UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT LOS ANGELES No. 725—1909 The Chamberlain Bibliographies iN 1905 Mr. J. C. Chamberlain prepared a Catalogue of "First Editions of the Works of Nathaniel Haw- thorne," which was issued under the imprint of the Grolier Club. This work was not only a biblio- graphy but contained much collateral information of great interest both to the collector and to the general reader. Mr. Chamberlain's quest for first editions did not end with his possession of the works. He wished to know the entire history of each book, the conditions under which it was written, its birth place and early environment, all material facts concerning its production, the author's hopes and fears, often recorded in interesting contem- porary letters, and its reception by the reading world. Many of the facts, so collected, sometimes through visits to the author's home and kinsmen, were novel and highly interesting and formed a valuable supplement to the usual bibliographical data. Following the Hawthorne Bibliography it was his intention to publish similar descriptive catalogues of all the American authors whose works he had collected, but his sudden death prevented the execution of this plan. Subsequently, Mrs. Chamberlain decided to continue the work and to issue the series under the general title of " THE CHAMBERLAIN BIBLIOGRAPHIES" as a memorial to her husband. In this work she was fortunate in securing the invaluable services of Mr. Luther S. Livingston, whose experience and eminent qualifications in this line are too widely known to require comment here. The first of the series (or the second, if we consider the Haw- thorne Catalogue the first) has been privately printed and announced by Dodd, Mead & Co., as follows: A COLLECTOR'S BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LONGFELLOW A Bibliography of the First Editions in Book Form of the Writings of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Compiled largely from the collection formed by the late Jacob Chester Chamberlain, with assistance from his notes and memoranda, by Luther S. Livingston. With a photogravure portrait and numerous reproductions of title pages. Privately printed at the De Vinne Press, 1908, on old Stratford paper, bound in boards, 8vo, uncut. Price, J3.00 net. Fifty copies have been printed on Van Gelder hand-made paper, mainly for presentation. Of these, fifteen copies only remain for sale. Price, 110.00 net. This is the first of a series of Bibliographies of first editions of American Authors, being prepared by Mr. Livingston and printed at Mrs. Chamberlain's expense as a memorial to her husband. The volume is more than a mere bibliography. It is, in fact, the story of Longfellow's books. Copious extracts have been made from letters (for the most part unpublished) and free access has been given to Longfellow's own books, still preserved at the Craigie House at Cambridge. Several important first editions are here for the first time described bibliographically. Without detracting from the merits of other bibliographies it is beUeved that this is not only the latest, but the best of all, and is perhaps the final work on Longfellow — the last word upon the subject, as it is not probable that any really important additions can hereafter be made. The Anderson Auction Company is not financially interested in the sale of this work, but will be glad to receive and execute any orders which may be sent by its friends upon the terms above mentioned. The edition is limited and many copies have already been disposed of, and orders should be sent at once. The Lowell Bibliography will soon be issued and announcement of the others will be made later.

PREFACE. npHE Chamberlain Library is by far the most important collection of First Editions of American Authors ever offered for sale. Not only did Mr. Chamberlain profit by the experience of previous collectors, but he brought to his work a most unusual personal equipment. An enthusiastic lover of his books, their quest was to him a delightful recreation and relief from the exacting duties of his professional life. To enthusiasm he added system and untiring industry, while his wonderful memory and ability to analyze, correlate, and properly estimate facts overlooked by others, give peculiar interest and value to his work. Mr. Chamberlain was born in India of American parentage on July 3, i860, being the son of Jacob Chamberlain, M.D., D.D., and in 1872 was brought to this country to complete his education. He graduated with honors from Rutgers College, in 1882. In 1883 he took a post-graduate course in chemistry; soon after he entered Thomas A. Edison's labora- tory and took active part in the pioneer electric lighting work of those days. From this time to his sudden death in 1905 he followed his profession with marked success, and was identified with many important enterprises. He was one of the early members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the Electric Club. He was also a member of the Colonial, Engineers, Grolier, and other clubs. The entire Collection here offered (including the Second Part hereinafter referred to) was gathered in the short period of about five years, and the work of collecting was never dele- gated to others. Each book was bought, examined, collated, and catalogued by Mr. Chamberlain, personally, and when a better copy of the same work could be obtained the old one was ruthlessly laid aside. This Catalogue, as far as its neces- sary limitations would permit, will show how carefully and well this work was done. In this connection it may be well to point out that while the chief interest and value belong to the first issue of each X^ book, the later issues of the same edition, and later editions which show important variations, all possess high bibliograph- ical interest and should be found in all collections which aim to be complete. Many books have bibliographical notes by Mr. Chamberlain laid in, the results of his careful investiga- tion, which materially enhance their value. Attention is called to the reviarkably fine condition of these books. No collector has ever before so loved his books as to provide a special and expensive cover for nearly every book in the best style of the binder's art. Mr. Chamberlain always preferred to retain his books in their original covers as issued. To him it seemed sacrilegious and destructive of old associa- tions to rebind an old and treasured book; and so he gave to each an attractive outer garment of its own, which not only preserved it from deterioration, but satisfied the aesthetic sense. In the case of some minor items the cost of the cover exceeded the value of the book and the total cost was neces- sarily great. Many other books, the more rare and valuable ones, have been furnished with beautiful levant cases, worthy of their costly contents. All of the books and many of the pamphlets contain the Chamberlain bookplate, and many have the bookplates of other eminent collectors and previous owners. " Hallmarks of distinction," and "a sort of guarantee of authenticity," they are called by Mr. Joline in his delightful " Diversions of a Book Lover." It will be noted that this Catalogue is called " Part One," and that it is limited to the first editions of " Ten American Aui'HORS. " But Mr. Chamberlain was not indifferent to the choice works of other authors and became the owner of many such. Part Two of the catalogue will include these books, many of which are of the highest interest and dear to the heart of all American Collectors. It maybe well to say that all responsibility for this preface and the personal note which it discloses belong to the writer alone. It was his privilege to know Mr. Chamberlain, to browse among his books and to profit by the larger knowl- edge of his friend: and this fact will explain and palliate all that is discursive and personal. EMORY S. TURNER. ASSOCIATION BOOKS. Among the rarities of the collection a few particularly- attractive association items deserve special notice, owing to the peculiar fitness of the added material to the book which accompanies it. The Longfellow, Holmes and Lowell divi- sions are particularly noticeable in this respect. A very- early holograph manuscript of Bryant, manuscript copies by his father and aunt of his first attempts at poetry, and a presentation copy of Emerson's Representative Men add in- terest to the works of these authors. Irving's manuscript diaries in Spain for 1828 and 1829 and his pocket note-book for the Knickerbocker History are most unusual items. The six or eight school books of Nathaniel Hawthorne, in each of which he has scribbled his name many times, after the manner of a schoolboy, contain some of the earliest examples of his writing known. They add great interest to the rarities of the Hawthorne collection. There are two Holmes items, both with the author's inscrip- tion, of which Mr. Chamberlain possessed the only known copies. New England's Master-Key, and Lecture-i86j^ which was probably delivered at Providence. There is a Longfellow item — The Neiv Englatid Tragedy, in prose — which most Longfellow collectors are unaware was ever put in type, and the same is true of the leaflets Ke'ramos and From My Ar?n Chair. The associations connected with t\\& Noel (the copy which accompanied the gift) cannot be sur- passed. An uncut copy of Outre-Mer, of unheard measure- ments, in parts, in the original wrappers, has a long letter of Longfellow accompanying it, written at the time of its publi- cation. The series of letters written by Longfellow to his intimate friend, George W. Greene, upwards of five hundred letters covering a whole lifetime, form an item of literary interest such as has never before appeared in the auction room in America. Lowell's copy of A Years Life, with his presentation inscrip- tion to Alfred Tennyson in the early days of struggle of both the youthful poets, is equalled in interest by the Commemora- tion Ode, with a four-page letter relating to it and giving an entirely new stanza for the re-issue. His letter to Whittier announcing The Pioneer and asking for a contribution is a delightful item, particularly as Whittier has written a verse or two on the leaf of address. In the division relating to Edgar Allan Poe, interest cen- ters in an uncut copy of Al Aaraaf, with his sister Rosalie's presentation inscription, and a copy of the Raven, which Abraham Lincoln gave to a friend, from which, unfortunately, the inscription has been cut. Thoreau is well represented by beautiful copies of the first issues of his works, and it is almost impossible to select among the Whittiers those worthy of mention, AIoll Pitcher, in immaculate blue wrappers, uncut; the almost unknown leaflet, Address at the Ope?iing of Pennsylvafiia Hall^ Mogg Megone^ and Narrative of Jajnes Williavis are among others of equal rarity. The association between all of the books and the owner of the collection will be apparent at a glance, as laid within the volumes are to be found Mr. Chamberlain's memorandum slips, whereon he has written the result of his comparison of different issues, his logical conclusions as to the value of differences, and other interesting and important data for the collector. vi THE PRINCIPAL DIVISIONS.

The inference seems to be plain that Bryant wrote it and sent it to this aunt, of whom he was always very fond.

An exceedingly interesting item, showing that Bryant's youthful genius was much encouraged by his family, as his father says: " /f it not poetical — is it not spirited — is it not Patriotic ? — // has been . . . echoed in the newspapers from New York to Boston, and . . . does honor to the Boys Genius and Talents, etc." This Ode was written at the request of the Washington Benevolent Society of Boston, made through his father. Bryant was 17 years old at the time. 69.

New York: Collins and Co., 1818 * Of extraordinary interest, being Nathaniel Haw- thorne's COPY, WITH HIS FULL AUTOGRAPH WRITTEN IN lO DIF- FERENT PLACES, in varied forms. The autographs are as follows: " Nath. Hathorne," " Nathl. Hathorne, Oct. 25th, iSig'" (in pencil), "Nathl. Hathorne's Book, Salem, Oct. 25th, 1819 "(a fine, bold signattire, with pen ornamentation beneatJi), "Nath. Haw- thorne, 1827," "Nath. Hawthorne, Feb. 28th, 1827, "Nathaniel," "Nath. Hawthorne," "Nathl. Hathorne, Salem, Nov. 1819 " {a fine, bold signature, with pen ornamentation beneath), " Nath. Hawthorne," "Nathaniel Hathorne, Salem, 1820" (with pen ornamentation beneath), " Nath. Hawthorne " {in pencil), and " Hawthorne." In addition to the foregoing, he has scratched in his initials " N. H.," possibly with the point of a nail. Also, on title, " N. Hathorne," an impression from his woodcut die-stamp 18 Morks ot IRatbaniel UDawtborne (i|4'x ^ in.;. Also with " Sheys' Book-Keeping to Gushing and Appleton Dr $1.50," Sheys' Book-Keeping Dr. to cash $1.50," in his autograph, and several names, probably those of members of his class. In 1819 Hawthorne was sent from Raymond, Me. (where his mother and sister were living), to continue his studies in Salem with his uncle, Robert Manning, who defrayed the expenses of his education. He was then 15 years of age. Apart from the extraordinary number of signatures that the above contains, it is possibly the most inter- esting MEMENTO OF THE AUTHOR OF " ThE ScARLET LeTTER " that has ever been offered at auction, THE FINEST AND BOLD- EST SIGNATURES IN THE VOLUME HAVING BEEN AVRITTEN WHEN HE WAS ONLY 15 YEARS OF AGE. WhEN IT IS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE EARLIEST FRAGMENT OF HIS WRITING NOW EXTANT IS A LETTER WRITTEN FROM SALEM, DeC. Q, 1813, IT IS APPARENT WHAT ESPECIAL INTEREST THIS VOLUME POSSESSES. Hawthorne altered the form of spelling his name from Hathorne to " Hawthorne," but it is not definitely known at what date he did so. His sisters also adopted the alteration. Early in 1820 Hawthorne was employed part of the day by his uncle, William Manning, as bookkeeper, who was the proprietor of a line of stages that connected with all parts of New England. It is apparent that this kind of work was distasteful to him, and that he intended literature as his vocation, for in a letter about this time to his sister Elizabeth he says in part ..." No man can be a poet and a bookkeeper at the same time." This is undoubt- edly the BOOK HE used FOR HIS STUDIES TO QUALIFY HIMSELF FOR THE POSITION OF BOOKKEEPER TO HIS UNCLE.

Frontispiece (which is slightly imperfect). 8vo, original sheep. Cantabrigiae, Nov.-Ang., Hilliard et Metcalf, 1819 * Nathaniel Hawthorne's copy, and of special associa- tion INTEREST, BEING ONE OF THE BOOKS HE USED WHILE AT COLLEGE, WITH HIS AUTOGRAPH IN THREE PLACES: " NaTH. Hawthorne, Salem, 1S27," " Nathl. Hathorne, Salem, Feby. I, 1821," and " Nath. Hathorne, Salem, March 13TH, 1826"; also his STAMP, " N. Hathorne" (a woodcut die stamp, i|4f X ^ in., with his favorite red ink), in two places, and the words " Mon Droit" also in his autograph. One of the autographs — " Nathl. Hathorne, Salem, Feby. i, 1821," — is most interesting as it was written only a short time be- fore he left Salem to continue his studies at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Me., at that time a small college graduating only about 30 students. It was while on his journey on the east-bound Boston 19 Ube GoUection of 3. C Cbamberlain mail stage (and in all probability with this volume in his trunk) that he made the acquaintance of Franklin Pierce (afterwards President of the United States), Jonathan Cilley (later a Congressman, and famous in the political duel with Graves), and Alfred Mason, who was Hawthorne's roommate for two years. Laid in are four small strips of parchment, which possibly are the identical strips that Hawthorne used as bookmarks. 126.

Hawthorne, Salem, 1832," on fly-leaf, having, in addition to the autograph of Hawthorne, the autograph of Richard Manning, the uncle of Nathaniel, and with his book-label, " Richard Manning, Raymond, Me." It was in 1818 that Mrs. Hawthorne moved with her small family from Salem to Raymond, where her brother Robert had built her a house near his own (which was locally known as " Raymond's P""olly," on ac- count of its seeming grandeur among the humble dwellings of the other inhabitants), and which was also near the dwelling of his brother Richard. It v,-as in this neighborhood that Hawthorne spent the happiest portion of his boyhood. Near here was the famous flat rock at the outlet of the Thomas Pond (now called Thompson's Pond), where many happy hours were spent fishing for perch, and where it is said he read aloud to his companions his early poems, which in all probability included the two founded on local tragedies, the "Freezing of Mr. and Mrs. Tarbox " and the " Drowning of Mrs. Knight and Her Babe." 20 FANSHAWi:, A TALE, " Wilt thou go ort with me 1" — SoDTHEy. -•*®@^«»f BOSTON: MARSH k CAPEN, 362 WASHINGTON STREET.

However, Time seldom has occasion to mention the gentleman's name, so that it is no great matter how he spells or pronounces it.' " This tale was never col- lected and printed by Hawthorne, but it was reprinted as ' The Carrier's Address ' for the first of January, 1853, with a bracketed note to the above lines intimating authorship (see No. 185). In ' The Carrier's Address ' for 1881 we find a further reference to the author of the broadside: ' They unfolded one entitled " A Por- traiture of Father Time."

[Salem]: Printed by the Apprentices [1847] * Offered as a Hawthorne item, but without absolute PROOF OF ITS AUTHENTICITY. It IS issued in pamphlet form in the same shape as other Carrier's Addresses which were undoubtedly the work of Hawthorne, and it is certain that the style bears a marked resemblance to that of Hawthorne in such of his writings as " Sun- day at Home," " Night Sketches," etc. Hawthorne's Carrier's Address for the same paper, Jan. i, 1853, although unknown to Foley when he issued his " American Authors" in i8g5, has since been absolutely identified by Hawthorne's refer- ence to himself in the text and accompanying note. Should the present item be so identified it will but add another to the small number of excessively rare Hawthorne items so much sought after by collectors. It is a subject of regret that Mr. Chamberlain left but little data in regard to this, though inserted in the pamphlet is a letter from George E. Woodberry, referring to it, in which he shares Mr. Chamberlain's conviction as to its authenticity as a Hawthorne item. 169. ESTHETIC PAPERS. Edited by Elizabeth P.

An interesting fact about " The Scarlet Letter " is that the original MS. (with the e.xcep- tion of the title) was destroyed by Hawthorne. In a letter from Mrs. Annie Fields to Robert S. Rantoul, June 13th, 1904, she says in part: "... Hawthorne himself told me that he put the manuscript of ' The Scarlet Letter ' up the chimney, never thinking that it would be of atiy value." 171.

" This address first appeared anonymously as a broadside in 183S, but in the period of Hawthorne's great fame, soon after the publication of ' The Scarlet Letter,' ' House of the Seven Gables,' ' Wonder-Book,' ' Snow-Image,' ' Blithedale Ro- mance,' and ' Life of Franklin Pierce,' it was reissued in this form, with a bracketed note on page 4, signed ' Printer's Devil,' which practically disclosed the authorship, and reads, ' An author has a right to say what he will about himself, but we guess he'll find that Time will have a good deal to say about him — and more fifty years hence than now.' In ' The Christmas Locket,' Boston, 1870, an unsigned article appeared on ' Father Time,' written by J. E. Babson, disclosing the authorship of this Address, but ' Time's Portraiture,' which is herewith presented to the readers of ' The Christmas Locket,' was not reprinted by its author, and is not found in any edition of his writings.

He says in part: "/ seni my Address to the Committee of the New England Society to-day, for publication. As soon as it is printed it will give 42 Morks of ©liver MeuDell llDolmes me great pleasure to send you a copy. I was not aware that T had spoken in 'defence of slavery' in that or anything else I ever pub- lished. In this address I started from the following assumptions that we are all agreed in giving every inch of ground to Freedom that we fairly can, and in reducing our own involuntary participation in slavery to the minimum consistent with our existeitce as a united peo- ple . . . I attacked a certain temper which I think is very prevalent in New England, and which is unfair to our Southern neighbors whom we have accepted as equals in the Confederacy . . . Well, sir, not three days elapsed before a leading paper edited by (a) New Ettg- land man in New York afforded all of us as good an illustration as could be desired of the spirit referred to. The Tribune, in one of its leading articles, instilled me personally in the most brutal manner — heaping all kinds of contefnpt on me, and suggesting that I should have been ducked by a Committee. Aly Address was conceived in the spirit of kindness, viy views tnay be very 'wrong, but I believe the^n true," etc. PRESENTATION COPY. 274.

There is one class of animals whose connection with the mother after birth is peculiarly close. They are born im- mature, and are caiTied about in natural sacks or pouches placed near the fountains from which they draw their support, and to which they are grafted almost as if they were part and parcel of the maternal system.

The work was translated by Irving, in collaboration with his brother Peter and George Games, and was his first literary production. A Boston critic having remarked that the translator was master of but little French and still less English, Irving humorously responded that since there were two of them, he would plead guilty to an im- perfect knowledge of French, while Games would confess to a simi- lar deficiency in English. 359.

New York: Inskeep & Bradford, 1809 * The Rare First Edition, with a fine impression of the folding view of New Amsterdam as it appeared in the year 1640. This was practically the author's first book, being the first original work brought out by him without the assistance of other hands. Like many others of the world's great literary performances, its inception was in a measure accidental. The success of Dr. Mitchell's little volume, " The Picture of New York," with its pretentious introduc- tory sketch of the City's history, prompted the youthful Irving to attempt something in the same line. The result was the immortal Knickerbocker, and it is doubtless true that the author derived more real gratification from the success of this work than from that of any of his later publications. In after years, on his return to New York, he expressed the greatest satisfaction on noting the universal celebrity of this creature of his fancy, so thoroughly had the name Knicker- bocker become identified with the city of his birth. 365. IRVING'S MANUSCRIPT NOTE - BOOK FOR "The Knickerbocker History of New York." 44 pp., crown 8vo, bound in the original limp green morocco. Labelled by Irving: ^"^ Notes for Knickerbocker " in ink on one cover, and on the other is pasted a label of white paper on which Irving has written, '■'■Azotes for Knickerbocker, 1S07-S." On the inside cover there is written: ''''Memorandum book of Washington Irving of Sunny side.''' * With the exception of a few blank leaves the book is filled with notes in ink and pencil in Irving's fine hand, the whole consti- tuting AN item of the highest LITERARY VALUE AS THE " Knickerbocker History " is considered never to have been EQUALLED BY ANY OF IrVING'S LATER WORK. It is well known that Irving and Dr. Peter Irving, his brother, planned to write this together, but the latter went to Europe for his health and the work was left entirely to Washington Irving. Their first idea was a mereyVw cC esprit in burlesque of Dr. Samuel Mitchell's "Picture of New York," and with that end in view they took vast quantities of notes, which began with an account of the aborigines. But on Dr. Irving's departure for Europe, Washington Irving dis- carded all that had reference to a later period than the Dutch Dyn- asty, and framed the work according to his own conception. It was prepared for publication at Ravenswood, and Irving had it printed 57 Ube Collection of 3. C, Cbamberlafn purposely in Philadelphia to prevent any idea of the real character of the work becoming known. Many of the passages in this Note Book are reproduced in FULL IN THE FiRST EDITION OF 1809 (see preceding lot), particularly those on pages lo and ii, and also an anecdote about the Mohawk Indians on an unnumbered page. Many memorandums occur, such as " Seek for etymology of Manhattan." " Consult Dutch History about 1610," etc. On page 6 et seq., are Irving's notes for the "Account of Diedrich Knickerbocker, as: ''^ His roo??t was full of papers which he would never suffer to be disturbed, etc.," enlarged in the 1809 edition, p. VIII, as follows: ''His room was always covered with scraps of paper and mouldy old books, laying about at sixes and sevens which he wo2ild ttever let anybody touch," etc. " Philosophic Speculations" (Chaps. I, II, Vol. I) are to be found on an unnumbered page. There are, of course, many allusions to Kieft, Stuyvesant, etc. [See Reproduction.] 366.

SPAIN, 1828 AND 1829. i2mo, half roan, leather insets for pencil, 148 pp.; lettered in ink on cover by Irving: "'April 7, 1828., to March /, i82g.'" Mainly written in ink, with a few pages in pencil. Nearly every page covered with Irving's fine handwriting. * The Diary begins, after a few notes on the inside cover and first leaf, with: " Monday, April "j, 1828, arrived last evening at Gibraltar," and continues, with the loss of scarcely a day, to Saturday, 2S (Feb., 1S29). Mainly written at Seville, where Irving staid from Nov. 3, 1S28, through April, 1829. He did not return to New York until 1832. The Diary is naturally full of allusions to some of Irving's more important works, "Conquest of Granada," " Columbus," etc., which were written in those years. After giving on Apl. 11-12 a long description of his trip from Gibraltar to Cadiz, and becoming settled in Seville, the following are found to be interesting dates in this Diary: " Apl. 22: Sat to Wilkie. . . for my portrait. Apl. 26: Wrote chap, of Hist, of Granada. May 8: All day writing Hist, of Columb. May 17: Write Col. Aspinwall. . .enclosing deed of assessment of Columb." All during August he tells of correcting the MS. of Columbus, and. 61 Zbc Collection ot 3. C, Cbamberlain Aug. II, ^/ Jif^r., describes a trip to Palos, whence Columbus sailed, visits the Convent of La Rabida, the church where Columbus watched and prayed all night after his return, and sketches the chapel (filling one page of the note book). "Sept. I: Sent off... part of MS. of 'Conquest of Granada' (ar- ranging for the copyright at 2,000 guineas). Write to Mr. Carey of Philadelphia and sent him a copy of Knickerbocker to print a a new edition from." Sept. 3 to Oct. 3 is filled with data about his work; he notes writ- ing the Introduction to the History of Granada, Columbus, Balboa, his business arrangements with Murray, etc. Oct. 12, Notes Murray's offer to pay ^1,000 a year to conduct a monthly magazine, also his offer of 100 guineas an article for con- tributions for the Quarterly Review. On Nov. 6 he visits the Library left by Columbus. "Nov. 18: At Cathedral Library, receive letter from P. I[rving] in- forming me of literary piracy of my work of Columbus." [This excited Irving to write his own abridgment of the " Columbus " and send it off], as the next 3 days his entries are: " All day writing abridg. of Columb. Dec. iS: Send off . . . MSS. of abridgt. Dec. 20: Receive letter from Col. Aspinwall, dated Dec. 2, telling me part of the MS. of Conq. of Granada is missing [Chaps. 34 and 55]. Dec. 21: Unsettled all day; thinking of sailing for England to sup- ply the loss of the MS. of Conq. of Granada. Dec. 22: Search all my papers. . . By the merest chance find a memo- randum. . .stating contents of the missing chapters." [It turned out that the two missing chapters had been sent by Irving him- self in duplicate to Ebenezer Irving.] On Dec 27 he alludes to Murray's purchase of the Chronicle of Granada, and he says on "Dec. 31 : Thus ends the year. It has been one of much literary appli- cation, and, generally speaking, one of the most tranquil in spirit of my whole life. The literary success of The Hist, of Columb. has been greater than I anticipated and gives me hopes that T have executed something which may have greater duration than I anticipate for my works of mere imagination. Jan. I : Make notes of Stories of Don Ilermanos. Jan. 3. Wrote part of Story of ' Enchanted Soldier of the Alhambra ' . . . Receive. . .a diploma as corresponding member of the Royal Academy of History. Jan. 10: Write a little at. . .the Alhambra. Jan. 13: At the Library making notes from Oviedo for Vasco Nunez (Balboa). Jan. 26: Utterly incapable of writing. . .feel out of heart in conse- quence. Feb, I: Write at Chron. of Eng. and Spain. Feb. 18: Dinner in memory of Gen. Washington." 62 Morks of Masbinaton ITnnng There is another sketch of the Church of St. Augustine, some notes and little scraps jotted down on inside covers, such as " Vote never can tell what a man is worth until you know his wife" ; ' ' Friend- ship is short-winded, but enmity can climb a high hill"; " Great names are the Jewels of history bequeathed from age to age, which mankind will not willingly give up or suffer to be impaired," etc. [See Reproduction.] 394.

New York: Printed for the Grolier Club, 1886 * This excellent publication of the Grolier Club of New York is the first edition that was printed from the Author's last revision of the text, completed at Sunnyside in 1848, the original manuscript from which it was taken being in the possession of one of the Members of the Club. The book is printed on Dutch paper from types copied from those used by the Elzevirs at Leyden in 1659 and is one of the most desirable and sought after of the Club's publications, at the same time being one of the handsomest editions ever made of this famous work. The illustrations — the frontispieces — are in three states. They in- clude views of " The Battery in 1670," "Fort New Amsterdam in 1651 " and "New Amsterdam in 1656, a facsimile of the earliest known print of New York City," etc. Only 177 copies were issued in all and the book is now rarely offered for sale. 67 Ubc Collection ot 3, C.

[However, in September, 1831, he married Mary Potter, of Portland.] " Have yoti and Pierre got through ivith your Law Book?

I am going to write a Spanish Grammar , according to my o'cn ideas." This volume of "French Plays" was his "Proverbes Dramatiques," issued in 1830. The rest of this long letter is filled with personal allu- sions. His loneliness — ' 'buried in the dust and cobioebs of this cottntry college moth and rust begin to consume me."

This term I am writing a course of lectures on modern literature — or rather on French, Spanish and Italian litera- ture ... / sent you my Grammar and Exercises and a volume of French Comedies about three iveeks since . . ." Then follows a highly interesting reference to his Earliest Poetry: ^ "/ am proud to have your favorable opinioft of those little poetic attempts ivhich date so many years back. I had long ceased to attach any kind of value to them and indeed to think of them . . . Since my return I have vjritten a piece and a half, but have not published a line. You need not be alarmed on that score. I am all prudence novj since I can form a more accurate judgment of the merit of poetry. If I ever publish a volume it ivill be many years first . . ." 71 Ube Collection of 3. C. Cbamberlafn 446. MANUEL DE PROVERBES DRAMAT- IQUES. i2mo, original cloth with label, totally uncut.

ThIS AND THE COPY IN THE LONGFELLOW Library are the only copies known of " The New England Tragedy " in prose — the first form of the two Tragedies kept unpublished until 1868, and then sent out under the altered title "John Endicott " instead of " Wen lock Christison." It is here printed as first written, in prose, and was entirely rewritten and cast into verse before publication in 1868. It finally formed the first portion of Part III of the " Christus." Collation: Title, p. (i); p. (ii), blank; " Dramatis persons, p. (iii); p. (iv), blank; text, p. (i)-i30. Size of leaf, untrimmed, 7^ by 4^ inches. Heading throughout " Wenlock Christison." Laid in is a four-page letter from Longfellow to Greene, dated " Cam- bridge, Feb. 7, 1S68," in which he says: " / have been working very hard this last week, and have almost re-written the ' New Eng- land Tragedy' in verse. Only tivo or tlu-ee scenes remain. It is greatly improved, though it is not yet what J mean it shall be . . ." [Unpublished.] The following extracts from his Journal relate to it: "Aug. 27, 1857: Finished this morning first rough draft of Wenlock Christison." " Aug. 27, 1858: I am now going to try a scene in Wenlock Christison. I write, accordingly, scene second of act first." " Mch. 14, 1859: Fields came out and I read him two acts of Wen- lock Christison, with which I do not think he was much struck." The drama was probably put in type in June, i860, and a very few copies printed to be left apparently almost un- noticed FOR nearly eight YEARS. [See Reproduction.] 508. THE SHIP OF STATE.

Only a small number privately PRINTED AND VERY RARE [only 5 copies kiiown]. On Christmas, 1864, Longfellow wrote this little poem in French to Agassiz and sent it to him with a few bottles of wine, which were impersonated in the poem as pilgrims from beyond the sea, bringing a Christmas greeting to the master of the house. This is the identical copy so SENT, as it bears ON THE TITLE [in pencil] ''F7'om Longfellow by L' Agassiz " in the hand of the latter. It would be difficult to find a volume of greater Association interest. Inserted is an eight-page letter from Longfellow to Greene, dated Dec. 27, 1864 [initialled], mainly concerning his translation of Dante, in which he says: " I send you a ' iVoel' -which I wrote the other day to go with so?>ie bottles of wine to Agassiz. As they tell their own story, I xuill not tell it for them here. I hope it will amuse you as much in reading as it did tne in writing."

Apparently unpublished and written by Longfellow for the purpose of cheering Geo. W. Greene in one of his times of despondency. He describes an evening spent alone, at Craigie Hall, in the following way: " The Cavalier e di San Lazzaro sat alone in the banquet hall of Castle Craigie . . . The repast was one that Brillat- Savarin or Lucullus might have eiivied . . . The first dish was of scollops, sent 85 Ube Collection of 3^, C.

Many of the copies of this issue of the Poem were destroyed by fire. Printed without the sanction of the publisher, who threat- ened a suit for infringement, but the case was never brought to Court. Laid in is also a very interesting letter (4 pp. i2mo) FROM Longfellow, giving particulars regarding his famous Poem: " Cambridge, Dec. sy, 18^4. I recollect perfectly when the poem of ' Excelsior ' was written, though I have forgot/en zvhen aftd where it was first published.

The above contains 41 illustrations; the i2mo only contains 15. The poem first appeared in the New York Ledger, published by Robert Bonner. Evidently the poet did not take the advice of Mr. Fields, because in Longfellow's Journal for Dec. 4th, 1S74, he says: "Fields 90 Morfts of Ibenr^ Mabswortb Xon(jfellow comes out, and I read to him ' The Hanging of the Crane.'' He advises not to publish in any periodical, but to make a small illustrated volume of it.'" Laid in is an interesting autograph letter (3 pp. i2mo): ''Camb. Dec. 28, 1814. Dear Mr. Osgood — I did not receive your letter till this morning, which will account for the tardiness of my answer. I should hardly be willing to accept your proposition regarding payments on copies of ' The Crane ' ; but will take your note on three months for any copies pub- lished after date, which will perhaps accommodate you equally well. I like the plan of a cheaper edition, if you are zvilling to undertake it on the same terms as above. . . . Yours truly Henry W. Longfellow.'" The Hanging of the Crane was published in London first, to Longfellow's great annoyance. [See the " Letters," Feb. 25, 1874. Lot No. 552.] [In the letters to G. W. Greene — see lot 552] — Longfellow humor- ously says: "/ have submitted 'The Hanging of the Crane' to the microscopic eyes of T. B.

While o'erliis features, like a mask. The quilted sunshine and leaf-shade Moved, as the boughs above him swayed, And clothed him, till he seemed to be A figure woven in tapestry. So sumptuously was he arrayed In that magnificent attire Of sable tissue flaked with fire. Like a magician he appeared, A conjuror without book or beard, And while he plied his magic art, — For it was magical to me, — I stood in silence and apart.

" May 31, 1877, " Finished wheel." Aug. 3, " The poem ' Keramos' has gone to the Harper's."

A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF 508 ORIGI- NAL LETTERS AND 37 POSTAL CARDS FROM LONGFELLOW TO GEORGE W. GREENE, near/y 400 of which have never been published. * This remarkable correspondence covers the whole of Longfellow's life from his 23rd year (1830) to the year of his death (1882), or a period of more than fifty years. They begin with his professorship in Bowdoin College, Maine, and continue through all his travels in Europe, his professorship at Harvard University and his subsequent home life. They reflect every aspect of his public and private life and furnish most interesting and important information concerning his literary work, his travels, his contact with Lowell, Emerson, Holmes, Dickens, Howells, Norton and a host of others, his methods of work, indeed the whole range of his wonderfully rich and gifted mind is exhibited, and the experiences of his career illuminated by these personal revelations of himself to his intimate friend. Mr. Greene was the grandson of Gen. Nathanael Greene of Revolutionary fame. He was a native of Rhode Island, a graduate of Brown University, at one time United States Consul at Rome, later a member of the Rhode Island Legislature and an author of distinction. Perhaps, after all, his greatest title to future remembrance will be these letters which indicate so clearly his intimate friend- ship with the Poet whose reputation is world-wide and whose fame will grow with tlie passing of the years. He came frequently from the library in the Windmill Tower of his East Greenwich, R. I. home, to visit Longfellow in Cambridge and Nahant (his summer home), welcomed from association, likeness of tastes and pursuits and agree- ment of opinion. In Greene's historical works and his Biography of his grandfather. Gen. Nathanael Greene, Longfellow took a deep interest and when despondency and infirmity came to Greene, did much to make those years more comfortable and bright. When Charles Sum- 95 Morfts of Ibenn? Ma^svvortb XouotcUow ner died in 1874 and left a legacy to Longfellow's daugh- ters, they shared it equally with the daughters of Greene, and allusions to material financial assistance rendered by Longtellow frequently appear in the course of this corre- spondence. Nearly 400 of these tetters have never b:een published. Mr. Samuel Longfellow had access to a part of the collec- tion in preparing his Life and Memoirs of his brother. He printed some of them, with extracts from others. No other use has ever been made of them save in compiling the Chamberlain Bibliography of Longfellow's Works, just issued. The early letters are signed in full or signed "Longfellozv," but the majority of them are simply initialled "H. W. L." The letters came from the Greene family and are in the finest possible condition. It is believed that so large and important a collection of American literary autograph letters has never before been ofifered for sale. Their value from a literary standpoint can hardly be overesti- mated. The scope of a catalogue description will allow only a bare outline of a very few of the more important letters, as follows: 1832. Oct. 7 ; Bowdoin, 3 pp. 4to. '^ All I have in view at present is a Collection of French Tales ta take the place of the ' Ministre de Wakefield ' and a selection of French poetry to complete the course ..." Dec. 23 : " In August I shall be in Boston . . . to deliver the Phi Beta Kappa poem in Cambridge ..." 1833. March 9: Bowdoin, with seal. Letter of the highest import- ance.

A YEAR'S LIFE. i2mo, original boards and label, top and bottom edges uncut, as issued (one joint cracked and back somewhat rubbed). Boston: C. C. Little and J, Brown, 1841 Presentation copy with inscription in Lowell's auto- graph. " TO ALFRED TENNYSON, FROM THE AUTHOR, BOSTON, U. S." Tennyson and Keats were the two modern English poets, after Spenser, for whom Lowell expressed the greatest preference, and with the former he early enjoyed a personal friendship which con- tinued throughout his life. In 1841 Lowell, in a letter to E. A. Duyckinck, referring to a projected American reprint of Tennyson's poems, writes: " I think it tvould be a pity to reprint his poems at all — for he is poor, and thai would deprive him of what little profit he might make by their sale in this country . . . I do not wish you to state your authority for this — but you 7nay depend on it for my author- ity is the poet himself.'" This letter reveals the degree of intimacy which existed between the poets at that early day and the spirit, per- 105 xrbe Collection of 5, C, Cbamberlain haps, with which the young American, then in obscurity, forwarded for the reassuring commendation of his friend a copy of his " first book of poems."

Wl)ittier. i p. 4to, with leaf of superscription, (damaged by having the signature torn off, which also tore away the beginning of the letter on the opposite side), Octo- ber, 1842. Accompanied by a pencilled copy of Lowell's 106 TlClorlis of James IRussell Xowell letter to Rev. J. S. Dvvight on the same subject as verifying this date. * Highly interesting and important letter, in which Lowell an- nounces his determination to edit the " Pioneer," of which only three numbers appeared (January, February and March, 1843), and asking Whittier for contributions. This request met with instant response, and it would seem that Whittier immediately started to write a poem, as parts of two verses are scribbled by him on the leaf of superscrip- tion. Lowell says in part: " A Magazine under my Editorial charge, which is to be called the ^Pioneer,' (Sr^ is to be a free magazine. I mean that it shall take a high stand in Art &r also hold itself free to advaftce or comment on all the great movements of the age. It is to keep up with the age and not behifidit — nay, if possible it shall run before, as its name would indi- cate. If the undertaking succeeds, I shall pay the authors higher than any other magazine in the land, regarding things and not names cr= paying for an article's -worth inspirit rather than its current value in specie. "May I hope yoti will send me something for my first nu7nber? Any little poem that you may have by you will be acceptable to me. I cannot promise to pay you very much at first, for the expense of getting tip such a work t?iakes large holes in small capital. But I trust that the hope of aiding a good Endeavor tvill be enough to yoti,^' etc. Followed by an interesting explanation of the reason for Lowells writing his "Sonnets " in the May Democratic Review: " Oil read- ing Wordsivorth^s in favor of bloodshed, though some parts of them were almost unintelligible by the fact not being stated. I wish I were in your District 10 vote FOR YOU AS Member of Congress." 580. THE PIONEER. | A | Literary and Critical Maga- zine. I J. R. Lowell and R. Carter, | Editors and Proprie- tors.

The sixth stanza is a wonderful characterization of Lincoln, and it is said by Mr. Scud- der that it was not recited at Harvard, in fact, not even having been written at the time of delivery, but was added almost immediately afterwards.

I hope, if this lovely weather lasts, to give you a poem for September, but in the heat, when I swale like a tallow candle, I am not up to such expansion." The poem referred to was, in all probability, "The Cathedral," which the author completed in the November of the same year, 646. TRIBUTES to the Memory of J. P.

An attempt has been made to distinguish between the issue oi the above and the lot follow- ing, though Mr. Chamberlain seems to have accepted as final an ex- pression from the publisher that the two issues were given out simul- taneously, the only difference being in that the above was on larger and finer paper, uncut, and published at a higher price. No copies were issued in paper in uncut state. Laid in is an autograph letter from Charles Eliot Norton referring to the above, in which he inclines to the belief that Mr. Stevens, the publisher, was the author of the preface, and not Mr. Lowell, as has been recently supposed. 656.

By Elizabeth Chase. lamo, half roan gilt, uncut, n, p. Pub- lished for the Editor b}^ E. J. Coale, Richard J, Metchett, Printer, 1821, * Contains " Monody on the Death of General Joseph Sterett, by a very Young Gentleman of Baltimore," signed " Edgar, "and twenty other poems by the same hand. "A Dream," "To Sorrow," "Twilight," "A Lily," " To Despondency," etc. A note to one of the pieces states that they were composed by a youth of eighteen. These poems have been attributed to Edgar Allan Poe, and the age, given as "eighteen," is possibly a fiction to disguise the extreme youth of the poet. Toe at this period was writing verse, though still ai school ; for it is related that about this time Mr. Allan showed a manuscript volume of poems written by him to the young ladies of Richmond. Though as yet no evidence has been brought forward to prove conclusively that these poems were the productions of Poe, still, upon a close examination of them, and particularly after a com- parison of them with the " Fugitive Pieces " (written in 1821) and published with "Tamerlane" in 1827, it is difficult to believe other- wise than that they were by the same hand. The decided preference in the choice of doleful and melancholy themes, the frequent employ- ment of imagery drawn from the beauties of nature — the heavens, flowers, etc., and the occasional reiteration of liquid sounds and alliterative combinations in the versification here exhibited, it seems, all tend to strengthen this belief. Rare. PRESENTATION COPY FROM ROSE M. POE, SISTER OF E. A. POE. 704. AL AARAAF, TAMERLANE AND MINOR POEMS. 8vo, original boards, totally uncut. Baltimore: Hatch & Dunning, 1829 * One of the finest copies known, and with autograph inscription, '^Presented to E. . . . by her friend Rose M, Poe." Enclosed in a case made to represent a volume beautifully bound in full dark green crushed levant, elaborately gilt with broad gold borders and center-piece, ornamental back, broad inside borders in gilt dentelle, leather joints, cream-colored watered-silk doubles and end papers, solid gold edges, by Bradstreet. This case in turn preserved in a dark green solander case of polished mo- 126 TAMERL.ANE, AMD lAinoi^ pozifis. BV XXDOAR A. POE. BALTIMORE: HATCH & DUNNING. J 829. [See No. 704.] rocco gilt by the same binder. Apparently an original idea of Mr. Chamberlain. The case, in point of beauty and delicate execu- tion, seems a fitting resting place for what he unquestionably consid- ered the piece de resistance of his collection. This copy was bought at the sale of the library of Mr. Frederick W. French, of Boston, in igoi, and the excessive rarity of the item is too well known to require any particular notice here, but few copies being in existence. The inscription, however, by one so near to the author, adds a personal interest to this copy which we believe is possessed by but one other. [See Reproduction.] PRESENTATION COPY FROM POE. 705. POEMS I by I Edgar A. Poe. | (rule) | Toutlemonde a raison. — Rochefoucault. | Second Edition. [ (rule) | New York: | Published by Elam Bliss. | (rule) | 1831. i6mo, original cloth, top edge and some leaves uncut as issued (text somewhat time-stained). New York: Published by Elam Bliss, 1831 * Presentation copy, with inscription in the author's AUTOGRAPH— " MR. THEO: S. FAY, WITH THE AUTHOR'S COMPLIMENTS." Also, with presentation inscription (in pencil on title), "David Graham, Jr., from his friend Theo. S.Fay." The present volume purported to be a second edition of the Balti- more issue [1829] of " Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, etc." though it differs widely from that edition in many points, materially by the omission of six short poems and the addition of the first versions of " To Helen," " The Sleeper," " Lenore," "The Valley of Unrest," "The City in the Sea," and " Israfel," and, with considerable alterations and new lines in the poems, " AI Aaraaf" and " Tamerlane." The book was prepared for the press only a short time before the author's expulsion from the military academy at West Point, and it is said that the publisher undertook its issue only on the strength of a subscription gotten up among the poet's fellow-cadets there, the volume being " respectfully dedicated " to them. Some copies have the words, " The End," on the last page, though this copy is without it, signifying, no doubt, one of the earliest issues. Enclosed in a dark green morocco solander case. Very rare.

Mr. Chamberlain was evidently satisfied of the truth of the above statement, as he refers to it among his papers as corroborative, and it must be presumed that before finally accepting the book as a genuine presentation copy, from so eminent a man as Lincoln, he had exhausted every possible source of information regarding its authen- ticity, as was his rule, in all such matters. 728.

" Some fiftee^i or twenty years since my publisher became em- bar asscd and I wrote tivo short tales to aid him. He printed thefn under the title of ^ Tales for Fifteen, by ^ Jane Morgan.^ One of these stories, rather a feeble one I fear, was called ' Heart,' the other 'Imagination.' This tale was written one rainy day, half asleep and half awake, but I retain rather a favorable impression of it. If you can find a copy of the book, you might think ' Imagination ' worth reprinting." Also mentions Longfellow, and indulges in some severe strictures on John Murray, the English publisher, of whom he says, " Mr. Murray is a great man only aviong very little men." The letter has the address and post-mark. 18 Morfts ot James dfeuimore Cooper 152. THE DEERSLAYER; OR THE FIRST WAR- PATH. A Tale. 2 vols. i2mo, original cloth and labels.

Where brighter fountains dash their diamond beads On beds of amaranth, and thy mounting star Tops the imperial hills that rise afar: I, with the desert and its tameless steeds Shall mated be — shall start the eagle's flight On stormy crags, and when the star-lamps shine. Sleep in the cradle of the chanting pine; — Yet the same goal is ever in our sight. And we shall meet at last, though parted long, Still climbing, side by side, the sacred peak of Song.

Post Svo, contemporary half calf gilt, only 100 copies issued. Text followed by Whitman's "Leaf of Advertisement." Author s Edition. Camden, New Jersey, 1876 *A Copy of remarkable interest, being Walt Whitman's OWN copy (for which he helped set the type in the Camden print- ing office) prepared by him for another edition, with many cor- rections, erasures and additions in his hand and with a cabinet Ube GoUection of 5. C Cbamberlafn photograph inserted which he has signed and on which he has written the date of his birth, May 31, 1819. No revised edition of Two Rivulets has been issued, though many of the separate poems have appeared in later editions. So NUMEROUS ARE HIS ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS that it is im- possible to mention more than a few, and as some of them ap- parciitly have never been printed, their importance will readily be recognized. The original title-page commences with a two- line verse, but WTiitman has added another couplet: (Thou, Reader, rambling hither. My living hand I hereby clasp in thine.) In addition he has scored through the words "Centennial Songs" and written above "Memoranda of the JVar" (See Reproduction). In the preface he has scored on both margins the passage begin- ning "Then I meant Leaves of Grass, as published, to be the Poem of Identity, etc.", evidently for the purpose of emphasizing the statement. A passage in the Preface (page 13) wherein he writes of recognizing the still higher fact "The Eternal Soul of Man" is emphasized in the same manner. Other passages throughout the volume are similarly marked, with some word added or struck out, indicating his latest beliefs or aspirations; very few are changed — the alterations being more in the nature of confirmation or emphasis. One of the best-known of Whitman's poems is the famous Cen- tennial Song: "After all, not to create only," and it is apparent that the author had been intently considering this. The first verse is lightly pencilled through, whether or not for the purpose of omission it is difficult to tell, and at the top of the page he has written the following additional verse [part of which appears in later editions] : "Labor's religious temples these ! Ah, little recks the laborer How near his work is holding him to God, The Laborer of Time, Space, All." In the third verse Whitman has struck out all the lines after the words "She comes" and in the same way later has scored through the lines "And I can hear ivhat may-be you do not," etc., ending with "journey'd considerable," apparently indicating Whitman's extreme dissatisfaction with this poem. Other lines are scored over to be omitted from later editions, some of which have been retained. On the reverse of the title of "As a Strong Bird on Pinions Free" Whitman has written several lines evidently intended as notes for an introduction. Many words are rewritten, making in- coherent commencement, though the sense is plain enough: "All my poems merging and finishing in the meditations of Passage to 84 MorR5 of Malt imbltmau hidia as the embouchure and finish and final explanation of all that have gone before, and the final" (not concluded). "Memoranda During the War" he has left practically un- touched, but one alteration having been made. That is in the account of the assassination of Lincoln, referring to the play ("Our American Cousin") he writes of it as a "singularly ivritten com- position," "written" he has changed to "witless." On "Ashes of Soldiers" he has pencilled "JVritten March 1870," and on President Lincoln's Burial Hymn, "JFhen Lilacs last in the Dooryard bloomed," he has pencilled "JVritten May 1866." The commencement of "A Carol of Harvest for l86y" evidently did not satisfy him, for it has been struck out and then marked "stet" (for the printer to leave as written). Another verse is written in ink at the top of the page, and another version of the same verse pencilled on a slip of paper that he has pasted in, with one or two notes on the leaf opposite referring to the same. First, apparently, the title had been thought over, and as alternative titles he has written "A Harvest Carol," and "A Western Harvest Song the year following Peace." A line "As at thy Portals Death" has also been written as a sug- gestion, but altered to "No more the Wars and Deaths I lately {or erenvhile) chanted." The verse as written in ink, and presumably as his final thought is as follows: "A song no more of the War! A song of the teeming harvest following close A song of the serried regiments changed by magic A song of the good green grass." These additions and alterations are fundamental data in the study of Whitman's writings; no criticism can be of permanent value without their being taken into consideration. Future essay- ists of the "Good Gray Poet" should study this volume with all Whitman's alterations and corrections in forming an estimate of his position in the literature of America. Whitman presented this copy to Sidney Morse, the sculptor, and later it passed into the possession of E. T. Billings, the Boston artist. [See Reproduction.] 669. NOVEMBER BOUGHS.
