To read James Malcolm Rymer's A Mystery in Scarlet in its original publication context, accompanied by other contents of The London Miscellany no. 1-18 (1866), please see the bound copy of that periodical in the collection of the Wells Library, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana. This copy lacks the series of four promotional color prints titled Rich and Poor and accompanying the serial of that name; these prints are accessible elsewhere in this COVE edition.
