624 pp. With more than 300 illustrations. Original brown cloth decorated in black with gilt pictorial vignettes, lettered in gilt on spine. First American Edition. An intermediary state which retains the tail-piece on p. 441 as described, but with the corrected caption 'St. Charles Hotel' on p. 443. At the request of Mrs. Clemens, the original tailpiece was removed in later issues as she felt it too morbid. Reference: BAL 3411.
