No Love Lost: A Romance of Travel
Does anyone know if "No Love Lost: A Romance of Travel" was ever published as "No Love Lost: A Story of Venice." I ask because a presentation copy that was issued in September 1869 three months before book publication has a dust jacket that used the sub-title "A Story of Venice." As far as I know, all copies of the book had "A Romance of Travel" on the title page. I also see that it was published in Putnam's Magazine in December 1868 with the "Romance of Travel" sub-title, so I wonder where the "Story of Venice" sub-title came from. Perhaps that was just an early idea for the title that never appeared anywhere in print except inadvertently on this dust jacket?
Thank you,
