I believ the first British publication of TWL was in The Criterian,
minus the notes and with some lines variants from the book version.

I'm remembering that Eliot was thinking of the notes as early as
January or February of 1922. The Boni and Liveright book was published
in December. I can't quickly find my copy of Lawrenre Rainey's
"The Price of Modernism: Publishing The Waste Land" to verify.
