Alterations in the Manuscript

The list of alterations records every change made by Mark Twain in the manuscript. The only exceptions are the essential corrections that he made as he wrote or reread his work. These fall into six categories: (1) letters or words that have been mended, traced over, or canceled and rewritten for clarity; (2) false starts and slips of the pen; (3) corrected eye skips; (4) words or phrases that have been inadvertently repeated, then canceled; (5) corrected misspellings; and (6) inadvertent additions of letters or punctuation that have been subsequently canceled—for instance, an incorrect “they” or “then” altered to “the,” or superfluous quotation marks canceled at the end of a narrative passage. The first words of chapters appear in this list as Mark Twain wrote them, although they are styled in the text of this edition with a full capital followed by small capital letters.

If an altered reading has been emended, the fact is noted in the entry here. In descriptions of Mark Twain’s revisions, use of the word “above” signals that new writing is interlined, while use of the word “over” means that something is written in the same space as the reading it supplants, covering it. The term “wiped out” signifies that Mark Twain obliterated a word by smearing it with his finger. “Follows” and “followed by” are spatial, not necessarily temporal, descriptions. A vertical rule indicates the end of a line in the manuscript. div:

Description of the Manuscript

The manuscript of The Prince and the Pauper, in the Henry E. Huntington Library, San Marino, California, consists of 866 pages, inscribed in three distinct colors of ink with some revision in pencil. In this edition, Mark Twain’s writing materials are designated as follows:

Ink 1 is violet, a bright bluish purple. The earliest pages of The Prince and the Pauper were written in this ink. Though it has not been possible to date the pages precisely, they were written sometime before the summer of 1877, perhaps in late 1876.

Ink 2 is dark brownish purple. This ink was used on those pages of the manuscript written from late 1877 through early 1878 and again in the winter and spring of 1880. Ink 2 was also used to revise pages written in ink 1.

Ink 3 is blue. This ink was used for the final portion of the manuscript, from May or June 1880 until its completion on 1 February 1881. It was also used to revise the earlier pages written in inks 1 and 2.

Pencil was used intermittently for revision throughout the manuscript.

Crystal—Lake Mills paper was used for the earliest pages, written in ink 1, and for many of the pages written in ink 2. Three varieties of paper—buff, white laid, and P & P—were used only for pages written in ink 2. White wove paper was used for some pages written in ink 2, but mainly for the pages written in ink 3. A description of the papers follows:

Crystal—Lake Mills (CLM) is white, unwatermarked, wove stationery, ruled horizontally in blue, and torn into half—sheets measuring 20.5 by 12.5 centimeters (8 1/16 by 4 15/16 inches). It is embossed in the upper left corner with a picture of a building and the words “Crystal—Lake Mills.”

Buff is a buff—colored, laid stationery which is torn into half—sheets measuring 19.9 by 12.4 centimeters (7 13/16 by 4⅞ inches) with vertical chain—lines 2.5 centimeters (15/16 inch) apart.

P & P is a white, laid stationery, ruled horizontally in blue, and torn into half—sheets measuring 20.3 by 12.4 centimeters (8 by 4⅞ inches). It has horizontal chain—lines 2.2 centimeters (⅞ inch) apart. A device with the initials “P & P,” often quite faint, is embossed in the upper left corner of some of the pages.

White laid (WL) is a white, laid stationery, ruled horizontally in blue, and torn into half—sheets measuring 20.1 by 12.4 centimeters (7⅞ by 4⅞ inches). It has vertical chain—lines 2 centimeters (¾ inch) apart.

White wove (WW) is a white, unwatermarked, wove stationery, torn into half—sheets measuring 17.8 by 11.5 centimeters (7 by 4½ inches).
