FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, second issue, with the copyright page on the verso of the title reading "Copyright, 1899 and 1900." Cagle A5b; Keating 27; Modern Library Top 100 85; cf. Wise 7 (citing the first English edition, also of 1900): "... The first American edition of Lord Jim was published by Messrs. Doubleday, McClure & Co., in 1900. Upon the fly-leaf of a copy of this edition Mr. Conrad wrote the following note: - 'This is the first American edition, set up probably from English proofs, but neither revised nor in any other way corrected by me. It is probably much nearer the text of Blackwood's Magazine than the first English Edition in book form' ... The novel first appeared as a serial in Blackwood's Magazine from October 1899 to November 1900 inclusive."
