There is another falsification on p. ix: VW's intro. is dated there "June, 
1922" when it should be "June, 1928".

These Modern Library printings are very tricky.  The description in 
Bibliography A9c is, I think of a later binding (certainly, the dj is 
wrong).  I have a Modern Library edn, which is a reprint of 1931 or later up 
to 1939 - Binding style 7!  See:

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:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mendelson.org/MrsDalloway-SecondImpression.pdf__;!!KGKeukY!3awvkagsUKkv6ZNWYa86eNAazx7ih2197YrRYgkPpc6xHmAZKtSrQYgRI9vIEee42bxCNjR1M1rsn1oN88dBsWalubLI8OEVEi8$

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.
