(HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL). [BRIDGE, HORATIO].

Journal of an African Cruiser; Comprising Sketches of the Canaries, the Cape de Verds, Liberia, Madeira, Sierra Leone, and Other Places of Interest on the West Coast of Africa. By an Officer of the U.S. Navy. Edited by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

New-York & London: Wiley and Putnam, 1845. - Octavo, full contemporary tan calf with a gilt-titled black leather label on the spine. The covers are rubbed and scuffed and the number "831" is penned in an early hand at the top right of the front cover. viii & 179 pages. The front hinge is cracked and there is some scattered occasional foxing with some slight damage to the bottom edge of 2 leaves which does not affect the text. The name of an early library "The Norristown Library Company" (established in 1794) is penned on the front pastedown. A good copy. First edition, first printing of this uncommon Nathaniel Hawthorne item. [Clark A14.1.ai]; [BAL 7597].This copy differs from Clark's "presumed" first printing only in that the preface precedes the contents. As the copy at hand was rebound at an early date, this discrepancy may thus be explained. The imprint and text on the copyright page, which is of significance in determining the first printing, has the 4-line copyright notice centered in the middle: "Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1845m by / Wiley & Putnam, / In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States, for the Southern District of / New-York." As per Clark, the printer's and stereotyper's notices are present at bottom left and right of the copyright page: "R. Craighead's Power Press / 112 Fulton Street" and "Stereotyped by T.B. Smith / 216 William Street". Also, the pagination "v" and "vi" are duplicated. In addition, Clark opines that "a sample collation on the Hinman machine suggests the possibility of progressive type batter in support of the priority tentatively assigned (e.g., broken 'A' in running head, p. 7; missing second '7' in page number '77'; broken 'R' in running head, p. 97)." In other words, the type deteriorated with subsequent printings and perhaps even within the first print run. The flaws noted above are not present in the copy at hand which would thus indicate an earlier priority.

"Mr. Hawthorne Robbed" in Harper's Weekly (March 21, 1857)

New York, Harper's Weekly, 1857, First Edition. Disbound , Near Fine, Volume 1, No. 12. Complete and original disbound issue in near fine condition with light wrinkling to spine, looks remarkably nearly new One paragraph describes the robbery of Nathaniel Hawthorne's house in Liverpool and makes mention of his plans to tour Europe before returning home. This issue's lead article, "Are We As Great a Country As We Think We Are?" was inspired by a recent War Department report entitled "Explorations in the Dacota Country in the Year 1855, by Lieutenant G. K. Warren, Topographical Engineer of the Sioux Expedition." Basically, the article presents an intriguing description of the Nebraska Territory, especially the "Bad Lands," where "'the scenery is silent, desolate, and depressing to the spirits.' We have no idea of such land in this part of this world." Warren makes an interesting recommendation: "'the Territory is occupied by powerful tribes of roving savages, and is only adpated to a mode of life such as theirs, and it must long remain an Indian country.'" The article paints a dismal picture of the territory, one that certainly contradicts the still persistent image of the romantic West held around the world. Another interesting article describes the city of Washington as "full of the most violent and preposterous contradictions," in particular, power and intelligence (its "two deities") as well as ignorance, vulgarity, and barbarism. But "the chief curse of Washington, its most detestable abomination, is that of office-seeking; and of this it is difficult to say where it is more pernicious to the giver or to the asker." Also discussed is the "unhealthy" physical environment of the low grounds on which most of it is built: "in fact the whole city should have been placed on the high ground behind it." Perhaps most interesting is a lengthy article about the French artist Horace Vernet," who has been invited to paint our national pictures in our national capitol." Includes a portrait of Vernet himself. Also, rather negative review of Charles Kingsley's novel, "Two Years Ago," recently published in America, although at the end the reviewer admits he could not put the book down, once he started reading it. Also, "A Ranger's Life in Nicaragua: A Personal Narrative" (pp. 188-189) and a travel article, "A Cruise to the Somers Islands" with ten illustrations of its people, places and customs, including one of a girl's legs with one leg suffering from elephantiasis.

The United States Magazine and Democratic Review. Volumes 1 - 15

Washington DC, Langtree & O'Sullivan, 1838 - 1844; 1848. First Edition. 1/2 calf. Fifteen octavo volumes bound in fourteen in half calf and marbled boards with calf corners. Includes the first or early publications of 22 stories or articles by Hawthorne (including "The Celestial Railroad" and "Artist of the Beautiful"), 7 stories by Walt Whitman (including "Bervance"), as well as a number of appearances by Bryant, Longfellow, Lowell, and Whittier and one each by Thoreau ("The Landlord") and Poe ("Marginalia"). 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 .

¶ This is a newspaper published for the Essex Institute Fair in eight parts. Parts 2 and 3 (at pp. 14 and 28) contain a two-part letter from Hawthorne, addressed to "My Dear Cousin" and dated August 28, 1860. In it, Hawthorne explains that, while he is unable to write a story for the benefit of his "native townspeople" because his "mind seems to have lost the plan and measure of those little narratives [i.e. Twice-Told Tales and the Mosses from an old Manse], in which it was once so unprofitably fertile," but, so as not to let them down, will attempt "to describe a spot near Salem, on which it was once my purpose to locate such a dreamy fiction as you now demand of me." Hawthorne goes on to describe a hill once known as "Browne's Folly."
