Although this book states it is published in the United States, it is printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow in East London, and is almost identical to the English edition published by Chapman & Hall in the same year. However, the equivalent Chapman & Hall edition was bound in quarter vellum on handmade paper and limited to 100 copies.

All of the editions illustrated by Daglish are now extremely scarce.
