Melville, Herman
Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life. During a Four Months’ Residence in A Valley of the Marquesas.
New York: Wiley and Putnam 1846. First edition of Melville's first book and his most popular during his lifetime. Octavo two volumes bound into one in the original cloth stamped in blind with gilt titles to the spine frontispiece map both half-titles and 6 pages of publisher's advertisements at rear. BAL 13653. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper one month after publication "Captain Ball With the respects of the author Westport April 18th 1846." The recipient Captain Charles Ball was captain of the whaling ship Theophilus Chase on which Thomas Melville the author's youngest brother set sail for the first time at the age of sixteen. Thomas's decision to follow in his older brother's footsteps was likely due to hearing Herman's stories of his time at sea which began in 1841 with his voyage aboard the whaling ship the Acushnet. Thomas set sail aboard the Theophilus Chase on March 18 1846 for the South Atlantic from Westport but was homeward bound by April at which point Herman apparently visited Westport and inscribed this copy of Typee just one month after its American publication on March 17th. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Books inscribed by Melville are scarce. Inspired by Richard Henry Dana Jr.'s new book Two Years Before the Mast and Jeremiah N. Reynolds's account in the May 1839 issue of The Knickerbocker magazine of the hunt for a great white sperm whale named Mocha Dick Herman Melville travelled to New Bedford Massachusetts where he secured a position aboard the whaler Acushnet in 1841.

Typee: a Peep at Polynesian Life. During a Four Months' Residence in a Valley of the Marquesas; the Revised Edition with a Sequel
New York: Wiley and Putnam 1846. Hardcover. Very Good. Revised American edition with the sequel first printing second state. Two parts in one. Small octavo. 308pp. Contemporary half straight grain morocco gilt and cloth with the glazed pink paper label of "J.H. Oliphant Book-binder. Oswego N.Y." on the front pastedown. Contemporary penciled owner's name lacks front fly rubbing at the joints and extremities but still a pleasing very good copy. Melville's first book his dramatic account of his adventures in the South Seas was immediately popular but he was accused of fictionalizing events these accusations spurred in part by the book's disdain for missionaries. Melville's shipmate Toby Greene read one such critical review and was prompted to write his own short account verifying most of Melville's tale. Consequently this edition deletes some passages critical of missionaries but adds "The Story of Toby" vindicating the author of deceit. BAL 13654. Wiley and Putnam hardcover
