MELVILLE, HERMAN
Redburn: His First Voyage
<p><strong>"An association copy linking two of the greatest figures in American literature" Reese this is Nathaniel Hawthorne's copy of Herman Melville's <em>Redburn</em>. </strong></p><p>The front free endpaper is inscribed: "Nath. Hawthorne from the Publisher." <strong>The facing pastedown bears Herman Melville's signature on a card</strong>. <em>Redburn</em> first published in 1849 is based on Melville's experiences while on a cargo ship sailing to Liverpool in June 1839. It recounts the adventures of a son of a gentleman on his first voyage living among coarse and sometimes brutal sailors.</p><p><strong>The importance of the relationship between Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne cannot be overstated.</strong> In the late 1840s the Melville family moved to Arrowhead their farm in the Berkshires. There he was encouraged and inspired by Hawthorne whom he visited in nearby Lenox. They met on 5 August 1850 at a picnic hosted by a mutual friend. Melville had just read Hawthorne's latest collection of stories <em>Mosses from an Old Manse</em> and would he review the collection anonymously in Literary World several weeks later.</p><p>Reading <em>Mosses from an Old Manse</em> with its themes of human evil and moral ambiguity had a transformative effect on Melville and the writing of <em>Moby-Dick</em>. Reading Hawthorne helped to make Melville not just a writer of sea stories but a profound investigator into the human condition. Their friendship in this key period helped produce <em>Moby Dick </em>1851 which he dedicated to Hawthorne "In Token of My Admiration for His Genius." And that same year Hawthorne published <em>The House of the Seven Gables</em>. Julian Hawthorne the author's son and an author himself would many years later publish <em>Nathaniel Hawthorne and his Wife</em> in 1884. In writing the book he called on Melville who in the 1880s was nearly forgotten and working in the Customs House. The younger Hawthorne wrote that Melville was "a melancholy and pale wraith of what he had been in his prime" and that it was "a sad interview." "I knew that he had once proposed to Hawthorne to join him in some literary work . I spoke of this project to Melville but he made no intelligible response. His words were vague and indeterminate . When I tried to revive memories in him of the red-cottage days —red-letter days too for him—he merely shook his head" Leyda The Melville Log. Melville's wife purchased a copy of Julian Hawthorne's book in 1885 but Melville made no recorded comments.</p><p><strong>A remarkable association highlighting not only Melville's greatest creative period but also his fall to obscurity.</strong></p><p>Original purple cloth. Faded rubbed with some loss to spine ends rear joint repaired. Foxing name of Nathaniel Hawthorne blotted. Custom case.</p><p>BAL 13660. Provenance: Nathaniel Hawthorne publisher's presentation inscription – Julian Hawthorne ownership inscription in several places – Stephen H. Wakeman perhaps the greatest of all collectors of 19th-century American literature bookplate his sale American Art Association 28 and 29 April 1924 lot 410.</p> Harper & Brothers hardcover

Remarks on Polar Expedition
Philadelphia 1897. Separately-issued offprint from the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society Vol. XXXVI No. 156. 454-461 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original printed wrappers stapled. Covers browned and separate edges chipping else a very good copy. Separately-issued offprint from the Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society Vol. XXXVI No. 156. 454-461 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Melville's Remarks given in response to Nansen's Fram Expedition largely relates his own experience of having drifted in the "Jeannette" with comparisons to Nansen's intentional voyage among the Arctic drifts. In pursuit of evidence of an Arctic current and reaching the Pole Nansen in the "Fram" the first custom-build "arctic ship" set off in June of 1893. By approaching the floes off East Siberia and allowing the current to carry them the ship was frozen in for 2 1/2 years and travelled some 400 miles without the usual hardship associated with arctic exploration. Nansen realizing that the current was not to carry them to the North Pole in January 1895 set off with a dog team and a single man Hjalmar Johansen to attempt to reach the Pole. When it became evident that this would not be possible and after great difficulties they made their way to Franz Joseph Land where they met up with Frederick Jackson who had been seeking a land route to the Pole. They returned to Norway on his ship where they met the "Fram" in perfect condition. Nansen had proven that the North Pole was surrounded by ice and that the arctic drift. WH/9/86/6 unknown

Rock Rodondo. Sketches Third & Fourth of "The Encantadas."
<p>New York: Red Angel Press 1981 One of 100 copies printed by Ronald Keller at the Red Angel Press in Bremen Maine and New York City. Signed by Keller. Full tan cloth partially painted in tan and gray to resemble breaking waves. The front pastedown is a cast paper sculpture of the rock and birds in flight. . Quarto. 12" x 12." 24 pp. 6 " x 12". . Blindstamped decoration of birds in flight on title and following leaf. A two-color woodcut of the Galapagos birds folds out vertically to 12" x 36" On the facing page there is an artist's note and key to the birds depicted which include the Galapagos Penguin Brown Pelican Waved Albatross Antarctic Whale-bird Swallow-tailed Gull Galapagos Storm Petrel etc. Printed on dampened hand-made Fabriano paper. A fine copy. With the prospectus. "The fascinating Galapagos Islands are the setting for the book Rock Rodondo…Taken from Herman Melville's tale The Encantadas or the Enchanted Isles the text is a depiction of a small rock pinnacle that is host to countless raucous oceanic birds…Our book is a natural history of these 'strange sea-fowl' and a panoramic view of this equatorial archipelago. The desolate Galapagos have been fertile ground for writers and researchers since before Darwin's visit but surely The Encantadas with its vivid powerful images stands out among all the works inspired by this unique natural area…Throughout the design and format of this book we have attempted to suggest this rock tower and textural devices have been used to exploit its rugged aspect" from the prospectus.</p> Red Angel Press, hardcover
