Huebsch, 1916.] Proof sheets of the half-title, list of books 'By the Same Writer' and title [i.e.pp.[i]-[iii]], printed on rectos only, 3 ll. (251 x 180mm). (Very lightly browned, a few small marks, a few short, skilfully-repaired marginal tears.) Later cloth case, gilt morocco lettering-piece. Provenance : George Robert Minkoff, Inc.
