--estimate, separately from both 3-volume and 453-page 1892 editions (viewed at HathiTrust)
British Library and WorldCat records of the 1914 Holden & Hardingham edition, the latter as "Holden & Hardingham's sixpenny novels", report "8o" (octavo) and 22cm respectively; both as 191 pages, which implies 1000 words per page if unabridged. Neither comments on the text or layout.
Synopsis:
"The Island of Fantasy (1892 3vols) is a Utopia, based on the culture of ancient Greece and set on a Mediterranean Island. ...
"Most of his production was hackwork ... But it is clear that on those occasions when he took time to allow his intelligence to work, as in The Island of Fantasy and The Expedition of Captain Flick and some other titles, he rewards investigation."
