About This Item
Boston: J.T. Buckingham, 1835. First Edition. Wrappers. Near fine. 23 vols. 1st appearances in original wrappers of 12 Hawthorne stories in The New-England Magazine, featuring tales from the allegorical (Young Goodman Brown) to a precursor to the detective story (Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe). 2 complete years missing only the Jan. 1835 issue (The Gray Champion). Despite light wear and a few minor repairs, in near fine condition (extraordinary). 2 half morocco cases. These are the 1st printings of the stories that brought Hawthorne his first fame, and a run of this length in original wrappers is unheard of, and even single individual issues from 1834 and 1835 are rare. Ex-Rufus Choate (ownership inscriptions to an 1835 issue). Robert H. Hay (bookplates). Ref: Clark D9, D10, D12-D25.
Contains the following:
Mr. Higginbotham's Catastrophe (as an interior part of The Story-Teller # 1 & 2)
Old News Nos. 1-3
My Visit to Niagara
Young Goodman Brown
Wakefield
The Ambitious Guest
Graves and Goblins
A Rill from the Town-Pump
The Old Maid in the Winding Sheet
The Vision of the Fountain
Sketches from Memory Nos. 1 & 2
The Devil in Manuscript.
