New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1886. First Thus. Hardcover. Very good. First Crowell Edition of ? TCHERNUISHEVSKY (Chernyshevsky), Nikolai. A Vital Question, or What Is To Be Done? Nathan Haskell Dole and S. S. Skidelsky, trans. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1886. Blank leaf + TP + [iii] - ix = preface + [1] - 462 + blank leaf. Octavo. First US Crowell Edition. An alternate translation of ? (A Vital Question, or What Is To Be Done?) was published the same year as the Tucker edition. Priority seems to be with the Tucker, since it appeared in serialized form from 1884 - 1886. The other American translation
was published by Nathan Haskell Dole and S.S. Skidelsky. Unlike Tucker, Dole and Skidelsky were fluent in Russian. Therefore, this translation was made directly from the Russian, rather than from the French, so it remains truer to the original. While some of Vera and Lopukhovs marriage life was omitted in this version (because it might have been too…

Boston: Benj. R. Tucker, 1886. First English Edition. Wraps. Very good. First English Language Edition of ? TCHERNYCHEWSKY (Chernyshevsky), Nikolai. Whats To Be Done? A Romance. Benj. R. Tucker, trans. Boston: Benj. R. Tucker, 1886. Frontispiece with tissue guard + TP + [3] - 4 = translators preface + [5] - 329 + 3 leaves = ads. Octavo. First English Language Edition. SCARCE in original wrappers! The first English translation [of ?- Whats To Be Done?] was made by one of the most outspoken American anarchists. Benjamin Tucker knew no Russian, and most likely translated this from the French of 1875. This translation first appeared as a serial in the anarchist biweekly Liberty from May 1884 to May 1886, thus lending priority to this US edition.
