London: Constable and Company Ltd, 1911. Good.. Pale green cloth, gilt spine. First published in 1907, this is a later impression. 320 pp., four pages of "Works by the Same Author" follows the text. An attractive book plate for the collector Paul Hyde Bonner (1893 - 1968) is tipped onto the front pastedown; Bonner was an American banker, soldier, singer, diplomat, and author. In February 1934, Bonner's collection of first editions was auctioned off by the American Art Association and Anderson Galleries on East 57th Street, New York City. A tiny Parisian bookseller's label is affixed to the rear pastedown. Rubbed at extremities, endsheets toned, else a good and delightful copy without a dust jacket.
