• Notes: Project Gutenberg does not identify a source text and the ebook does not contain a title page transcript. Except for its title screen, this ebook matches "A Phantom Lover" as published under the heading "Oke of Okehurst" not far before the midpoint of Project Gutenberg Ebook #9956 (see at ISFDB), an edition of the 1890 collection Hauntings: Fantastic Stories. That ebook also identifies no source and contains no title page transcript or publisher name. The title screens of both ebooks show year 1890. Those two Gutenberg renditions of this story share: • introductory letter "To COUNT PETER BOUTOURLINE ...", closing "Kensington, July 1886." • arabic numeral '1' at the head of the story, '2' at the first chapter break, etc. to '10' at the last chapter break. (In contrast, two 1886 US chapbook editions of A Phantom Lover show the first segment of the story unnumbered and roman numeral 'I' or 'Chapter I' at the first chapter break, etc. to 'IX' or 'Chapter IX' at the last chapter break. Such detail is unknown for the 1886 UK William Blackwood edition.) Contributor credits and release/posting histories of the two ebooks indicate a complicated relationship if any.
