London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1886. First. Softcover . Used - very good/No Jacket. Octavo, original buff wrappers printed in red and blue. The '5' in 1885 on the cover copyright date has been changed by the publisher to '6' as the publisher held back its issue for the new year due to the glut of books being offered during the 1885 holiday season. One page of publisherâ€™s advertisements at rear, with chip to top corner. Stationerâ€™s embossed stamps to rear wrapper: â€œW.H. Smith & Son, London.â€ Housed in a custom clamshell box. This issue in wrappers preceded the copies bound in cloth. Joints mended, wrappers lightly foxed and smudged, corner bumped, slightly musty. Overall a very good copy of a fragile book.
