HDL (catalog record) provides full view of 3 copies with original cover apparently[*]:
-- title page: credits illustrator by fullname, publisher as "R. H. Russell & Son"
-- frontispiece b/w, clearly different medium, clearly signed "A. Barker Stephens"
-- text spans p[9]-236
[*] None of 3 copies available 2017-01-03 indicates that it is a later printing. The apparently original cloth covers differ, one red (from U California, recommended) and two blue. Their small cover illustrations are identical (gold stamped?) and match that at the head of chapter one, p[9].
OCLC 913324733 describes a red cloth cover.
