rs. The titles of his
works, as published in England, were sometimes different from the titles
used in the United States; and whenever this is the case the former are
subjoined. It is also to be remarked that Cooper's works were sometimes
published earlier in Europe than they were in America; but the dates
given in this biography belong exclusively to the publication of his
works in this country. With the exception of No. 45 and of No. 67, all
his tales were originally published in two volumes in America; with the
exception of No. 45 they were originally published in three volumes in
England. First editions of many of his novels are now rarely to be found
in libraries; and the titles given have in several cases, in
consequence, been taken from contemporary book notices and not from
personal examination. The titles are given in the order of publication
of the writings.
