First edition in book form, first impression, scarce advance copy, with the publisher's blind stamp on the title page. This advance copy shares all the required points for the first issue: the misprint "anyrate" on page 77, line 5; the omission of "keep" after "can" on page 226, line 27; the misprint "cure" (instead of "cured") on the same line; and "his" on page 319, last line, printed slightly dropped below the line. The novel was originally serialized in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900. Octavo. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover lettered and decorated in black, edges untrimmed. Housed in a custom green cloth slipcase. Spine slightly darkened, extremities lightly rubbed and bumped, final gathering roughly cut with some loss to upper margin of pp. 447/8, contents clean. A very good copy. Wise, pp. 5-6.
