Description
The US first edition, first state, is notable for a misprint in the fourth line of page 65 that reads “if had,” which was corrected to “if he had” in later printings. (I pointed out the omitted “he” to bibliographers.) The scarcity of the first state suggests that the typographical error was corrected quickly.
