1910ⓘ "Revised text [of WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES] (comprising mostly deletion of about 6000 words) and new introduction". [Currey] 'The short story "A Story of the Days To Come" (1897) is a forerunner of the novel, being a tale set within the same future society.' --Wikipedia, which covers Wells's dissatisfaction with the 1899 version See also the parent novel.

1899ⓘ Published in the first 1899 issue of both The Graphic (London), pp. 9-11, and Harper's Weekly (New York), pp. 11-14. Bleiler twice reports The Graphic serial dates January 9 to May 6, but the former was a Monday. The first 18 Saturdays of 1899 were -01-07 to -05-06. As published in Harper's Weekly there is one illustration each week, reproduced as a headpiece, for instance vol. 43, p. 11 (viewed at HathiTrust). (There the distinctive signature "H. Lanos" is not visible, and the visible signature looks like "? Marsh??".)

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).
