Subject: [Vwoolf] A question about the 2nd and 3rd Hogarth printings of To
the Lighthouse

Here is a mild textual mystery that I know can be solved with visits to
rare-book libraries, but I hope someone might be able to solve it with a
two-minute glance at a bookshelf.

The first Hogarth Press edition of To the Lighthouse has on p. 119, line
17 (in the long paragraph that begins "'Fatal,' Paul agreed"): power
sweeping

The 1930 Uniform Edition has: dower sweeping

The correct reading is in the Albatross edition, the typo is reproduced in
the Everyman edition (which seems to have no textual authority).

The question is this: Was the typo introduced in the 1930 Uniform Edition
(the fourth impression) or was it already present in the second or third
impression? The answer is probably No, but if it should turn out to be Yes,
then the second or third impressions has one or more changes that have not,
I think, been noticed earlier.

Many thanks for any wisdom and knowledge about this.
