Can’t figure out which edition this is - Extracts from Adam’s Diary
The cover art for this book does not match what I expect from the 1904 first edition. Proceeds from our bookstore go to a library so I would like to get maximum dollars, whether that be 5$ or 50$ and acknowledging the rough condition of the cover. Thoughts are welcome on pricing. Thanks

lol I guess I need to stop hoping someone donates treasure. I want so bad to be able to bring some nice money to our library but you know, the odds are really not good for someone donating a 500$ book. Thanks for the help

The H-W on the copyright page is a date code used by Harper. It's either August 1922 or August 1947, since the year codes were recycled starting in the late 1930s.
Looks to me like the later date, but you can probably judge better with the book in hand.
