Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
Frederick Douglass · Anti-Slavery Office (Boston) · 1845
Boston, 1845, is the true first edition. Dublin printings by the abolitionist printer Richard D. Webb, adapted with Irish-specific abolitionist content, followed later in 1845 after Douglass's arrival in Ireland, with a further revised Dublin printing in early 1846; none of the Irish printings precede the Boston original.
