The New York Times, p. 17 ran a notice about the special English edition of Mark Twain’s works:

LITERARY EXODUS FROM LONDON

Publishing Season is Over—New Edition of Mark Twain’s Works.

LONDON, July 1.—The book publishing season is now practically over. No book of importance will be issued for another two months. The successful writers are already preparing for the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Parker start for Carlsbad early in July, and Mr. Samuel L. Clemens (“Mark Twain”) and his family go to Sweden.

Mr. Clemens, while in London, has been much benefited by the treatment of a Swedish doctor, and he is now going to a remote town in Sweden to take the regular Swedish cure.

A limited edition of “Mark Twain’s” writings which Chatto & Windus will publish, consists of twenty-two volumes. They will be specially illustrated and will contain matter not included in any previous collection of his works.
