The novel was originally serialized in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover lettered and decorated in black, edges untrimmed. Housed in a custom green cloth slipcase. Spine slightly darkened, extremities lightly rubbed and bumped, final gathering roughly cut with some loss to upper margin of pp. 447/8, contents clean. A very good copy. Wise, pp. 5-6.
