About This Item
Somerville, New Jersey: Cornell & Honeyman, 1873. The first appearance of two Joaquin Miller poems. A beautiful copy. SEE PHOTOS. Near Fine condition. Bright, shiny, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Hinges are perfect. Previous owner's small book label on the front pastedown endpaper. Bound in the publisher's gilt-decorated green cloth. Original brown endpapers. Twelve numbers, complete (all published of this monthly magazine): Vol. 1, No. 1 (Jan. 1873) to Vol. 1, No. 12 (Dec. 1873). Included here are two Joaquin Miller poems: HAVE FAITH, and A DEDICATION. The second is footnoted as follows: "The above was enclosed to us by Mr. Miller in a note from London, England, accompanying the Poem, 'HAVE FAITH,' elsewhere printed (i.e. on page 202). About it he writes: 'Here are the first lines of a book of poems inscribed to the memory of my brother [i.e. Dr. John D. Miller, of Easton, PA], once your friend, which you are at liberty to publish if you like.' As this new book, which we believe is to be called OLIVE LEAVES, has not yet been issued from the English house, where it is in press, we gladly print this 'DEDICATION' in advance of its appearance in England." Also in this volume is "More Local History -- New Germantown" by R. R. Honeyman (pp. 116-130). This volume is a useful source of Somerset and Hunterdon County New Jersey local history and genealogy. The title page continues thus: "With Classified Local Items and Tables of Marriages and Deaths in Somerset and Hunterdon Counties from Jan. 1st, 1872 (sic), to Nov. 1st, 1873." Not in BAL or Johnson.. First Collected Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition. 576pp.
