Notes:
OCLC: 551656 -- "[i]-vi pages, 1 leaf, [9]-176 pages, [1]-8 pages, 1 leaf : illustrations ; 15.8 cm" LCCN: 86-176658 and OCLC: 17190514 -- "176, 8 pages : illustrations ; 17 cm" Neither record identifies the illustrator; in a recent record that would imply self-illustrated by the writer, but Ker seems unlikely; illustrations in the 1885 serial publication are signed "Thulstrup" (Thure de Thulstrup)

Publ date, series, price from The Critic 1886-09-11 (Vol VI, No 141; or v6 n9) viewed at Google Books, p[1] full-page notice "Harper & Brothers, New York, Have Just Published", this item with list of 24 in the series "Square 16mo, ornamental cloth, $1.00 per volume" (postpaid)

LCCN: 12-36077 That ID number implies the record was created in 1912 but it states "New York, Harper & brothers, 1996" which implies creation after 1996. It also gives the following description which may help interpret the conflicting data in library records cited above, as "1996" may be a typographic error for "1886". -- "vi p., 1 l., [9]-176 p. incl. front., plates. 17 cm."
