The Song of the Lark

The US Houghton Mifflin 1915 edition is the true first and the census claim is confirmed. The first English edition was published by John Murray, London, in March 1916; per the Willa Cather Archive bibliography it was made up from American sheets rather than reset, so it is an English issue of the American setting and not a competing first. Collectors pursue the Houghton Mifflin 1915; the Murray is collected as the first English appearance only.
