First edition. Publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, the upper and lower boards and spine decorated in beige. The title page illustration, which is replicated on the upper board, is by Aubrey Beardsley. A near very good copy, the binding firm with some rubbing to the spine and extremities. The contents, with a small previous owner's inscription to the front free endpaper and lacking the rear endpaper, are otherwise clean throughout.
Time travel meets social commentary in this then-controversial novel. Part of John Lane's Keynotes series. From the library of Martin Stone.
