A. Petherick & Co., Melbourne, 1891. The Petherick Colonial edition, later variant. Coustillas A5.10b. *First published by Smith, Elder & Co., London, in three volumes in 1887. The Petherick edition consisted of 1,000 copies, which were sent to Australia in quires. 'The publication of a review of this edition in the Australasian for 22 August 1891 suggests that the book became available in Australia in early August at the latest. It would seem that Petherick had his volumes bound in small quantities, using dated endpapers which were an index to the real date of publication of the volume concerned' [Coustillas p. 58]. In some copies, the endpaper advertisements are dated July 1891.
