The works of Herman Melville are among the classics of the South Seas. This was Melville's first work and was published simultaneously in New York and London--one of the first books so issued. John Murray was the first to recognize Melville and obtained the prior rights of publication.
Not only was this English edition of, what is now better known as, Typee, issued earlier than the American, it contains passages deleted from the latter "to meet American squeamishness."---Wilson.
