The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) · Charles L. Webster and Company (New York) · 1885

Both editions are collected. The English edition (Chatto & Windus, London) was published in December 1884, roughly two months before the American (Webster, New York, February 1885) — so London has precedence by date; the American Webster is the edition collected for its elaborate first-state point system and as the first American edition. Look above all for the three uncorrected plate readings (p. 9 'Decided', p. 13 '88', p. 57 'with the was'). Twain-signed copies are the association apex.
