Victory: An Island Tale

Joseph Conrad · Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York · 1915

Classic precedence trap: the American Doubleday, Page edition (26 March 1915) precedes the English Methuen (London) edition of September 1915 — the US printing is the true first, roughly six months ahead. The Methuen London first is separately identified by the first-state title page with a comma after 'Essex Street'; both editions are collected but the US is primary.
