Default Modern Library info, please? - Treasure Island

Hi,
My dust jacket lists to #133 (Bierce - In the Midst of Life)
published in 1927. Would that mean this copy of Treasure Island
published in 1927?
Back of dust jacket says "The Modern Library . Inc . New York/
In Canada . The Macmillan Company of Canada . Ltd . Toronto". Do all
the old dust jackets say that or just ones there were being exported
to Canada? Back also says "A New Title on the 25th of Every Month"
- is that true? Common?
Any rough idea of value for Treasure Island, Binding #4, dust
jacket missing small pieces bottom edge, not a 1st?
Thanks for any help

ως ουκ αν αιων' εκμαθοις βροτων, πριν αν
θανη τις, ουτε ει χρηστος ουτ’ ει τω κακος.

That is Greek, from Sophocles' play, the The Women of
Trachis. Loosely translated - Call no man happy until you
have seen his final day.

I thought it was "Call no man happy until you have seen his wife's tits." I
must have a different translation.

Call no man happy until he has forced another man to watch while he
ravages
his wife.


Ravages? Shirley you mean radishes.
