The Children's Hour

US only-first; the census claim is correct as to publisher, city and year. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1934 is the true first. The UK edition is Hamish Hamilton, London, 1937 (127 pp.) — three years later, so no UK-precedence question arises and the London edition should never be described as a first. Only the Knopf 1934 is collected as the first edition of the work; the Hamish Hamilton is a first English edition and nothing more.
