One volume, The Picture of Dorian Gray, though entirely uniform with the others, was published by Charles Carrington (Paris). "The text is taken in most instances from the last editions issued under the superintendence of the author. In some cases the volumes contain additional matter which had not previously been reprinted, while some of the volumes contain matter here published for the first time." (Mason, p. 459). Without the seldomly found 15th volume, For the Love of the King.
