A Shropshire Lad
A. E. Housman · Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner, & Co. (London) · 1896
The British issue, under the Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner imprint dated 1896, precedes the American issue; the 150 sheets shipped to New York received a cancel title leaf carrying John Lane's imprint and the date 1897, so surviving American-issue copies postdate the original British printing even though they share the same setting of type and sheets.
