  • 1st US ed.
  • Price from listing in publisher advertisement, The Dial: A Semi-monthly 1915-07-15 p43. This one is promoted as "A New Swift"; "You must have noticed [in reviews and notices] ... that here is seen a new satirist of the rank of Dean Swift."
  • July publication is inferred from that item as the earliest advertisement found, and from the lack of review or notice found in daily and weekly publications before mid-July. This book is featured in the monthly North American Review for July, "The Book of the Month" by Lawrence Gilman, p441-45, and a June review in semi-monthly The Dial is reported, p278-??.
  • HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of two copies apparently lacking the original cover, of which that from NYPL must be recommended: -- title page displays long title and credits, with underscore emphasis on two components:   Boon, The Mind of the Race, The Wild Asses of the Devil, and the Last Trump   By Reginald Bliss, With an Ambiguous Introduction by H. G. Wells -- Introduction, p5-7, closes "H. G. WELLS" -- text spans p11-345 -- no back pages There is no frontispiece. The earliest illustration, paging from the front, is a small line drawing on page 36. The illustrator must be Wells, as Reginald Bliss.
