In most cases, the texts available online are not derived from the original serial publication, but from the subsequent publication in book form. Often authors edited their texts in between the original serial publication and the volume publication. Generally these edits were minor, but in some cases authors changed their texts significantly between serial publication and volume publication; for example, the ending of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South was substantially changed for the volume publication, with five entirely new chapters being added near the end of the novel. I have not included novels in the project where it is clear that the text I have is significantly different from the original serial text.

In addition, the serial parts were often published with illustrations, which changed the reading experience. Currently none of my texts include these illustrations, although I may consider including illustrations with some texts if a public domain source becomes available.
