Mr. Midshipman Easy

Frederick Marryat · Saunders and Otley (London) · 1836

The London Saunders and Otley first edition (1836) has priority; the Philadelphia (Carey and Hart) edition, issued the same year, is catalogued by dealers citing 'Sadleir 1585 (the printed pricet Eng. ed.)' as their own point of reference -- i.e. treated as a secondary printing, not a competing first.
