- HathiTrust Digital Library (catalog record) provides full view of two copies (3 vols each) with apparently identical interiors. The front covers (3 each) are radically different and those from U California look certainly original. Contents (numbered pages 8, 5, 5) list chapters I-XIII, XIV-XXVI, XXVII-XL. Text spans pp. 9-288, 7-301, 7-[299]. Volume III alone contains back material, publisher advertisements p[301-04]. This publication is not listed.
- Publication date from notice in The Athenaeum #3372 (Saturday 1892-06-11) p774: Messrs. "announce that on Monday next they will publish ...". The Scotsman Monday 1892-06-13 lists it among "new books that came out last week".
- Price from listing in "Publications of the Week", The Spectator -06-11 p819, as "3vols, cr 8vo 31/6". That is 10/6 each volume.
