Boston: D. Lothrop and Co., 1884. Thick small quarto. Pictorial mustard cloth, decorated in gilt, black and brown. Frontis, plates and illustrations. Possible reprint, with frequent instances of battering of the printing plates. Contributors (though largely in reprint) include Celia Thaxter, Mary Wilkins, Palmer Cox, et al.
