Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
Frederick Douglass · Anti-Slavery Office (Boston) · 1845
The Narrative sold roughly 5,000 copies in its first four months and went through six further American printings between 1845 and 1849; any copy lacking the original blind-and-gilt brown cloth and the plain 1845 Anti-Slavery Office title page -- including all 20th-century facsimile and paperback reprints -- is not the first edition.
