I'm curious: How many such amalgams has PG produced? What was the latest?
There is no effort to count them, so I doubt you could get a reliable number. One I remember clearly doing was "Roughing it in the Bush" by Susanna Moodie. I used as my basis a text online at another site, which curiously enough, had a very scholarly citation of exactly what it used as its source, although it still had a large number of evident transcription errors. (Also, it said that it was based on the 1852 first edition. Although, learning about the publishing history of this text, I found that there were varying forms of the first edition, as corrections were being made to the plates _during_ the printing process.) Also, on the topic of alamgams, it may help to realize that sometimes corrections are made to a PG text using a different edition than was originally used. Andrew
