Notes
The first British edition of this late Conrad novel, published in August 1919, following the American edition of April and serialisation in Lloyd's magazine beginning in 1918. 'Although not ranking as a Conrad princeps, the First English Edition of The Arrow of Gold is yet a desirable book to the reader as well as the collector. Its text embodies certain corrections which, though duly forwarded to America, did not arrive there in time for incorporation in the original edition of the novel' (Wise).
