First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles and decoration to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with minor bumping to the tips of the slightly faded spine. The contents, with toning to the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Four page publisher's catalogue dated Autumn 1915, followed by a 31 page catalogue dated 8/5/15 at the rear. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has several small chips and short closed tears with associated creasing. Handwritten price in ink above the publisher's printed price of 6/- to the spine.
The book is in the first state, with the comma after Street on the title page but no full stop after W.C. A total of 3460 copies of the first state of the domestic issue were printed. (Cagle A19b).
