De Profundis

Methuen (London), February 1905 is the true first; the American G.P. Putnam's Sons edition also appeared in 1905 and followed. 'First thus' caution: this 1905 text is Robert Ross's heavily abridged/redacted version — the complete unexpurgated text was not published until 1962, so 'first edition' here means the 1905 Methuen abridgment, not the full work.
