Democracy in America (De la démocratie en Amérique)

Census claim confirmed. The Gosselin French text is the true first and the original-language edition. Three editions are separately collected: the 1835/1840 Gosselin French original; the Reeve translation from Saunders and Otley, London (1835/1840), which is the first edition in English; and the 1838 New York printing, which is the first American edition and adds Spencer's preface and notes — matter not in either European edition.
