THE CLAVERINGS. | By | Anthony Trollope. | With Sixteen Illustrations, by M. Ellen Edwards. | In Two Volumes. | London: | Smith, Elder and Co., 65, Cornhill. | M.DCCC.LXVII. |
This was the last book written for the Cornhill in which it appeared serially from February 1866 to May 1867. The total sum received was £2800, being the highest rate of pay ever accorded to Trollope. It was offered by George Smith, the proprietor of the magazine, and paid in a single cheque.

THE | LAST CHRONICLE | OF | BARSET. | By | Anthony Trollope. | With Thirty-two | Illustrations by George H. Thomas. | In Two Volumes. | London: | Smith, Elder and Co., 65, Cornhill. | M.DCCC.LXVII. |
The shilling magazines having interfered greatly with the success of novels published in numbers without other accompanying matter, George Smith made the experiment of bringing this book out in monthly parts at sixpence each. The enterprise was not entirely successful, but the author received £3000 for the use of the MS.
He killed off “Mrs. Proudie” in consequence of a conversation he could not help overhearing between two clergymen at the Athenæum Club.

LOTTA SCHMIDT | And other Stories | By Anthony Trollope | (device of anchor with motto “Anchora Spei”) | Alexander Strahan, Publisher | 56 Ludgate Hill, London | 1867 | The right of Translation is reserved |
The half-fly-leaf bears the words, “Reprinted from ‘Good Words’ and other Magazines.” There is no list of contents, but the titles of the tales are as follows:
Lotta Schmidt.
The Adventures of Fred Pickering.
The Two Generals.
Father Giles of Ballymoy.
Malachi’s Cove.
The Widow’s Mite.
The Last Austrian who left Venice.
Miss Ophelia Gledd.
The Journey to Panama.
Trollope himself appears to have regarded this as the third of the series of Tales of All Countries, though the actual title had been abandoned. The stories reflect in some degree his own adventures, and for the three books he received a total of £1830. An edition, dated 1870, contains slight bibliographical variations.

Begun in 1865, and published anonymously in Blackwood’s Magazine in 1866, the authorship was discovered by Hutton of the Spectator from the repetition of some special phrase peculiar to Trollope. The total sum received for this book was £450.
