Add to basketWrappers. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Boston: Fields, Osgood & Co., 1869. First (and only) edition of the February 6th issue (Vol. VII, No. 162) of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7", newsprint wraps, 32 pp. + 8 pp. ads. A couple of small corner folds, 2 small holes through which an early owner apparently tried to bind t…his issue with others, some discoloration at one edge of rear cover, small chips at bottom edge. Almost no age toning or foxing. Supple. A very solid Very Good Plus. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday, which is found when it is found almost exclusively as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood (after Ticknor & Fields) which offered, in the publisher's words, "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e., usually reprints from similar overseas journals, generally English ones. This particular issue interestingly includes, as a "New Uncommercial Sample", Charles Dickens' "Mr. Barlow", which was Chapter 34 from his "The Uncommercial Traveller". As the original-wraps version of Every Saturday rather than the later hardbound accumulation, this piece is almost certainly the first American publication of that chapter. That title was originally published in England in 1860 by Chapman and Hall, but the first American edition was that of - yes, Fields & Osgood in 1869. F & O published chapters from the work here in Every Saturday, one in an issue, described as from "advance sheets" (most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals). Herein is Chapter 34, the story of that difficult tutor, Mr. Barlow, who was "the vulture that gorges itself upon the liver of my uninstructed mind". Also included: "Handsome is That Handsome Does" (Blanchard Jerrold, reprinted from 'The London'); Nelly's New Year (Hesba Stretton, reprinted from 'The Argosy'); and a variety of pieces, unattributed as to author. Those include "Victor Hugo at Home" (Once A Week); "The Man With Two Memories" (The Spectator); "Mature Sirens" (The Saturday Review); "The Fifteen Louis D'Or of Beaumarchais (concluded)" (Blackwood's Magazine); "Diary of Prince Salm-Salm" (London Times); "Conjugal Tiffs" (The London review); "Foreign Notes" (Our Exchanges); and "Hippolytus to Artemis" (Frazer's Magazine). Eight pages of the usual funky - and historically highly educational - Every Saturday ads, separately numbered, are also quite entertaining. A piece of history. L-ES1. Engravings (illustrator).

Nineteen stories are present, including two by "Miss Leslie of Philadelphia" (i.e. the famous American author Eliza Leslie): The Stolen Girl and the Tin-Man, an American Story, Founded on Fact, along with The Quaker Girl. Eliza Leslie is best known for her 1828 recipe book, her Vision of the Heavenly World and The Behaviour Book a Manual for Ladies (1854) - still in print today. The stolen girl concerns a Philadelphia farming family Micajah and Bulah Warner and their daughters Amy and Orphy. "The tin-man came blowing his horn to the steps of the porch [and] addressed the farmer's wife in the true nasal twang that characterizes the lower class of New Englanders." The Quaker Girl is called Clementine Selbury. Another, anonymous story is called The Young Soldier: a tale of the American War. Fine engraving at frontispiece and other charming full-page engravings.

Add to basketFirst collected edition. A Parisian keepsake of the arts, compiled at the dawn of Romanticism. Le Souvenir des Mà nestrels gathers together the leading voices of post-Revolutionary France â" poets, dramatists, composers, and painters â" into one elegant anthology, meant for salon performance and domestic enjoyment. Within these…pages appear names that defined a cultural age: Chateaubriand, Millevoye, and Baour-Lormian among the poets; Boieldieu, Mà hul, Kreutzer, Pleyel, Sophie Gail, Nicolo de Malte, and even Haydn among the composers; engravings by Isabey and Cicà ri, music engraved by Richomme, and vignettes by Lambert. Together, they form a panorama of Parisian intellectual and artistic life at the turn of the 19th century, when salons were the crucibles of art, politics, and society. Issued by Mme. Bà noist at her Magasin de Musique on the Rue de Richelieu, the book also reflects the growing role of women as publishers and impresarios in the Parisian music trade. With its charming illustrations, engraved music, and wide-ranging contents, Le Souvenir des Mà nestrels is both a performance book and a cultural artifact â" a survivor of evenings when voices and instruments celebrated poetry, wit, and conviviality in the salons of post-Revolutionary Paris. Binding: Contemporary quarter vellum with patterned paper boards. Boards worn with losses, vellum rubbed, but solid and appealing; text block largely uncut. Interior: Engraved frontispiece, full-page vignettes, finely engraved sheet music, and an index of contributors (poets, composers, artists, and engravers). Pages fresh with occasional edge wear; a handsome survival. A scarce and evocative anthology, uniting literature, music, and the visual arts at the moment when French culture was remaking itself for a new century. Le Souvenir des Mà nestrels, Paris [c. 1800], a richly illustrated anthology of poetry and salon music featuring Chateaubriand, Haydn, Sophie Gail, Mà hul, Pleyel, Boieldieu, and others; published by Mme. Bà noist. Good (original patterned boards worn; vellum spine rubbed; text block largely uncut; engravings and music crisp and complete) Contemporary quarter vellum with patterned paper boards. Spine rubbed, paper sides worn with losses, but binding sound; text block largely uncut. Small 8vo. Isabey, Cicà ri, Lambert, and others (engravings and vignettes) (illustrator).
