Textual Notes Contents
Ⓐ “Give . . . Overboard.—] The table of contents in the first edition of Huckleberry Finn does not analyze the “raft episode” because that
“episode” was dropped from the book shortly before publication.
It is part of the present text, so this portion of the table of contents is adopted from
the running heads, not the table of contents, for chapter 3 of the first edition of
Life on
the Mississippi, where the “raft episode” first appeared. Unlike Huckleberry Finn where the chapter descriptions in the table of contents are the same as the running
heads
on recto pages (called “page titles” by Webster), Life on the Mississippi
has contents entries different from its running heads. The running heads are here
preferred over the contents
descriptions because they derive from the contents of each page and because they are
written in the third
person, thus more closely resembling the other contents entries in Huckleberry
Finn.
Ⓐ News of
Jim] The first edition reads “News from Jim” in the table of contents and in the “page
title,” a description supplied by the publisher and meant to analyze the passage in
chapter 31 where Huck [begin page 812] learns from a passing boy that the king has
sold Jim for forty dollars. Clearly, Huck hears news of Jim, not from Jim. The correction is made for the first time in this edition.
Ⓐ The Lost
Shirt] The first edition reads “The Last Shirt” in the table of contents and in the
“page
title,” a description supplied by the publisher and meant to analyze the passage in
chapter 37 where Aunt Sally complains to Uncle Silas about his missing shirt and Silas
responds
“I don’t believe I’ve ever lost one of them off of me” (see
314.22–23). The first edition’s mistaken “Last” might well have resulted from a
mistranscription of the publisher’s handwritten “Lost”. The correction is made for
the
first time in this edition.
