Notes:
- 1st ed. as a book --simultaneous with US and UK eds. from Longmans, and other eds. (pirate?)
- Harper published the story in its July–August serial (viewed at HathiTrust; see the novel record): • text entirely re-set (evidently from the page count) • magazine illustrations reproduced as plates
- Library of Congress (LCCN, below) reports "157 p., [10] leaves of plates : ill. ; 19 cm." Those must be plates of the 10 illustrations by Thulstrup for the serial edition of the story in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, whose conclusion was published only a week or two earlier, in the August issue. See the novel record.
- Publication date is that of a notice in the present tense (earliest notice of book publication found), the first item in "Literary Notices", Hartford Courant 1888-07-31 p2: "Harper & Brothers and Longmans, Green & Co. of New York each publish Rider Haggard's Maiwa's Revenge in paper cover. It has been printed in Harper's Monthly. ... (Price 25 cents; for sale by Brown & Gross.)"
