I have hunted down the 1847 first edition and mean to add Charlotte's "Notice" and also her "Preface" to the first edition text (hope that doesn't seem too much like blasphemy to purists).
Interestingly enough, the first edition used double-quotation marks (makes me happy! -- poor vision, single quotes more difficult to see)
Will have to see how it goes...

Thanks GrannyGrump. Your efforts are much appreciated.
I've just finished reading a fictionalised novel about the Brontes - The Misses Bronte's Establishment, Amy Wolf. For anyone interested, this is fairly true to the facts but plays fast and loose with two of the Bronte family's fates. Also, the school which the sisters tried to establish does have one pupil: the first person narrator, which of course wasn't actually the case. It's a flawed but light, fun read.
