STEFFENS. Lincoln

The Letters of Lincoln Steffens

New York, Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1938. Hardcover. Complete 2-volume set. Edited by Ella Winter and Granville Hicks. Memorandum by Carl Sandburg. Small 4to. Burgundy cloth with gilt spine lettering, dust jackets, slipcase with paper label. xxiv, 522pp; viii, pp. 525-1072. Illustrations. Fine/very good/very good. Both volumes tight and pristine, while dust jackets show mild rubbing and spine wear and slipcase is bright and superb. Quite handsome first edition of this large assemblage of the crusading investigative journalist and muckraker's correspondence. Best of all, this copy bears the bookplate on each front pastedown of GEORGE WEIDA SPOHN (1879-?), long-time head of the English Department at St. Olaf College and author of verse collections "Milestones and Other Poems" (1936) and "Second Fall" (1940). In March 1935 Sandburg paid his third visit to St. Olaf College and stayed at Spohn's house; he slept on a lower bunk bed, and noticing the many signatures on the wooden slats above him he pencilled a line from one of his poems and signed it. Similarly, this unique copy bears a Sandburg scrap, a charming 3" X 5" slip (two-hole punched at top) tipped to half-title page of first volume on which Sandburg penned a note to himself in his idiosyncratic shorthand. In full (translation to follow): "Irishmn qrls w Englishmn / 'If y dont hld yr tongue / I'll break yr impenetrable / head & let brains out / yr empty skull.'" (Irishman quarrels with Englishman / 'If you don't hold your tongue / I'll break your impenetrable / head and let brains out / your empty skull.) Nicely penned tight and small in brown ink. The Illinois poet and Lincoln biographer (1878-1967) often filled his pockets with all manner of notes he wrote to himself on odd scraps of paper at hand: Shopping lists (ideas, not groceries!), things to do, unusual words and odd turns of phrase he liked, ideas for poems -- anything and everything that struck his fancy in some way. These private notes penned to himself are extremely scarce and desirable. .

STEFFENS, Lincoln

The Autobiography of Lincoln Steffens

New York, Harcourt, Brace and Company, (1931). First Edition. Hardcover. Fifth Printing. Complete in one volume, illustrated. Superbly INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Steffens, filling the front pastedown, to wealthy Boston surgeon and socialite, Dr. Le Roi Goddard Crandon, and his wife, Mina "Margery" Crandon, perhaps the most famous psychic medium of her time who claimed that she channeled her dead brother, Walter Stinson. In addition, a typescript of a letter from Steffens is pasted on the front endpaper opposite the inscription which transcribes Steffens's somewhat difficult handwriting. The inscription reads in full: "To L. R. G. and Margery Crandon, & to/Walter, my old friends:/You, Crandon, you know all of this, you are/of some of it, as I am a part of your unwritten/Life, & of Margery's, & Walter's. That I may/say, may I not? And surely I may sat that/we, all four of us old friends -- we have looked/& looked again, at life, & at death, too, trying/to see clear through to the quiet smile/that is back of & before it. At any rate, you/three will understand perfectly why it is that/mine is a smiling tale./Yours affectionately/Lincoln Steffens/Carmel, California/March, 1932." . Very Good in a soiled, edgeworn, near Good dustwrapper, the front flap detached but present Margery Crandon became well known as her alleged paranormal skills were touted by Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and were disproved by legendary magician Harry Houdini. Crandon was investigated by members of the American Society for Psychical Research and employees of Scientific American who concluded that she had no genuine paranormal ability and likely was involved in outright deception.
