A fine and clean copy of a fugitive and fragile edition intended for the Christmas market with, following the half-title leaf, a leaf bearing a printed gift label for the donor to complete. Very small and fragile item in extremely thin plain card wrappers and printed dustwrapper, under original tissue dustwrapper. Section missing from the onionskin dustwrapper and separated at hinge between half-title and gift leaf, but still tight in the binding. Wade 23, printed in the same year as the first American edition, both published the year after the London printing.
