Two Years Before the Mast
Richard Henry Dana Jr. (published anonymously) · Harper & Brothers, "Harper's Family Library" No. 106 (New York) · 1840
Dana's 1869 'author's edition,' published by Fields, Osgood & Co. of Boston after the original copyright expired, revised the text throughout and added a long appendix, 'Twenty-Four Years After,' describing his 1859 return to California; a copy containing that appendix is this later revised edition, not the anonymous 1840 Harper's Family Library first edition.
