Contact seller5-star sellerPoor condition. Sold as a group only being six volumes issued within author Samuel G. Goodrich's twenty volume set PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY. All six by Boston publisher James E. Hickman whose firm was active from 1844 to 1853 but who was only at the 12 School Street address between 1844 to 1848 (none of the six have dated title…pages but do have copyright dates on title page versos). Hardcovers: approx. H 18cm x L 11.5cm. Contemporary dark brown cloth boards with varying surface losses/abrasions; each volume's spine cloth unfortunately perished leaving underlying paper and/or cloth back-strips exposed. Ownership signatures on front pastedowns; foxing, soiling, and stains. Bindings still fairly firm despite poor exterior cosmetics. Jpegs emailed upon request to clarify condition. Goodrich was an immensely popular author in the mid-nineteenth century with the books comprising his PARLEY'S CABINET LIBRARY being amongst his most successful titles. Boston publisher Bradbury Soden & Co. was first to publish this Parley series but other publishers in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia soon followed. These Hickman imprints are among the scarcest for the series and kept as a group with that consideration. ***** {BOOK #1 in the series} FAMOUS MEN OF MODERN TIMES: BY THE AUTHOR OF PETER PARLEY'S TALES.

Goodrich was an American bookseller, publisher, and writer well known during his lifetime for his engaging educational works for children. Writing under the pen name Peter Par…ley, Goodrich crafted fictional stories grounded in the science and knowledge of the time. Goodrich's The Balloon Travels of Robert Merry, published in this format in 1856, appeared serially in his Merry's Magazine in the years prior. Goodrich incorporated geography, aeronautics, and general science into a ballooning adventure tale across Europe with intrepid young travelers, whose ages were around those of Goodrich's intended readers."--Smithsonian ; "Largely self-educated, Goodrich became a bookseller and publisher at Hartford and later in Boston. There, beginning in 1828, he published for 15 years an illustrated annual, the Token, to which he was a frequent contributor both in prose and verse. The Token contained some of the earliest work of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry W. Longfellow. Goodrich published Peter Parley's Magazine (1832-44) and then merged it into his Merry's Museum, founded in 1841 and for a time edited by Louisa May Alcott. In 1827 he began, under the name of Peter Parley, his series of books for the young, which embraced geography, biography, history, science, and miscellaneous tales. He was the sole composer of comparatively few of these, but in his Recollections of a Lifetime, 2 vol. (1856), he wrote that he was "the author and editor of about 170 volumes," of which about 7,000,000 copies had been sold, and gave a list both of the works of which he was the author or editor and of the spurious works published under his name. He was widely imitated, especially in England, where seven Peter Parleys held the field. Goodrich was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1836 and of the state Senate in 1837. In 1851-53 he was consul at Paris, where he remained until 1855. ' - Britanica ; 5 plates laid in ; slightly knocked blind stamp tooling ; water stain on front ; FAIR only. Book.

Add to basket2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The letter concerns Goodrich's 'The Tribute Book: A Record of the Munificence, Self-sacrifice and Patriotism of the American People during the War for the Union' (1865). He is sending 'proofs of the pages Corson desires to see. 'The first few pages are printed & cannot be change…d: in the others, anything vital can be corrected.'; He thinks Corson 'will find that I have fallen into none of the errors you are apprehensive of'. To do so would have been 'unpardonable', as Goodrich 'had full information from which to make my articles'. He has taken great pains with the book, and hopes 'that it will come from the press correct in all matters of fact'. He has 'gone so far as to have the orthography of every name mentioned compared with the directories in all cities which publish one'. He has left out details of 'the number of soldiers fed for each of the 4 years': As the page is cast, these details will have to be filled in, 'even if I have to estimate the number'. The letter concludes: 'The innumerable and, I am afraid, troublesome questions will convince you that I am as anxious as yourself that justice be done to the U. Vol. Saloon: and, in this case, I am well aware that the best way to do it, is to make a plain statement of the facts.'.
