**ed: I am making an assumption here that this is a Colonial Edition. These editions are meant for sale outside of Great Britain, in the colonies (Canada, etc). Sampson Low AND other publishers many times say "Colonial Edition" on spine or title page. This book, and others (Archipelago on Fire, Tigers and Traitors ... ) do NOT say that.
