Comparative Chart by Category: Ellipsis
However, the First British Edition of Summer uses three spaced dots for all ellipses––the ones that occur within the sentence and the ones that occur at the end of the sentence, except only one instance where the FBE uses four dots similar to the FAE (see the chart below). It is not sure if it was a printing mistake or intentional since this is the only instance where it happens. From the rest of the examples of ellipsis in the FBE, we can assume that this difference is either a result of the difference between the writing conventions in American and British publishing industries or of Macmillan's adherence to the MSS. Similar difference in the style of ellipsis is noticeable in the First American Edition of Wharton’s House of Mirth by Scriber’s and the First British Edition of Wharton’s House of Mirth by Macmillan.
