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].
