TRUE FIRST IS UK — Faber and Faber, London, October 1936, precedes, and the census is correct on precedence despite Barnes being American. Both editions are collected. The first American edition, Harcourt, Brace and Company, New York, 1937, is separately collected as the first appearance of T. S. Eliot's introduction; it is bound in dark blue cloth with a gilt-lettered spine and a fuchsia-stained top edge. Collectors wanting the Eliot introduction in its first appearance need the US 1937, not the UK 1936.
