Notes: The first edition has not been seen but it is presumed to be the same size and format as the 3rd impression, described above. This is slighlty larger than the 5th edition (207 x 152 mm), the jacket of which is illustrated above. The third impression has a frontispice by Blampied, which is the same illustration that appears on the jacket. The 5th impression has no frontispiece although it is listed on the Contents page, and the text on the spine is orange. The 5th edition has only 8 photographs compared with 24 photographs in the 3rd impression. A second edition was published in 1933 by Philip Allan.
