With regard to early textbooks in point-set topology, I don't know
whether Colin McLarty would want to count Sierpinski's Introduction to
General Topology, published in English by the University of Toronto Press
in 1934. It is a translation of the second volume of the Polish original
(published in 1928), and that Polish original did not mention topology in
the title. That does not seem to be enough to prevent the translation from
being a textbook on topology well before Kelley.
