This is correct. The 1897 publication contained Berry's Lexicon and
Synonym studies, but the base text and apparatus of editor's preferences
was produced by Bagster publishers (which, as was their practice in the
19th century sweatshops, did _not_ give credit to the particular editor or
compiler of those data, so Bagster is certainly _not_ the "author", but
he or she is totally unknown; for all we know Berry might actually have
been the author).  In any case, all reprints currently made have the Berry
material, and for convenience' sake I and others tend to refer to it as
the Berry Interlinear, without implying authorship of that portion.
