Notes:

This is the only Bramah issue I've found that Mike B missed in his bibliography! It's a remainder issue of the first printing with cancel half title and title page.I haven't found a lot of information about Alexander Moring and The De La More Press, They seem to have concentrated on church publications and reprints of Shakespeare, Chaucer, etc. This edition is part of their Hanover Library of Fiction, which seems to be all remainders. This issue is undated, but I would place it as post 1905. The list of titles date to 1904 or earlier. I have found one Moring catalog dated to 1905, and it does not include Wallet.
