THE SMITH ADMINISTRATION | BY | RUD. YARD KIPLING. | A. H. Wheeler & Co., | Allahabad. | 1891 | [All Rights Reserved] Extra Crown 8vo., pp ii, unnumbered, and 92. Bound in brown cloth boards, lettered in gold, top right-hand corner, "Smith Administration | Kipling." On right-hand page of first end-paper appears, in the writing of E. W. Buckeley:

"Of this book an edition of 3000 copies were printed and bound ready for sale for Messrs. Wheeler & Co.. Allahabad, but owing to a difference of opinion as to copyrights between Rudyard Kipling and the Proprietors of the "Pioneer" and "Civil and Military Gazette" (in which journals the stories first appeared) the complete edition was cancelled and destroyed with the exception of three copies.

The foregoing, I have been able to gather, is correct, save that instead of 3000 copies, three only were printed and bound for the purpose of obtaining orders, and eventually the type was distributed without any further impressions being taken. bave received indisputable information upon this matter, the correctness of which is borne out by the fact that no numbers appear against the various stories in the list of " contents," although the spaces are there, headed with the word "page."
