beginning and end. The title-page is printed in italic type, within red borders. There are headlines throughout, the pagination being at the foot of the pages. In addition to the frontispiece, there are eleven illustrations.

Issued in green imitation leather, with the title and ornamental designs on the back in gold, and a gold monogram within a circular border on the front cover, and with cut gilt edges.

The published price was six shillings net.

As will be seen from the imprint, this book was really an American production, and was issued in New York by Charles Scribner's Sons, at the price of one dollar and twenty-five cents. In The Book Buyer, vol. xxv. pp. 229–232 (October 1902), there is an interesting account of a trip taken 'Along the Route of Stevenson's Inland Voyage,' by Mr. James B. Carrington, from whose photographs the illustrations of the volume are taken.
