KEY, FRANCIS SCOTT,

Autograph Letter, Signed, to James S. Lane Regarding Monies Owed to Mr. Jones.

Georgetown, may 29, 1819. 8vo. [1]p. manuscript letter on a 8 x 7-3/4 inch sheet, addressed on the verso in Key's hand as well. Old folds, remnants of a wax seal. Very good. In a red half morocco and cloth folding case, spine gilt.
¶ Key was a respected attorney and only an amateur poet when he decided to join the District of Columbia militia in 1814, which led to the writing of what became known as The Star Spangled Banner. After the War, he returned to practicing law and had a flourishing practice in 1819. This document stands as evidence of this professional side of the famous poet. Reading in part "Jones who occupies your lot has called on me for 71.96 the amount which he has paid for taxes & for the rough fence he has put up..."

Philadelphia, Moses Thomas, 1814. First Edition. calf. Contemporary tree calf with gilt-lettered red morocco spine label; 524 pages. Illustrated with an engraved title page and several engraved portraits. The first appearance of "The Star Spangled Banner," here titled "Defence of Fort McHenry," in any publication other than a few newspaper appearances.

Front joint split but cover still held strongly by the cords. Very Good The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889 and the President in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on 3 March 1931. Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today, with the fourth ("O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand..") added on more formal occasions. The fourth stanza includes the line "And this be our motto: In God is our Trust.". The United States adopted "In God We Trust" as its national motto in 1956.

"The Defence of Fort McHenry" [later known as "The Star-Spangled Banner"] in The Analectic Magazine of November, 1814.

Philadelphia: Moses Thomas, 1814. The first appearance in magazine or book form of the "Star-Spangled Banner" (entitled "The Defense of Fort M'Henry"). 8vo. In Volume Four of The Analectic Magazine, July-December, 1814. Engraved general title, and 4 frontispiece portraits for Aug., Sept., Nov. and Dec. issues. 524 pp. Contemporary sheep with red lettering piece, worn and scuffed. Lacking blank end papers and pp 317-18. Contemporary notes on pastedowns, and an amateur pen-and-ink caricature of Sir George Lyttelton. Closed tear across p. 421, with no loss. Contents foxed and browned, with some marginal chipping. Pp. 433-4, in which "Fort M'Henry" appears, are lightly foxed. Three relatively insignificant words cancelled in a contemporary hand (to better fit the meter of the tune, "To Anacreon in Heaven"?).
¶ Penned on the occasion of the successful defense of Fort McHenry against the British in September, 1814, Key's lyrics - set to the tune of an old British drinking song known as "To Anacreon in Heaven" - were initially published as a broadside, only two copies of which have survived. It appeared in newspapers that same month, and was first published here in magazine form in November of that year, because, as the editors of the Analectic put it their introduction, the song's "merit entitles [it] to preservation in some more permanent form than the columns of a daily paper." Key' poem was collected in two anthologies later in 1814 (THE NATIONAL SONGSTER, and THE AMERICAN MUSE), but this is its very first appearance in "a more permanent form." Indeed, here's one copy which has survived of what ultimately became known as "The Star-Spangled Banner", adopted as the official national anthem of the United States in 1931. A landmark piece of American mythmaking
