THE MODERN STORY-TELLER: OR THE BEST STORIES OF THE BEST AUTHORS NOW FIRST COLLECTED
New York: G. P. Putnam & Co. 1856. 12mo pp. 324 original decorated gray green cloth stamped in gold and blind. First edition. "Putnam's Story Library" at head of title. An anthology of twenty-two tales by unspecified authors: "the best selections from the standard story literature of the English language" according to the editor's preface. Most of the material appears to be British. "The Sultan's Bear" from CHAMBERS'S EDINBURGH JOURNAL is an amusing oriental satire. "The Ghost-Raiser" from HARPER'S is a clever tale of a confidence scam. "The Pierced Skull" is a murder mystery; "Our Major's Story" is a tale of somnambulism. Other material is sentimental romantic etc. This is one apparently the first of several books at least five in "Putnam's Story Library" series. Wright II 1727. Mild shallow chip from cloth at upper end some tanning and foxing to text block a very good copy. Superior condition for this book. A scarce book. #157441 G. P. Putnam & Co. unknown books

THE YANKEE ENTERPRISE OR THE TWO MILLIONAIRES; AND OTHER THRILLING TALES
Boston: Dayton and Wentworth 1855. Octavo pp. i-iii iv v 6 25 26-334 note: text complete despite gap in pagination flyleaves at front and rear engraved frontispiece by George B. Ellis after a painting by R. W. Buss head and tailpieces in text original decorated cloth front spine and rear panels stamped in blind First edition The contents page lists story titles and chapter titles indiscriminately thus giving the false impression that this volume contains some forty stories. The actual contents are "Two Millionaires" novella by Sarah Fry with German setting "'I Owe You Nothing Sir'" short story among English high society "Notes of a Journey Across the Isthmus of Panama" sketch "The Two Passports" short story with an intercalated adventure tale set during the Napoleonic wars "Australia and Van Diemen's Land" long sketch "The Fairy Cup" a short fairy tale by Alfred Crowquill "The White Swallow" novelette set among American Indians "Fowling in Faroe and Shetland" sketch of Scottish rural life "A Fuqueer's Curse" humorous story about an Indian fakir "The Deserts of Africa" long geographical sketch "Life in an Indiaman" naval novelette "The Dealer in Wisdom" Arabian Nights story with a dollop of fantasy "The Key of the Street" sketch about being a hobo for a night in London. The material all with exotic or foreign settings is oddly at variance with the book's title which as the preface explains alludes to the entrepreneurialism of the New Englander. Wright American Fiction 1851-1875 cites Wentworth & Co. as the primary imprint noting that this book was also issued by Dayton & Wentworth as in the present copy; he notes subsequent re-titled editions by Wentworth & Co. 1856 and by Wentworth and Company 1857. The book is copyright 1855 by Dayton and Wentworth. The absence of Dayton from the three other imprints two of which were obviously later suggests that Dayton and Wentworth was the original imprint. This book appears to be of British not American origin. Wright II 2828. Re-cased in the original cloth with new headbands and new endpapers light scattered foxing else a very good copy. #114902 Dayton and Wentworth unknown books
