  HathiTrust Digital Library (HDL) provides full view of one e-copy, from a bound book at the Library of the University of Minnesota (UML).
  • Apparently a stained copy of the title page is pasted on the front cover.
  • Title page displays "Price One Shilling" as well as the full book title, full author name, and full publisher name that are entered here (except " Ltd"). (The British Library (BL, below) abbreviates all three and WorldCat library records (OCLC) are variously incomplete.)
  • The next image (HDL image 10) displays a print obituary "Mr. James Platt, Jun.", perhaps dated by hand "10 Feb 10". The next image is the printed Contents list. Image 10 probably shows a clipping pasted on the back side of the title page in the UML book.
  • The only printed back page, p[174] identifies the printer.
