Florenty Fyodorovich Pavlenkov, the real-life publisher previously seen in this corpus pressing Chekhov for medical corrections to his \"Russian Calendar\" almanac; his contribution here includes a large run of Dickens novels and volumes from his well-known \"Lives of Remarkable People\" biographical series (\S76-\S93, including Darwin, Dante, Lincoln, Victor Hugo, Galileo, and others), a series that was a real and celebrated feature of Pavlenkov's publishing career.
