Additional Comments:
For original reading in 1910 see record ID 26468. See also letter 6 January 1921 p.239 of source text when Conrad acknowledged receipt of an advance copy of the new Duckworth edition but declined to write a preface. It is therefore not entirely clear which edition he was re-reading in 1921.
