Summary
[Bibliographical Note.—Of this work there has hitherto been only one edition. It was issued in nine Parts, the title-page for the completed work (issued with Part IX.) being as here given (p. 339). Each Part was furnished with a separate title-page; that for Part I. was precisely similar to the general one, except for the date “1886” instead of “1888”; the other title-pages had the number of the Part below the author's description.
Each Part was issued in pale buff-coloured paper wrappers, with the title-page (enclosed in a double-ruled frame) repeated upon the front, with the addition of the rose-device. The Parts were published at the price of One Shilling each; and of each 1000 copies were printed.
The Parts were issued, octavo, on the following dates and with the following contents:—
Part I. (July 1886).—This contained title-page (with imprint at foot of the reverse—”Printed by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury”), pp. i., ii. Preface, pp. iii.–vii.; p. viii., blank. “Part I. Chapters i.–iv.,” “Part II. Chapter i.,” and the beginning of “Chapter ii.,” pp. 1–48.
Part II. (July 1886).—Title-page and imprint, as before. Remainder of Chapter ii., Chapters iii. and iv., and part of Chapter v., pp. 49–96.
Part III. (September 1886).—Title-page and imprint as before. Remainder of Chapter v., Chapters vi. and vii., pp. 97–142.
