D4b. Richard R. Smith Subedition (New York, 1930)

[_]

D4b. Richard R. Smith subedition. This entry, on the transatlantic counterpart to the preceding subedition, illustrates how one condensed description builds on another. (If the Smith publication were an issue of the "Constable's Miscellany" printing and not a separate printing, it would not receive an entry number and would be described in a subsection of D4a—following the principle of treating printings as entities, explained in Tanselle 1984, p. 18.)

REDBURN | HIS FIRST VOYAGE | BY | HERMAN MELVILLE | [publisher's device] | RICHARD R. SMITH INC. | NEW YORK [iii]

The same as the "Constable's Miscellany" subedition (D4a), except that (1) p. iv reads 'First American Edition 1930' and identifies the printer as Lowe & Brydone Printers Ltd., London, and (2) the binding is medium blue (182) cloth, printed in yellow on the spine. Dust jacket not seen. Copy: 1. ICN. M67-3824-7.

Announced PW 8 March 1930.
