[Mithadan]

Not only was "Riddles in the Dark" changed, but also pieces of Bilbo's story of how he found the Ring as it was told to the Dwarves. The edits took place in the Fifth Printing of the British Printing of the First Edition in 1954. However, for some reason, the British publishers continued to call the Hobbit a First Edition until around 1966, while the first US edition with the changes was called a Second Edition if I recall. I do have a copy of the British First Edition, Fourth Printing which contains the original version. It was printed in 1948.
