History of the Conquest of Peru

Bentley's London edition appeared in May 1847, roughly a month before Harper's New York edition of June 1847; despite the earlier London date, the Harper printing carrying the established first-issue points (no period after "integrity," vol. II, p. 467; no printer's slug on vol. I copyright page) is the edition identified in standard American references (BAL 16346, Sabin 65272) and the one American dealers and collectors present as the first edition.
