First American Edition of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, published the year after the very rare London edition. The author is wrongly identified on the title-page as being that of "Jane Eyre". Jane Eyre had also been published first in 1847 and was immediately successful, leading to some speculation that Wuthering Heights was an earlier work by "Currer Bell" (i.e. Charlotte Bronte). The sisters did not acknowledge their identities to their American publishers until later.
