The Courtship of Miles Standish
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1858
LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). The Courtship of Miles Standish, and Other Poems. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1858.
The Newton-Drapkin copy of the first American edition, a presentation copy of the first printing, inscribed "with the compliments of the author 1858." Longfellow's epic poem of the early American colonists helped cement his already growing fame, and was popular across the Atlanic as well. This is the issue with "The revel of the treacherous wine" on p. 124; the single-leaf advertisement for the Waverly novels in some copies is not present. BAL 12122.
Octavo. 12-page publisher's advertisements inserted at end. Original brown cloth, blind-stamped on sides, gilt-lettered on spine (light wear at spine caps); custom slipcase and chemise. Provenance: "Mrs Stevens" (ownership inscription above author's inscription) – A. Edward Newton (bookplate, his sale, Parke-Bernet Galleries, 16 May 1941, lot 672) – Donald G. Drapkin (bookplate on chemise, his sale, Christie's New York, 29 June 2005, lot 255).
