A number of editions have been illustrated with artwork or photographs. It has been issued in its entirety and in abridged or selected form, by itself and in combination with other writings by Thoreau, in English and in many European and some Asian languages, in popular and scholarly versions, in inexpensive printings, and in limited fine press editions. Since the nineteenth century, Walden has been reprinted many times, in a variety of formats. In 1971, it was issued as the first volume of the Princeton Edition. In 1894, Walden was included as the second volume of the Riverside Edition of Thoreau's collected writings, in 1906 as the second volume of the Walden and Manuscript Editions. A second American edition (from a new setting of type) was published in 1889 by Houghton, Mifflin, in two volumes, the first English edition in 1886. A second printing was issued in 1862, with multiple printings from the same stereotyped plates issued between that time and 1890. Ticknor and Fields published Walden or, Life in the Woods in Boston in an edition of 2,000 copies on August 9, 1854. Six selections from the book (under the title "A Massachusetts Hermit") appeared in advance of publication in the Maissue of the New York Daily Tribune. In 1852, two parts of what would be Walden were published in Sartain's Union Magazine ("The Iron Horse" in July, "A Poet Buys A Farm" in August). However, with the failure of A Week, Munroe backed out of the agreement. James Munroe, publisher of A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849), originally intended to publish Walden as well. After leaving Walden, he expanded and reworked his material repeatedly until the spring of 1854, producing a total of eight versions of the book. By 1847, he had begun to set his first draft of Walden down on paper. While Thoreau lived at Walden (July 4, 1845–September 6, 1847), he wrote journal entries and prepared lyceum lectures on his experiment in living at the pond.
