The last 1-1/2 pages alone concern Rasselas. Back cover shows in part: -- "New Introduction" -- "Cover illustration adapted from: Island of Grass, Gulf of Akabah (detail), David Roberts, 1839." -- "Cover design by John Alves." -- price $5.95 -- ISBN-13 over ISBN-10 Display of ISBN-13 suggests this may be later printing.
