Macmillan & Co, London, 1874. Hardcover. Edward Burne - Jones (illustrator). Second Edition. London : Macmillan and Co. 1874. Second Edition. xvi, 247 ; 19 cm. In the original red cloth boards, decorated in black and gilt, with illustrations derived from Burne-Jones' frontispiece and title. A very uncommon edition, which actually appears to be scarcer than the first edition, and is certainly in a more attractive binding.
