London and New York: Harper and Brothers, 1899. 8vo, red cloth. Inscribed by Wells with a drawing of Vyvyan Holland being roused from his bed, along with a poem parodying Wordsworth: "Life is real & Life is earnest / Collecting paperweights is not its goal / Bric a brac thou art & to Bric a brac returnest / Was not spoken to the soul." Spine lightly faded; otherwise a fine copy.
