NUGGETS AND DUST PANNED OUT IN CALIFORNIA BY ..

by [Bierce, Ambrose]: "Dod Grile" [pseud]

  • Used
London: Chatto & Windus, 1873. [2],vi,175,[1],[8]pp. Small octavo. Pictorial wrappers. Rebacked at an early date with plain paper, wrappers chipped and frayed at edges, with tear at lower edge, occasional marginal nicks and short tears, two leaves of terminal catalogue carelessly opened, probably lacking the front true free endsheet; frankly, a rather dim copy, but textually sound. Enclosed in a rather eccentric half calf slipcase. First edition, BAL's printing B (no assigned priority) of Bierce's second book. Published pseudonymously like its predecessor, THE FIEND'S DELIGHT, this collection is additionally represented as edited by "J. Milton Sloluck," adding another layer to Bierce's ruse. Both were assembled from his various contributions to California periodicals. Although originally announced for publication by John Camden Hotten, the publisher of THE FIEND'S DELIGHT, Hotten's death placed it among the assets taken over by Chatto & Windus and seen to completion. No comparable U.S. edition appeared, and it is among Bierce's least common publications. BAL 1099. STARRETT 2. BAIRD & GREENWOOD 251. TOPP III, p.33.
