[10], 309 pp. Color frontispiece by Clarence F. Underwood, with tissue-guard. (8vo) light brown cloth lettered in brown. First Edition, first printing, first state.

Author’s classic work. The dot following the “o” in “Co” on spine imprint appears to touch. The right side of the “o” has been rubbed with slight color loss over time, however it does appear to be close enough to be in the first issue state. Also, the last text leaf tipped on to rear flyleaf (not integral to rest of text); and with “chince-bugs” on line 8, p. 60. One of 2000 copies printed. Crane A6.a.i.
