Under Western Eyes

Joseph Conrad · Methuen & Co. (London) · 1911

UK true first: Methuen (London), October 1911, precedes the first American edition, Harper & Brothers (New York), also October 1911; the two fall in the same month but the Methuen holds precedence. The Harper first American is readily distinguished — blue cloth stamped in gilt and an orange dust jacket printed in black, versus the Methuen's red cloth and green jacket.
