Here is the Altemus Edition of this title which was published for the Pilgrim Publishing Company. This book appears to be a salesman’s sample since the red cover is pasted onto a blank cloth cover and it only contains some of the 266 pages of the original book.
The advertisement in the back notes the regular price and the price to subscribers. Unfortunately no other evidence regarding this as a salesman’s sample is present.
Based on the copyright page, this volume is an early Format 2 edition and was published in the early 1890’s.

This is the second copy of this title that I have now seen that Altemus published for another company. (See: http://www.henryaltemus.com/publications/HACMisc.htm)
