The Subjection of Women

CENSUS CORRECTED. The London 1869 Longmans, Green, Reader, and Dyer edition is the true first. The census claim that the same-year American printing is D. Appleton, New York, is wrong: the first American edition is J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia, 1869 (174 pp., with 6 pp. of advertisements at the end), issued in green pebbled cloth with gilt-lettered spine. D. Appleton & Company did publish a New York edition in 1869, but dealers catalogue it as the 'First New York Edition' and expressly note the work was 'published first in Philadelphia by J. B. Lippincott & Co. in 1869' — a concession made against the cataloguing dealer's own interest. Both London Longmans 1869 and Lippincott Philadelphia 1869 are collected; the Appleton New York 1869 is a same-year secondary American edition, not the first American.
