    • Price from brief review The Scotsman 1906-06-11 p2 "New Editions" (positive) "... the book is improved in this edition by a new chapter, which throws out interesting suggestions for the formation of a language of space suitable to the novel conceptions expounded in the rest of the book." (That is Appendix II, pp. 248-70.)
    • HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of two copies without original cover; that from Boston College with color frontispiece, "Views of the Tessaract" -- half-title verso dates 1st ed. and 2nd ed. -- title page states "by C. Howard Hinton, M.A." -- Preface, p[v]-vi, closes "C. Howard Hinton" -- Contents, vii-viii, lists Chap. I-XIV, Appendix I-II -- text spans p1-270; p270 footer under horizontal line, "Printed by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury."
    • Probably the Preface, Chapters I-XIV, and Appendix I may be entirely unchanged from the 1904 first edition (viii+247 pages, as in this edition). The preface does not mention revision or enlargement, nor clearly allude to the matter of Appendix II.
