The book was issued in both blue cloth and printed wrappers as here; the wraps issue is by far the scarcer. ¶ Doyle's psychic vampire novella, published by the same firm who issued DRACULA in 1897.

The statement "New and Revised Edition" simply refers to the fact that the story is excised from this edition.

DOYLE, Arthur Conan. BEYOND THE CITY.
Chicago & New York: F. Tennyson Neely, Publisher. No date [1893]. First American Edition Hardcover Very Good
Possibly the first American edition, but priority has never been identified. Octavo, rebound in contemporary diced red cloth, titled in gilt on spine. This certainly is the Neely Popular Library edition, issued in wrappers in late 1893, here rebound (in Liverpool, strangely enough, according to the binder's ticket). The book was issued just before the new Copyright Act came into effect, and Munro, Neely, Lupon, Ogilvie, McNally and Weeks all issued unauthorized editions at the end of 1893 or shortly thereafter. No American edition has clear priority. Paper browning, otherwise a very nice copy.

“New Edition”, i.e., sheets of the first edition (Newnes, 1905), reissued under the Smith, elder imprint. Newnes withdrew from book publishing in 1906, retaining only the sixpenny editions. Green & Gibson note that the residue of the sheets for THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES were transferred to Smith, Elder and Co, who issued 3,356 copies with a new title page, dated 1907, same covers, imprint altered on the spine. This appears to be the same sheets, with a new title page dated 1908 (no mention in G & G). Red cloth, gilt. Neatly rebacked, original cloth laid down, new endpapers; very good.
