Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life
Herman Melville · John Murray (London) — UK; Wiley & Putnam (New York) — US · 1846
Precedence by date belongs to the London John Murray edition (late February 1846), which preceded the New York Wiley & Putnam edition (March 1846). The expurgated 'Revised Edition' (Wiley & Putnam, later in 1846) is a distinct later state; the first American issue carries the earlier, fuller text.
