Cooper 2154.  A prior edition of 106 pages was published in 1828, and one of 70 pages in 1827.  Each is rare.  Smith's story is not recorded by Wright until publication of a collection of his tales in 1836.  Sabin 83784, under Smith, attributes this incorrectly to Ingraham, and puts publication in Hamilton, Bermuda!
