The Red Rover: A Tale

James Fenimore Cooper · Henry Colburn (London); Carey, Lea & Carey (Philadelphia) · 1827

Cooper's own revised text appeared in Richard Bentley's 1834 "Standard Novels" edition, whose new preface admits the original "has been found to be full of errors, in style, orthography, and taste"; this and later Putnam and Stringer & Townsend reprints reset the type in uniform bindings and do not reproduce the 1827-28 boards-and-paper-label format of the first editions.
