Abstract: en_US This book is bibliographically almost a perfect match for one I have listed under 1883, published by John B. Alden in New York. Let me list their differences. This book has the same size page, but is almost twice as thick. Not only is the paper quite thick; the illustrations are so poor as to be near indistinct. The frontispiece of The Mastiff and the Cur is printed upside-down and without a page reference. The publisher here is National Library Association in Chicago. This copy has boards, a paper spine, and leather corners, whereas that has an embossed front-cover showing FK. Are the page plates the same for that book and this? Perhaps worn down?
