In the introduction of the book, it refers to the 7th printing as being previously published, so this book is assumed published soon thereafter.

Book states: " It only remains to be added that in this edition we have been fortunate enough to be able to include the whole of the illustrations, both of the original edition and of the "Sequel," and that we believe it to be more complete, in every way, than any which has preceded it."

Fully illustrated Red cloth covers and spine. Deeply embossed in red, black and gold. 

CONDITION: EXCELLENT. Covers have some bumping at the edges and spine. Address label & retail price pencil marks on front endpapers. Clean inside. Firm binding, webbing starting.
