Forwarding following inquiry to NYHIST-L:

I am trying to trace the history of James Fenimore Cooper's
dedication in his novel, _THE PIONEERS_. In an 1830's edition of the book, Cooper dedicated the book to Jacob Sutherland. This dedication seems to have disappered from later editions. What I would like to know is when this dedication first appeared in _THE PIONEERS_? I have not been able to get a look at a first edition. Is anyone on the list familiar with the
book who could tell me the history of Cooper's dedication to Sutherland? (Also, if anyone knows anything about any correspondence between Cooper and Sutherland, I would be very interested to hear about it.) I would appreciate it if you would contact me directly at

Thanks very much. Ian McGiver.
