New York: Charles Scribner & Co, 1867. Very good (some light edgewear and at spine; some foxing on the last couple of pages where the publisher's list of coming books is but no foxing on the text. The first owner's name is written in ink on the second free end paper, simply, "Ella. Dec 3rd 1867." The book is very clean and tight with bright gilding on all page edges.

St Louis: Timeless Press, 1990. Originally published in 1983, here is the first printing of the revised edition. Very good (insect damage to top and bottom edges of covers, otherwise fine) in fine dust jacket (small price sticker presumably covers the original price on the inside of the dust jacket).

Hard Cover.
