In addition there are articles on or reviews of Tocqueville's DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA, Texas and Mexico, a projected canal on the isthmus (Panama) connecting the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, as well as a number of articles on banking and finance. The May 1839 issue contains a description by Samuel Morse of daguerreotypes, recounting his visit that year to Daguerre in Paris, marking only the second mention of the new invention of photography in America. Illustrated with 51 (of 53) engraved portraits and two tinted lithographs of the Yucatan. The set lacks four issues from the last volume, 1844, and includes issue 95 from Volume 22, 1848, which has coverage of the Mexican War. Contents mostly clean with just a few pages foxed including the portraits. Leather is dry on some spines and has not been treated but all covers are tight and there is very little flaking. A Very Good set of this important periodical .

BRYANT, WILLIAM CULLEN GADO, FRANK (EDITOR).

William Cullen Bryant: An American Voice.

Antoca Press: 2006. Softcover. Brand new book. The first collection of Bryant's writings to be published since 1935, and the most comprehensive critical study of Bryant's poetry to date. Simply stated, this book will introduce the surprising literary figure behind a familiar name. Though a mere vestige of William Cullen Bryant's fame survives through inclusion of Thanatopsis and perhaps one or two other poems in school anthologies, the nineteenth century celebrated him as one of its great men. He not only deserved that acclaim, but he was actually a more important writer than his century recognized. Half of this volume consists of a Bryant showcase. Three dozen poems chosen from the hundreds he produced reveal him as a revolutionary of prosody seeking refuge from Calvinism in a pantheistic God. Extracts from his criticism are a homily promoting the prospects for American literary nationalism. Also included here is a pair of his tales which, although almost totally unknown, are among the best work in the genre written before the Civil War. The other half of this new volume presents a concise biography and, of special interest, three groundbreaking new critical studies. Gado argues that Bryant is the Founding Father of American poetry. As a poet of nature, Bryant played a literary role comparable to the influence on art exercised by his good friend Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School. But perhaps even more important was the example Bryant set for Walt Whitman in a relationship explored here for the first time. A much briefer piece discovers the consistent philosophical belief addressed by a lifetime of poems. The third essay is unique in its consideration of Bryant's short fiction, which has never before received attention. William Cullen Bryant: An American Voice is a landmark publication. Frank Gado's first-rate selection of William Cullen Bryant's poetry and prose and his persuasive essays on Bryant's contribution to American prosody and culture restore Bryant, at last, to his rightful place in American literary history as the philosophical poet too long overlooked. An essential volume.: Brenda Wineapple, author of Hawthorne: A Life Gado's fine selection of Bryant's writing is at once an introduction to his work and a critical recognition of Bryant as a singular force in the making of American poetry.: James M. Cox, Professor Emeritus of English, Dartmouth College Frank Gado was for many years professor of American literature at Union College and editor at Union College Press. He was educated at Dartmouth College and Duke University and is the author or editor of a number of books including First Person: Interviews with Six American Writers (1976) and The Passion of Ingmar Bergman (1986). Before Whitman, before Twain, before Frost, there was Bryant, [whose] talents and innovations warrant the closer scrutiny that Gado gives him. : Valley News
