A

square copy with secure textblock, gilt covers still

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!”
