The Lottery; or, The Adventures of James Harris

The US Farrar, Straus and Company edition of 1949 is the true first. The first British edition followed from Victor Gollancz, London, in 1950, retaining Jackson's original title; both are collected but Farrar, Straus holds precedence. The familiar The Lottery and Other Stories is a later re-titling and is a "first thus" trap only — never a true first.
