Widdershins
Oliver Onions · Martin Secker, London · 1911
The London Martin Secker 1911 edition is the true first and there is no period American edition — the census claim is confirmed. The so-called 'first US edition' is Arno Press, New York, 1976, and it is not a first in any sense: it is offset from the SECOND printing of the 1911 Martin Secker edition, i.e. photographically reproduced rather than reset. Only the Secker 1911 first impression is the collected first.
