Small octavo, pp. [1-4] [1] 2-192 + 4 leaves of inserted ads at rear, original scarlet cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black, spine panel stamped in black and gold, yellow coated endpapers. First edition, first issue? Issued in both paper wrappers and in cloth (as here) as the sixth book of Arrowsmith's "Bristol Library." As per Turner, the preliminaries are arranged as follows: [i] title; [ii] quotation from Massinger; [iii] contents; [iv] advertisement for Conway's CALLED BACK. Turner, and other bibliographers, note four leaves of ads at rear, and Sadleir records one copy with only two leaves; this copy has four, comprising two conjugate leaves followed by two singletons. As per Locke, the ads in this copy for the six books in Arrowsmith's "Bristol Library" note "20th Thousand" for this title, which perhaps indicates that this is a later printing. A bibliographically complex book; the jury is still out. Anstey's most successful book, the story of the statue of a Greek goddess that comes to life. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 2-7.
