- Notes:
- Price and publication month from A Bibliography of the Works of Robert Louis Stevenson by Colonel W. F. Prideaux, C.S.I. The day of publication is estimated based on the date of the paperback version and the oft-repeated statement that the hc came out "about a week after" that edition. (This also puts the ordering correctly in our listings.) The price seems suspect, since that would mean that the hc and tp editions were both sold at the same price.
- Salmon-colored cloth with black letters and Longmans' insignia in top left corner. The cloth-bound edition came out about a week after the wrapper-bound edition. 1 page ad at the back for the second edition of "A Child's Garden of Verses." (PBA Galleries)
