UK Constable is the true first and the census is correct on precedence, but its supporting claim is wrong and is corrected here. The first American edition is Houghton Mifflin, Boston and New York, 1917 — not "the same year" — catalogued as Boughn A2 aii and bound in publisher's blue-green wraps printed in black, collating vi, 47, [1] pp. It is a distinct binding from the London issue, and no source consulted documents it as being printed from imported English sheets; that part of the census note is unsupported and should not be repeated. One bibliography does list the American edition as 1916, conflicting with the dealer and catalogue record of 1917, so the American edition's date should be treated as unsettled pending a Boughn collation. None of this disturbs the London Constable 1916 priority, which is not in conflict across sources. H.D. wrote in English; no original-language question arises.
