True first is Longmans, Green and Co., London, 1932. The census note that 'the US Longmans New York issue followed' is misleading and is corrected here: the London first edition's own title-page imprint line reads 'London, New York & Toronto' because that was Longmans' standard triple-imprint, so the presence of 'New York' on the title page does NOT make a copy American — this is the principal trap on this book. A Longmans, Green issue associated with New York and dated 1933 appears in aggregated library data, but it could not be corroborated against a second independent source in this pass; no claim is made about it beyond that it is not the true first.
