 * Confidence (London: Chatto & Windus, 1879)
 * — First English book edition; two volumes; title page says 1880 but it was actually published 10 December 1879; extensively revised by James, including redivision of the 12 serial instalments into 31 chapters.
 * Confidence (Boston: Houghton, Osgood & Co., 1880)
 * — First American book edition; published 7 February 1880; apparently James revised the English and American editions independently, deliberately tailoring the texts to the different national audiences. The most obvious marker for distinguishing the texts is the number of chapters, the American text having 30 chapters, the English text 31, the difference being the further division in the English text of the American chapter 10.

 * — Reprint in a single volume of the first English book edition; published October 1880.
 * Confidence (London: Chatto & Windus, 1881)

 * Confidence (James; Project Gutenberg edition)
 * — An edition copied from Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg does not specify its source, but the fact of its having 30 chapters rather than 31 attests to it being based on the American text rather than the English text.
