Magazine: [8] + 80pp. In blue printed illustrated wraps. Internally in good condition, on aged paper, with unopened signatures, in worn and chipped wraps. Stamped in red at head of front cover: 'SPECIMEN COPY.' Announcement at foot of front cover: 'This magazine is not to be introduced into England or its colonies nor into the United States of America.' The first eight pages carry advertisments, as do both sides of the back wrap. The presence of the wraps is particularly notable, as the inside front cover carries a message from Bernard Tauchnitz, dated 'LEIPZIG, August 1st, 1891.', and beginning: 'We believe that by this new enterprise we shall satisfy a want long felt by all readers of English and American literature on the Continent, and especially by English and American tourists. The chief aim of our new venture will be the publication of good, new, short stories, which will be given complete in each number, an arrangement - hitherto, we believe, untried - which will, it is hoped, meet with general approval.' The contents are: 'The new Assistant at Pine Clearing School. By Bret Harte'; 'A Study in Grey | From the "Cornhill Magazine."'; 'The Blue Rose. By E. Nesbit | From "Longman's Magazine."'; 'My Uncle's Story. By Lady West | From the "English Illustrated Magazine."'; Paganiniana | From the "Cornhill Magazine."'| "The Closing of the Doors." By James Payn | From the "Forum."' | "Table Talk"; and 'The "Papercutter'. The 'Tauchnitz Edition' catalogue is in very good condition, tipped in at the rear, and consists of 16pp, 16mo. Listed are: 'Collections of British Authors'; 'Manuals of Conversation'; 'Collection of German Authors'; 'Series for the Young'; 'Dictionaries'. No copy recorded on WorldCat or COPAC for UK or USA. …

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
