Dies ist vermutlich die erste Auflage von 1904. Das Buch selbst gibt kein Datum an. Eine kurze Besprechung findet sich von Carl Willmann in: Die Zauberwelt, 10. Jahrgang, Nr. 4, April 1904, Seite 63

In der Magic-Pedia wird das Erscheinungsdatum mit 1903 angegeben, was wahrscheinlich stimmt, da die Besprechung von Willmann im April 1904 erschienen ist. Also sicherlich mit einer Zeitverzögerung zu ersten Erscheinungstermin.

Weitere Ausgaben von Later Magic sind in den Jahren 1911 und 1925 erschienen.
