[solved] Richard Carlile or Philanthropos ?

[Ietrio]

There is this book: 'The Character of the Priest'. Project Gutenberg specifies[1] the name of the author is Philanthropos. Which is an obvious pseudonym. And the publisher is Richard Carlile. I can't seem to find any reference of Richard Carlile being the author. However in the database are two entries[2] [3]. It is obvious the same book I might gamble and say it is exactly the PG text published by different individuals because of the public domain status.

How can one combine the editions?

In some cases, a book may be originally published under a pen name, but then later reissued under the author's original name. When this happens, the author listed for any and all editions should be the author name the book was originally published under - so the reissued edition would need its primary author name changed to the originally published pen name, with the additional name added as secondary for all editions with it on the cover. Doing this will allow the various editions to be combined.
