Richard Henry Dana Jr. · Harper & Brothers (New York) · 1840

Later 19th and 20th-century editions credit Dana by name on the title page and are extensively revised (Dana's own 1869 revised and expanded edition, with a new final chapter, is textually distinct from and postdates the original anonymous 1840 first printing).
