When Nietzsches first publisher, Fritzsch, bought back his remaindered stock from Schmeitzner in 1886, the inventory included 212, 351, 350 and 768 copies respectively of the original editions of the four Untimely Meditations. The first of these had originally been published by Fritzsch and remaindered to Schmeitzner when Fritzsch went bankrupt. These were reissued with new title pages and covers, but without the addition of new Prefaces that were written for several others of these 1886/1887 reissues.
This copy has, as usual, the Richard Wagner in Bayreuth marked as "Second Edition" on the title page.
At the same time [as Also sprach Zarathustra was being reissued]and with similar uncertainty regarding the specific release datethe four Unconventional Observations were reissued. Nietzsche claimed that he "wanted to leave them as they are" and Fritzsch agreed. They were published individually without changes or additions except for the new undated title pages. The fourth ObservationRichard Wagner in Bayreuthwas listed as a "Second Edition" on the cover and the title page (NOTE: 800 of the original 1,500 copies printed of this piece had been falsely marked Second Edition).
(Schaberg, The Nietzsche Canon, pp. 135-136)
