{{Tr|an anonymous hand}}. This translation begins: "And so, Mr. Maston, you consider that a woman can do nothing for the advance of the mathematical or experimental sciences?"


WorldCat (OCLC 266960935) reports: -- "Publisher's catalogue on p. 1-32 at the end." -- "viii, 182, 32 pages, 32 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 19 cm" {{OCLC|870087887}} reports one "New ed" with "Low, Marston, 1893" as viii+182 pages --presumably a reprint from the successor publisher {{publisher|Sampson Low, Marston & Company}}.

Probably the text is that of the undated Sampson Low, Marston & Company edition with iv+143 pages, which is known from its Project Gutenberg transcription. The Gutenberg ebook (viewed in HTML format) contains 3 illustrations, which may be among the numerous illustrations of this edition.
