Price: 1/6?Prior to decimilisation (1968-1971), UK books were priced in shillings, or shillings and pence, where 20 shillings equals one pound and 12 old pence equals one shilling. Shillings were indicated with a variety of suffixes, e.g. 3s, 3', 3", 3/ all mean 3 shillings. Any number after that is additional pence, usually 6 (half a shilling) but sometimes 3 or 9 (a quarter of a shilling or three-quarters of a shilling).

Notes:
- Pirated edition, of the 1831 Colburn and Bentley edition (the introduction is signed and dated by Shelley as 1831). As by "Mrs. Shelley". Size approximately 175 x 112mm.
- The book itself is undated. WorldCat OCLC 473543306 gives the 1846 date from the British Book Trade Index. OCLC 70613330 incorrectly gives the date as 1831, based on the date of Shelley's introduction (which is also pirated).
- Data from Brian P. Martin Antiquarian Books (UK) and from WorldCat, including the records above and OCLC 437310384.
- Price show is for the cloth bound blind patterned front and back, with gilt decoration and title on spine. A soft bound version was available for 1/-.
- A later printing of this edition, dated between 1853 and 1858, appears to be documented by OCLC 60336450.
