  • Notes:
    • 1st US edition, 1st printing Unillustrated
    • HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of this edition in several copies, including at least one Harvard U copy of the 1st printing with original cover: -- front cover gold-stamped lettering and small circular line drawing on very dark cloth -- title leaf: MDCCCCII; verso "Published, November, 1902" -- text spans p1-349, no back pages
    • Cover art credit is from the Whole Science Fiction Data Base No. 3, or a dealer at ABEbooks, or both. It must be doubted because the reported page count vii+296 is a gross mismatch. And because Scribner's published a 1912 edition with page count vii+286 and three interior illustrations by Rackham, which is mis-catalogued as 1902 at HathiTrust Digital Library (1912 title page).
