HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of one copy, evidently library bound as containing the original paper covers.
-- front cover (outside)
Library records and other secondary sources report page count 315, perhaps universally. The closing poem "Juliet" begins on that page, and continues on numbered pages 316-20. "New and Standard Fiction Published by D. Appleton & Co." is printed on the next 8 unnumbered pages [321-28]. Publisher advertisements continue, p[329-30], which show the original paper back cover leaf--inferred from the radical change in layout, and the fact that the first two non-blank interior pages certainly show the original paper front cover leaf (outside designed to promote the contents, publisher advertisements inside). --viewed as HathiTrust images seq=321 to 336
