BAL 3844. First edition under this title, but previously published in London as The Borderers. Wright I, 745. BAL notes a contemporary edition published in Florence, Italy, but not a French edition. This is a typical French binding, such as used by Galignani on his editions of Cooper. Its appearance on this American edition is curious, indeed.
