First issue with "wade" on p.21. This copy with a reward presentation inscription on the back of the front free endpaper, "To Mabel Grimwood, form Miss Hennell, as a reward for increased industry during the last half-year. Cheltenham, Christmas 1871." The book must have been purchased prior to the official 1872 publication date, as the publisher evidently rushed it into shops in time for the 1871 Christmas trade. With bookseller's ticket of John J. Banks, Stationer, Imperial Library, Cheltenham, to top corner of front pastedown; ticket of binder Burn & Co., to lower corner of rear pastedown. Bookplate of Joseph T.P. Sullivan.
