Description

One of 15,000 copies priced at six shillings, with a dark blue cloth cover, titled in gilt. After Newnes stopped publishing books in 1906, except for his sixpenny editions, the remaining sheets went to Smith, Elder and Company. The firm reissued the book in 1907 with a new title page and the same covers, though the Smith Elder imprint appeared on the spine.
