• Deleted Text: A section from the eleventh chapter of the serial published in New Review was removed from the book.
• Executive Meddling: The author was forced to write and include an extra chapter, entitled "The Grey Man" to lengthen the story. This chapter is generally not included in modern publications of the story.
  • In an even more extreme example, a whole chapter titled "The Golden Age of Science", depicting a cold war in a technologically advanced future (and possibly the beginning of the Eloi-Morlock genesis) was written in in the Great Illustrated Classics version; in a vain attempt to try to bring something...*anything* back from the future, the Time Traveler makes one last stop 200 years ahead of his home time, in a setting that he considered the Golden Age of Science.
• Science Marches On: The Time Traveler witnesses the Sun enter the Red Giant phase in only a few million years.
  • Addressed in Stephen Baxter's officially licensed sequel novel, "The Time Ships", which posits the theory that the Sun going Red Giant billions of years ahead of schedule, was due to accidental tampering done before the Human race devolved into the Eloi and Morlocks.
