VOLUME 4:
January 21, 1889 -- April 7, 1889
University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 1953
First edition (U.S. & U.K.). Edited by Sculley Bradley. This volume was issued with a dual imprint on the title page: "University of Pennsylvania Press" and "Oxford University Press". The designers of this volume chose to depart from the traditional typographic style of the three earlier volumes and to abandon the gold-blocked, intertwined leaves on the spine in favor of a more utilitarian library binding.Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale, 1959
Re-issue of the original sheets from item [4], with reset title and copyright pages, and with the original 'intertwined leaf' style of binding. In order to return to the standard of having tipped-in frontispieces, Southern Illinois inset a specially printed frontispiece leaf and tipped onto it a reduced and trimmed reprint of the previously full-page size plate. The Oxford University Press imprint does not appear on the title page.
VOLUME 5:
April 8, 1889 -- September 14, 1889
Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale, 1964
First edition. Edited by Gertude Traubel, Horace's daughter. Here, Southern Illinois restored the style of the first volumes by tipping-in the frontispiece plate and by setting the text in a close approximation of the earlier page layouts, using Scotch Roman.
VOLUME 6:
September 15, 1889 -- July 6, 1890
Southern Illinois University Press, Carbondale, 1982
First edition. Edited by Gertrude Traubel and William White. The bright green dustjacket, which covers the gold intertwined leaves on the spine, makes this volume easy to spot on a bookseller's shelves.
