Description

8vo., Second Impression thus, bookplate scar on front paste-down; original blue cloth, upper board blocked in gilt and blind, gilt back, uncut, black endpapers, backstrip very lightly sunned else a remarkably well-preserved bright, clean copy. With 6pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end, and a small printed portrait of the author mounted on front free endpaper verso. For the first Macmillan edition of the previous year the text was revised and two stories - 'Of Those Called' and 'The Wreck of the Visigoth' - added. To Soldiers Three. In this second impression these two tales were omitted and a new story - 'L'Envoi' - added to The Story of the Gadsbys. Scarce, especially in this condition.
