Message:: [QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 239767, member: 57"]In reference to my post earlier today, I just realized something about the book which I had not previously noticed.  Immediately after the title page there is a page which states (in its entirety): "It is my wish that Messrs. Dodd & Mead alone should publish this Story in the United States and I appeal to the generosity and courtesy of other Publishers to allow me to gain some benefit from my work on the American as well as the English side of the Atlantic."  Under that sentence and toward the right edge of the page is "Hesba Stetton." in typeset print and with the period after the name. I just realized that on the book's spine and on the title page the author is shown as "Hesba Stretton" but on the page quoted directly above the author's surname is printed as "Stetton" (not "Stretton"). What, if anything, does anyone make of that?  Thanks for any and all thoughts you might have.[/QUOTE]
