Strand, London, 1893. First thus. Hardcover. Good. This scarce original edition is offered despite some significant flaws. Six complete original issues bound without covers and advertisements. Quarto, 9 1/2" tall, 724 pages, rebound in blue-green cloth. A good, generally clean, sturdy, hardcover copy overall with moderate exterior shelf wear and rubbing at the corners, foxing and soiling to the cover cloth and fore-edges, front hinge cracked but secure, with several early pages loosened and light foxing to the endpapers and scattered throughout. It was the common practice for monthly periodicals at this time to issue bound volumes of the previous six issues, printed from the original plates, before melting the plates down for recasting.
