    Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. London, Wells, Gardner, Darton & Co., 1888/ 1887 (first edition, published in Adelaide). Octavo, xxii, 301, [3] (blank, colophon, blank), 40 (publisher's catalogue) pages plus a Woodburytype portrait frontispiece (120 × 95 mm) and an errata slip after page xiv (not found in the Adelaide edition). Gilt-decorated cloth slightly rubbed; small paper label at the foot of the spine (see below); edges and leaves adjacent to the boards a little foxed; overall, an excellent copy. Pages ix-304 (from the table of contents onwards) are the sheets of the 1887 Adelaide edition. The first eight pages, the cloth colour, lettering and decoration for this London edition differ, and it invariably contains the Woodburytype frontispiece portrait. The Woodburytype is derived from the original albumen paper photograph occasionally (but not invariably) found as the frontispiece in the Adelaide edition. Ferguson 18499 (not noting the last point). Provenance: Sir Henry Parkes (1815-1896), NSW politician and journalist, with a commemorative bookplate on the front pastedown ('This book was one of a Collection associated with the name of Sir Henry Parkes, and housed in the Chief Secretary's Department of New south Wales until 1956'). The inkstamp of the Colonial Secretary's Office is on the verso of the frontispiece and at the end of the author's preface; the inkstamp of the Colonial Secretary's Office Library is on the title-page (and explains the small label on the spine).
