James Wilson`s article on Thackeray was published by the Century Co., New York, as two "papers" in "The Century Magazine" : the first in December 1901; the second in January 1902. The article was also published in the same months in the "Cornhill Magazine".

This group of papers indicates the way that the article was adapted for publication in the "Cornhill Magazine" from the article as set-up for publication in "The Century Magazine".
