189814090Chicago: Charles H. Kerr 1898. Later Printing. 12mo 18cm. Original decorated wrappers; 289923pp. Covers rubbed and acidic text paper tanned as usual; still a complete tightly-bound copy Good. A long-forgotten but once popular Socialist future utopia originally published serially in the Chicago Times. The title page of this copy states "Twenty-Fifth Edition" and given the extraordinary lengths to which the publisher went to promote the book - including a six-page section of endorsements and order blanks for additional copies at rear at ten cents the copy - we don't doubt that Kerr may have sold out 24 previous printings. The catalog at rear also notes that copies were issued in cloth but we have only ever encountered the wrappered issue. The book was cheaply printed and despite the reputed profusion of printings is seldom encountered in good condition. BLEILER Checklist p.18; NEGLEY 10; SARGENT p.56; LEWIS p.1. Charles H.
