Les Misérables

D. C. Heath and Company, Boston

Hugo at twenty-seven, after Devéria's lithograph, over the signature — opposite the title page of the American school edition that abridged him into notes, exercises and vocabulary for the classroom.

Adapted from the D. C. Heath and Company edition of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, Boston, abridged and edited by Flora Campbell. Portrait after the 1829 lithograph by Achille Devéria, as credited on the plate. Reproduced from public-domain source material; the edition year and scan repository are still to be recorded.

Paper

All stocks are acid-free. Thickness is given in points — a point is a thousandth of an inch.

A woven texture close to the laid paper these pages were printed on. The lightest of the four, and the one that reads as book rather than card.
