FIRST ENGLISH EDITION IN BOOK FORM. Although the English translation of The Count of Monte-Cristo had been printed in numerous publications prior to 1846, the most common (and generally agreed to be the best) translation was printed in ten weekly installments by Chapman & Hall, with this translation following the revised French edition of 1846 and including an additional chapter.
