Insured post.Originally published by Henry L. Williams in 1882, with 1892 on copyright page, this is an early printing of the Hurst & Company reprint edition of Poems of Edgar Allan Poe including Some Poems Not Hitherto Introduced In His Works, To Which Is Added A Full And Impartial Memoir Of Poet (NY, Hurst & Co., 1892). This edition was published less than fifty years after the author’s death just as many of the poems in it (e.g. The Raven and The Bells were first published in 1845 and 1849 respectively). In dark blue cloth with gilt title/decor to spine, frontispiece of Poe on title page and decorations throughout, the book is in very good condition for its age. Binding is straight and quite firm with no damage to joints or gutters (see photos). Exterior shows light wear to heel and only a touch of wear to corners – no bumps or tears. Page ends are clean though top page ends are a bit darker than fore edges and bottom page ends, likely as printed. Interior contents are very good and complete with no errant marks or torn pages but light fading to a few letters on title page and a very faint name and Oct 1901 date to FFEP. Some of the interior pages are slightly off set at gutters and one or two show minor nearby wrinkles. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. …
