AN EDITION DE LUXE. MYSTERIOUS PROCEEDINGS. [Pbess Association — Coptkight.] (Received Feb. 10, 8.10 p.m.) Melbourne, Feb. 10. The "Argus" states that Sir Ernest Shackleton published a supplementary volume as an. edition de luxe, limited to comparatively few copies^ This contained the original autographs of all the members of the expedition, two poems by Sir Ernest Shackleton and a prose article by Mr Maw«m. Toe ' Price was fixed at £10 10a. The publishers sent a few copies to Australia, and 17 were already sold when the Australian agent received peremptory orders to stop the sale and get back by some means the copies sold. Further instructions came ordering that certain page© bo cut out, and certain other pages which were sent bound up in their place. [ These proceedings have aroused interest, as well as surrounding the new volume with an air of mystery.
