Book First Edition
Self-wraps [newspaper]. Condition: Very Good. From Engravings (illustrator). First Edition. Boston: M.M. Ballou, 1855. First Edition [newspaper]. The August 4, 1855 issue, Volume IX, No. 5, Whole No. 213. Numerous illustrations from engravings. Elephant folio size, sewn newsprint wraps, 16 pp. A strong Very Good Plus; other than modest occasional darkening to places on the covers (see scans), hardly anything to point to here. One of the highest grade copies I have. Maturin Ballou's paper was quite supple, not at all fragile, and it shows. Sharp, healthy, well-preserved. This issue contains stories, articles, and / or the diverse and now somewhat legendary engravings - as follows: Chantrey's Statue of Washington (with large engraving); the continuation (at chapter 10) of "The Ducal Coronet: The Heir and the Usurper/ A Romance of Italy in the 16th Century" by Arthur Morton; "An Indian Legend", by Mrs. M.E. Robinson; The East India Silk Worm. Bombyx Cynthia (with a large engraving); Fresco Painting in the Capitol; A Visit to the Catacombs of Paris; St. John's, New Brunswick (with engraving); Inhabitants of New South Wales, Australia (with engraving); "Catherine to Heathcliff", a poem by S.L. Spencer; "The Sculptor of Verona", by Harriet A. Davison; Train & Co.'s Warehouse in Melbourne, Australia (with engraving); Sea of Azoff; Squaw Rock, at Squantum, Massachusetts (with engraving); Muscatine, Iowa (with engraving); Fort Snelling, Minnesota (with engraving); Printing for the Blind; An Italian Ramble; A Reminiscence of the Last War, by Giddings H. Ballou; "The Unmeant Rebuke. A Life Lesson" by Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.; Club House, West Street, Boston (with engraving); Spy Pond and Taft's Hotel, Cambridge (with engraving); Madeira (two engravings, rear cover); and a number of short editorials, news pieces, poems, and ads. Maturin Ballou's 16-page newsprint periodical was already a piece of American history when he, as managing editor of Gleason's Pictorial, bought that - the first successful illustrated weekly newspaper in America - from owner Frederick Gleason in 1855. An early issue under this name. lLng1.

The result is gardens which have the intimacy of a diary or memoir, indeed the accounts by the contributors often read like leaves torn from a jounral, full of passion and idiosyncrasy as their pride and prejudice are revealed. These are private arcadias into which we, the public, are now allowed to pry. How generous they are to unfold the pag es for our contemplation. How much one understands the contributor who unashamedly states that the essence of her garden is that it is a closed world." ; FINE/FINE. Book.
