London: Tinsley, 1884. First edition.. cat40a. Original blue-green pictorial cloth, front cover designed in black, spine lettered in gilt. Yellow end papers. 328pp. + 32pp. publisher's catalogue at the rear.

A peculiar mixture of tales, framed by a city man's visit to the countryside of England, includes some fantastic parts including odd inventions , an attack by an organized army of apes, a sea monster, and a science fiction episode purporting to be from "The Times for 1983". A scarce book.
