The Gods of Pegāna

Lord Dunsany (Edward J. M. D. Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany) · Elkin Mathews (London) · 1905

UK only. Elkin Mathews, London, 1905 is the sole first edition; no American edition of 1905 is recorded, so there is no simultaneous-issue or UK-vs-US precedence question — the census claim is confirmed. Later Elkin Mathews printings and reissues, and 20th-century reprints, are the 'first thus' traps; they carry their own dates and imprints and are not the 1905 issue.
