"The king of the Golden River was written in 1841, at the request of a young lady, and solely for her amusement, without any idea of publication. It has since remained in the possession of a friend, to whose suggestion, and the passive assent of the author, the publishers are indebted for the opportunity of printing it. The illustrations, by Mr. Richard Doyle, will, it is hoped, be found to embody the author's ideas with characteristic spirit."--Page [6] at beginning.
Written in 1841 and first published in 1851. This is a reprint of the 6th edition of Smith, Elder, who published the 1851 first edition. Title page has M. DCCC. LXVII [1867].
