting of the lost chapter numbers. -+- +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | This Varney the Vampyre e-text was entered by members of the | | Science Fiction Round Table #1 (SFRT1) on the Genie online | | service. | | The Varney Project, a reincarnation of this "penny dreadful" bit | | of fiction, was begun in November of 1993 by James Macdonald and | | should take about four years for re-serialization. | | These chapters are being posted once a week to the Round Table | | Bulletin Board and are also being placed in the Round Table File | | Library. | | For further information concerning Varney e-texts, please send | | email to: | | h.liu@juno.com | +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ ============================================================================== The Varney Project Chapter 124 Ver 1.00 06/10/1996 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ General notes on this chapter Source: reprint of 1847 edition Drop capital: N/A Figures in source: N/A Page numbers in source: N/A Approximate number of characters: Number of paragraphs: Comments: Chapter 124 does not appear in the 1847 reprint edition of Varney. Whether it existed in the original publication in 1845-47 or in the 1853 printing is unknown. There are no gaps in page numbering in the 1847 printing, so either the chapters were really lost, or an error occurred in numbering the chapters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Modification History Version Date Who What changes made -------- -------- ------------- ---------------------------------- ==================================End of File=================================
