A Note on Editions:

Some of the titles listed here are not first editions. For all such novels, you should determine the year in which the novel first appeared (the National Union Catalogue can help you here), and you should begin looking for reviews in periodicals published during that year, using that "first edition" as the basis for your collection of reviews. For novels that went through more than one edition, you may find it useful to check to see whether subsequent editions were ever reviewed and – if they were – to consider why they received this additional notice.
