Early in the Everyman's Library series, longer works
(such as The Wealth of Nations and Amelia)
were split into two volumes. According to Bill
Hornick, all early EMLs were of uniform height and
width. Whether the book was two hundred pages or
four hundred pages, the uniform width was accomplished
by adjusting the thickness of the paper or by splitting
the book into two volumes or more.
Later during the series, some of the two volume sets
were combined into a single volume. Listed below
are the known titles which were consolidated into one
volume from two. In all cases except one (Eliot's
Daniel Deronda) the consolidated volume used
the serial number of the first volume. This list does not
include the case where two different titles were later
combined into one volume (e.g.
Austen's Northanger
Abbey and Persuasion). It also does
not include four titles that, according to Terry Seymour,
were two volume sets available concurrently as a single volume in the
library binding and/or a special
leatherette binding (Dictionary of Quotations, Duruy's Short History of France, Green's
Short History of the English People, and Roget's
Thesaurus).
