Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good Minus. after Thomas Allom, etched by S.H. Gimber. After W.H. Bartlett, etched by A.L. Dick et al Ilustrador. First Edition. Hard cover bound volume, 4to., in three-quarter black calf over dark green cloth, the spine tooled in gilt with extensive filigree design, title and date. Vol. III contains Jan.- June, 1845, (286pp.) bound with Vol. IV, July-Dec. 1845, (284pp.) and with the issue for Jan. 1846 (48pp.) also included. Each volume has a separate table of contents and the fashion plates, (some hand-colored,) chromolithographed extras and lithographed engravings, a few with tissue guards, plates unnumbered. **CONDITION: Very Good Minus, with small split to head and some wear to tail of joints, shelf wear near corners and a few small marks to boards. Hinges are intact with very small wear at rear hinge just starting. Over opened in at least one place. Offset affects pages opposite a number of the prints. Some browning and occasional bits of soiling. **This volume features contributions by significant women writers of the day. Five short stories are included from the Boston area-born abolitionist, journalist, novelist, women's and native American rights advocate, LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802- 1880) including the first publication of "The Children of Mt. Ida." Based on elements of Greek myth, it is a tale of the ill-fated love of two foster children who grow up together in idyllic innocence on the Phrygian hills in the Aegean. Married, they remain unaware of a regal connection which will require an ultimate sacrifice. The Trojan Wars, the gods, and Helen of Troy, draw the hero away from his first love. Also interesting are the tones of mesmerism to be found in the story--then current in the works of Child's contemporary E.A. Poe, for instance--seen in the ritualized conjuring of a trance-like state in the heroine, enabling prophetic visions. This short story, as well as Child's "Elizabeth Wilson," The Youthful Emigrant," "A Legend of the Apostle John," "Hilda Silvering," "The Irish Heart," and "The Beloved Tune" appear here, and were then later published in book form: "Fact and Fiction: A Collection of Stories," (New York: C.S. Francis, 1846), BAL 3155. Interestingly, LMC dedicated that book to Anna Loring (1830-1896), a Beverly, Massachusetts woman and fellow abolitionist.**Boston poet FRANCES S. OSGOOD (1811-1850) is represented by five poems in Vol. III and at least three more in Vol. IV, including "The Sunbeam's Love," said to refer to her infatuation with the young fellow Bostonian author, Edgar Allan Poe. Poe penned poems in response, including "To F----s S. O---d," and another of 1846 entitled "To Her Whose Name Appears Below," featuring a cryptic anagram of Osgood's name spelled out in the text. These, however, did not appear in "The Columbian Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine." But Poe did contribute a short story, "Mesmeric Revelation" to "The Columbian" in 1844.**Other articles include a discussion of the work of poet Elizabeth Barrett (later Browning) by critic H.T. Tuckerman. Other notable contributions by women include Lydia H. Sigourney, Fanny Forrester and Maria Weston Chapman.**REF: On Poe and Mesmerism, see Poe Society, cf. "The Facts of the Case of M. Valdemar" (1845). For correspondence of Anna Loring, see Mass. Digital commonwealth on the Boston Anti-Slavery Fair. A smorgasbord of mid-nineteenth century thoughts and fashions. (AMJ). Book.

The spine has extensive gilt decorative banding at head and foot, double ruled faux banding and titles to second, and date 1847 to the fourth compartment. Marbled end papers, and faint remains of marbling are seen to edges of text block. Original four-color cover bound in. Vol. VII contains Jan.- June, 1847, bound with Vol. VIII July-Dec. 1847. Each volume numbered separately. Illustrations include scenes from the Mexican-American War, (then current,) with commentary by the editors on "The Storming of Palace Hill,(sic)," which the editor reports mis-named from Independence Hill near Monterey, California. In total, there are 3 colored fashion plates, 4 mezzotints and 10 black and white line engravings in Vol. VII. Vol. VIII has 9 black and white line engravings (none colored) and 6 mezzotints. **CONDITION: Very Good. Binding is sound and attractive.

Inside: light, or sometimes moderate, toning with occasional spots of soiling, or a few small tears, but generally clean, square and sound.**Featured in the March, 1847 Issue, p. 123, is the FIRST APPEARANCE of EDGAR ALLAN POE's short story, as revised and re-titled, "THE DOMAIN OF ARNHEIM". A previous version had appeared in 1842 under the title "The Landscape Garden" in "The Ladies Companion." Unusual for Poe, the story is not a gothic, doom-laden tale, but rather a prose poem which is a vision of an artist's Shangri-La built amongst a towering, mountainous, riverine landscape. Biographer Una Pope-Hennessy suggests the singular monolithic author's aerie described in the story was based on Poe's familiarity with the English gothic author William Beckford's (cf. 1786 novel, "Vathek.") whose doomed estate of Fonthill Abbey in Wiltshire collapsed under its own weight in a fit of its builder's drug-fueled architectural vanity. ***L. MARIA CHILD contributes three short stories, including what is arguably the best of the tales in this issue, "The Rival Mechanicians," about a rivalry between two apprentices for the heart of a Swiss watchmaker's daughter in a plot which involves the building of increasingly complex watches, barometers, automatons and a human-like "android," (certainly an early use of that word.) The author may have been influenced by her New York acquaintances of the Knickerbocker school (W. Irving, Paulding, et al) in this unusually spooky tale. Her biographer J. G. Whittier selects letters from her correspondence of the period showing a rather reclusive, solitary exile to the New York area at this time, in flight from real danger and condemnation felt from some Bostonians and southerners for her outspoken contributions to the abolitionist press. [Child published frequently on these topics through the New York offices of the American Anti-Slavery Society, located at 143 Nassau Street in 1842; the "Columbian Magazine" was published but a door away at 140 Nassau Street, until 1846. (See BAL 3141)].**Other notable additions to this annual include short stories, songs and poetry by mid-nineteenth century women authors , Francis S. Osgood, Miss Catharine M. Sedgwick, Mrs. E. F. Ellett, Miss Fanny Forrester and others. Some contributions from the men include ALFRED BILLINGS STREET's (1811-1881) "A Day or Two's Fishing in Pike's Pond." The work of this Poughkeepsie, New York native has been described as prose poetry, and his work has been compared favorably to that of the Transcendentalists, Emerson, Bryant and Longfellow. JAMES KIRKE PAULDING (1778-1860), once Secretary of the United States Navy, and a leading contributor to the Knickerbocker New York literary scene of the 1820's and 30's, contributes a terrific gothic tale, "The All-Seeing Eye" in the Jan. 1847 issue, p. 5-12. A traveller, observing from a riverbank, happens to witness a murder during a violent storm. He meets the perpetrator by chance some twenty years later, who is keen to confess his sin. The psychic toll taken upon the rich, worldly-successful murderer is very much reminiscent of Poe's 1843 tale, "The Tell-Tale Heart". ** REFS : On Poe: Poe Soc.: Text 04-c, for "Arnheim." U. Pope-Hennessy, "Edgar Allen Poe, a Critical Biography," (New York: Haskell House Ltd, 1971), pp. 170-171. BAL 16149 mentions the 1842 version of The Landscape Garden, published in the Ladies Companion, version; but not this re-titled story, "Arnheim." On Paulding: BAL 15743 lists "The All-Seeing Eye" as "otherwise un-located" from a version found in the 1852 "Ladies Illustrated Keepsake" ; this 1847 publication may therefore be its first appearance.
