bright. Scribner, Armstrong published the three
parts of this title as separate books in 1875; a
year later they issued this combined volume.
“Possibly released simultaneously with the third
book of this island trilogy ‘The Secret of the
Island’ to encourage purchases of customers who
may have missed purchasing the first and/or
second part. In any event, a very rare edition!”
