Explanatory notes

  1. ^ The title appears differently in this issue's sɔmɛːr (French: sommaire), namely "ə næroʊə trænskripʃn fər ɪŋglɪʃ", and in the tablə matjɛːr (French: table des matières) for 1923, namely "ə næroʊə trænskrɪpʃn fər ɪŋglɪʃ."
  2. ^ This is an extract from The Golden Age by Kenneth Grahame, although the title does not reflect this.
  3. ^ Volume 5 was initially published in three parts with pagination resetting in each installment. Even though "Extract from Jeremy" appears in Volume 5's table of contents, this is sometimes considered to have been published in Volume 7.[2][3]
