As well as the neat overprint of “Colonial Library” at foot of title-page and a half title identifying it as such, this issue identified by its robust blue cloth binding with “METHUEN’S COLONIAL LIBRARY” stamp at foot of spine and endpapers covered with advertisements for other books in the series. Appropriately, the lower paste-down has the bookseller’s ticket of “Cole’s Book Arcade” of Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Evidence of an unidentifiable effacement from the title page and facing page.
