The Spy: A Tale of the Neutral Ground

Wiley's own 1822 and 1824 reprints used the same plates but added new prefaces, so they can be mistaken for the true first; Putnam's 1849 edition carries Cooper's own textual revisions, and later Townsend and other illustrated "household" editions from the 1850s onward add engravings and use imprints unrelated to Wiley & Halsted. None reproduce the original boards-and-label binding.
