Editions
The 1902 Macmillan first edition is bound in green cloth with an imprinted design on the front cover. Approximately the top quarter of the front cover is taken up with two coats of arms, between which is the title of the book. Below these is a picture of the front of a manor house with a stairway and some trees, signed (or labeled) "EWO" in the lower-right corner. Below that is the authors name. The cover type is gold, with some light green elements being used in the coats of arms and the drawing, and a whitish green for the sky in the drawing.
This edition has a flyleaf, a title page (bearing only the title) with the Macmillan logo on the obverse, a frontspiece illustration (one of eight illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy), the full title page, dedication "To My Wife", table of contents, table of illustrations, 367 pages plus the additional illustrations, and four pages of ads at the back for other Macmillan books, priced at $1.50 each.
There is also an early edition by Grosset & Dunlap.

Famous quotes containing the word editions:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
