Price: 4/6?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).

- Price from brief review The Scotsman 1906-06-11 p2 "New Editions" (positive) "... the book is improved in this edition by a new chapter, which throws out interesting suggestions for the formation of a language of space suitable to the novel conceptions expounded in the rest of the book." (That is Appendix II, pp. 248-70.)
- HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of two copies without original cover; that from Boston College with color frontispiece, "Views of the Tessaract" -- half-title verso dates 1st ed. and 2nd ed. -- title page states "by C. Howard Hinton, M.A." -- Preface, p[v]-vi, closes "C. Howard Hinton" -- Contents, vii-viii, lists Chap. I-XIV, Appendix I-II -- text spans p1-270; p270 footer under horizontal line, "Printed by Hazell, Watson & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury."
- Probably the Preface, Chapters I-XIV, and Appendix I may be entirely unchanged from the 1904 first edition (viii+247 pages, as in this edition). The preface does not mention revision or enlargement, nor clearly allude to the matter of Appendix II.
