Copyright 1874 by Dodd & Mead. According to J.W. Tebbel's History of book publishing in the United States, Dodd & Mead became Dodd, Mead & Co. in 1876.
Publisher's illustrated gray cloth binding, stamped in black and orange, gilt on spine.
Wood-engraved illustrations variously engraved by Francis Scott King, Frederick Juengling, Charles A. LaPlante, John Karst, "D.N." (i.e., David Nichols?), and "Harley," after designs by William Ludwell Sheppard, "A.M." (i.e., A. Mesnel?), Mary Hallock Foote, and Frank Beard. Two illustrations are not signed and are presumably the work of Sol Eytinge. Cf. Sinclair Hamilton's description of the first edition of this work in American book illustrators, 1968 (no. 1208).
