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: WorldCat (OCLC 266960935) reports: -- "Publisher's catalogue on p. 1-32 at the end." -- "viii, 182, 32 pages, 32 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 19 cm" OCLC 870087887 reports one "New ed" with "Low, Marston, 1893" as viii+182 pages --presumably a reprint from the successor publisher Sampson Low, Marston & Company. Probably the text is that of the undated Sampson Low, Marston & Company edition with iv+143 pages, which is known from its Project Gutenberg transcription. The Gutenberg ebook (viewed in HTML format) contains 3 illustrations, which may be among the numerous illustrations of this edition.
