Thirteen were published by Methuen, and one (Dorian Grey) was published by Charles Carrington in Paris
This is one of eighty sets bound in vellum and printed on Japanese vellum, the first collected edition, where the "text is taken in most instances from the last editions issued under the superintendence of the author. In some cases the volumes contain additional matter which had not previously been reprinted, while some of the volumes contain matter here published for the first time. The thirteen volumes bearing Messrs. Methuen's imprint were sold only in sets" (Mason, page 459). Without the much later For Love of the King, issued in 1922
