Alcools

No precedence contest — the census note is confirmed. Alcools was published only in Paris in French, and no English edition followed for roughly half a century: the first complete English translations are William Meredith's (Doubleday, 1964) and Anne Hyde Greet's facing-page version with a foreword by Warren Ramsey (University of California Press, 1965). The 1913 Mercure de France issue is therefore the sole first-edition candidate, and every English-language 'Alcools' is a translation and a 'first thus' at best.
