Of Hunam Bondage

I have two old black books of "Of Human Bondage" by doubleday press.
Can you tell me points for a 1st edition on these rather old books.
There is no number line but that don't mean much on old books
sometimes.

Thank you
Joseph McNamara

First edition was published by George H. Doran (New York, 1915). Doran
merged with Doubleday in 1922.

Doubleday published the first illustrated edition (Garden City, 1936; a
signed limited edition of 751 copies, plus a trade edition;
illustrations by Randolph Schwabe).

The first trade edition of the 1936 illustrated edition states "First
Edition". Decent copies of this (with dust jacket) are collectible.
