Could I add my own words of support for June Flanders' sensible 
suggestion that it become imperative that academic writing using 
historical sources, particularly in HET, always include the original 
publication date. And could I also suggest that in such bibliographic 
references, that it is the original publication date that is stated 
first with the reprint added later so that the sequential order of 
publication in the bibliography will follow the chronological order 
of publication for each author. It would then become unnecessary to 
unscramble the sequence in which various publications have been 
written which in many areas is an important consideration. As an example :

Keynes, J.M. [1930] 1979. A Treatise on Money.

Keynes, J.M. [1936] 1973. The General Theory of Employment, Interest 
and Money.

If all journal editors in HET made this a requirement, it would very 
quickly establish itself as the standard practice.
