A Room of One's Own

The census note that the Hogarth trade is 'the reference first' is wrong on precedence and is corrected here. Per Kirkpatrick A12, the Fountain Press/Hogarth signed limited was published in New York on 21 October 1929 and preceded the English edition by three days; the Hogarth trade followed on 24 October 1929, the limited reaching the UK the same day. Harcourt, Brace issued the American trade edition in New York on 24 October as well, alongside Hogarth's. Both the signed limited and the Hogarth trade are collected and both should be named: the Fountain Press limited holds date precedence as the true first, while the Hogarth trade is the standard English first and the reference text.
