I humbly ask for some help on tracing the publication history of "Some Contributions to Middle-English Lexicography" by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The tolkienbookshelf.com has a copy of the 1924 book The Finn Episode in Beowulf for sale, which contains the article. However, according to Bertenstam's bibliography of Tolkien's published works, the article didn't appear until 1925 in The Review of English Studies.
Was the 1925 article merely a reprint of the article in the 1924 book?
Thank you,
Morgan

The Finn book is not by Tolkien - it's by R.A. Williams. This copy comes from Tolkien's library, and has his ownership signature.
This particular book also has some other hand-writing under Tolkien's signature, possibly to remind Tolkien about the quality of the book.
(I will likely have quite a few, since I have a growing interest in Tolkien bibliography...)
