Notes:

The back panel of the wraps includes and ad for "JURGEN, by James Branch Cabell, with an introduction by Ben Ray Redman". In fact, this introduction is not present in this edition, which was printed from plates of one of the first three McBride printings, before the corrections were made on pages 17 ("or" corrected to "of"), 51 ("will" to "shall"), and 67 ("langorously" to "langourously").
