London, Longmans, Green & Co., 1899. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Inscribed by the author to the reverse of the endpaper. Collects 20 short stories, quite uncommon. "of some sf interest for its Satirical depictions of a number of imaginary civilizations, some of them Ruritanian, at least one evincing some characteristics of the Lost Race." [SFE, Clute]. A little wear to the boards, but very nice internally. A nice copy. [11354, Hyraxia Books].
