Limited edition, no. 6 of 250 copies, 2 volumes, 8vo, xvi, 219, (1); vi, 474 pp, with 15 photogravure plates and further illustrations in the text, some light spotting, bound in the original gilt titled vellum, marked, t.e.g. Tipped in at the front of the first volume is a leaf inscribed from the Author ".Dear Sir, You will find the ruse you ask for on the next leaf."; and on the other side seven lines of verse, starting "Build the more stately mansion, O my soul.". The note is dated "Jan. 6th 1881" and the verse "January 11th 1882", so unless the author took a year completing this task one of these dates is in error.
