Second English issue, apparently from the American sheets, but without printer’s imprint, with printed label on front pastedown: “This book is now published by John Lane at the Bodley Head in Vigo St. London W.“ The preliminaries have been reprinted especially for this issue, yielding an integral title-page. Apparently the last title to bear the Mathews and Lane imprint, though it is not clear whether they actually published it before the dissolution of their partnership.
