First edition in English. Number 14 of Unwin's "Pseudonym Library" series.

Morgan, A Critical Bibliography of German Literature in English Translation, p. 124 (noting this translation as above average in quality). Scattered foxing to text block early and late, some tanning and dust soiling to wrappers, a very good copy. (#115754).
