Boston: Brown And Company, 1899. New edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 16mo, 137 pages, blue cloth with art nouveau cover, bright, unread; x-library with book pocket. Scarce. This edition has a new Introduction by the unknown "G.P.T.". These collected essays are from Kipling's first visit to America, in 1891. This allegedly unauthorized edition retains many passages and a letter which were suppressed in the versions that appeared in FROM SEA TO SEA, 1899. "These 'Notes' aroused much protest and severe criticism when they appeared in 1891 ... they have been nearly suppressed and are rarely found in a list of his writings. Their very caustic style is of interest to a student and lover of Kipling, and for this reason the publishers believe them worthy of a good binding - Introduction." Illustrated by William Nicholson with a frontispiece portrait of young Kipling. [ Livingston77, note].
