Caesar's Column

A first British edition followed in 1891 from Sampson Low, Marston & Co., London, stating "authorised edition" on its title page and bound in brown pebble-grain cloth-backed green boards with gilt stamping and gilt top edge; it postdates the 1890 Chicago first edition by about a year. A separate British printing from Frederick Warne, issued in paper wrappers the same year, appears to be an unauthorized rival edition rather than the true first British issue.
