Notes
-
Many of the chapters in The Poor Parson initially appeared as individual stories in Steele Rudd's Magazine in 1906-1907. For the book, some of the stories were divided into two and sometimes three chapters, chapter titles were added, and a number of (usually) minor changes were made to the text. So there is not always a straightforward match up between the stories as they first appeared in Steele Rudd's Magazine and the later book chapters....

Chapter 21 appeared in Rowlandson's Success (1907).

Part Two reprinted as Duncan McClure
