A Room with a View
E.M. Forster · Edward Arnold (London) · 1908
Edward Arnold, London, 1908 is the true first, and the census claim is confirmed. The first American edition is G.P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1911 — a separate later setting of roughly 364 pp. with publisher's advertisements at the end; it is collected as the first American edition but is not the true first.
