The Mastiff was a yacht belonging to John Burns, later Lord Inverclyde, in which Trollope sailed to Iceland. The work was issued privately at Burns's expense.

Dust-jackets on books of this date are very rare and Sadleir makes no mention of it. None of the copies appearing at auction on ABPC since 1975 have had one.
