Author: H. G. Wells
Year: 1896
Publisher: Methuen
Pages: 275
Binding: Hardcover
Type: Collection
Title Reference: The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents
Notes:
• No statement of printing on copyright page • At least second printing, has 40-page publisher's catalogue inserted at rear dated March 1896 (Those two points may be from Currey. --May 2020)

WorldCat record OCLC 28923293 reports both 40 back pages of advertisements and (new data May 2020) series Methuen Colonial Library, presumably not for sale in the United Kingdom. So this may not be any printing of the 1895 edition, but a new edition; although printed pages between the title leaf and the advertisements are probably identical.

HathiTrust Digital Library provides interior view of a copy of some 275-page ed./printing: title page missing; no catalogue nor other back matter. That e-copy is the source for story titles and page numbers below, and for more information (see).
