Note:
Published as a book for the 1864 Christmas gift season, with 1865 date, in two editions distinguished by cover color (dark blue, red) and illustrations (black-and-white, hand-coloured).
Archive.org (above) provides a copy of the black-and-white 1st ed. See publication records of the 1864 eds. for links to more convenient online copies of both.
The Examiner 1864-12-17 p807, "Gift-Books for the Young", notes this work both as contents of Routledge's Every Boy's Annual and as published alone: "Of the books which represent boy-heroes achieving miraculous adventures in all corners of the globe, we are glad to see that Mr Bennett's jest of the young Munchausen is this year the chief and almost only representation."
