I was surprised not to find online a scanned image of the original Hogarth Press edition of Mrs Dalloway. So I found a relatively cheap copy of the second printing (September 1925) and persuaded my university to give me access to a cheap (non-professional) book scanner, and here’s the (out-of-copyright) result:

It’s not even remotely perfect, but it’s searchable (except for any words that Adobe Acrobat couldn’t read), and I hope it might be useful. Don’t shoot the piano player. He’s doing his best.

The second impression has two changes from the first, and lacks the six further changes that VW made for the 1929 third impression - all of them detailed in Anne’s Cambridge UP edition and G. Patton Wright’s Hogarth “Definitive” edition.

Archive.org has a scanned image of the 1928 Modern Library reprint of the quite different text of the American edition. It’s very strange. Someone falsified it by changing the publication date at the front from 1928 to 1922 (when the book existed only an idea), and I have no idea whether there are any other falsifications in the text.
