John Camden Hotten

[1870]

London publisher John Camden Hotten exploited the lack of an international copyright treaty to issue pirated editions of many popular American authors. Less than a year after The Innocents Abroad’s first publication, Hotten produced his own unauthorized edition, splitting the text into two volumes: Hotten’s Innocents Abroad contained only the first half of Twain’s text, while The New Pilgrim’s Progress carried the remainder.
