‎The Journal of Julius Rodman‎

‎San Francisco: The Colt Press 1947 First book appearance of this work. Limited to 500 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press. Small quarto. 82pp. Seven color wood engravings by Mallette Dean. Handset Oxford type. Cloth-backed decorated boards paper spine label printed in blue and brown. A fine copy. This uncompleted journal originally appeared in 1840 in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine of which Poe was then editor. It appears that the "Journal" might be a made-up diary based on an account by John K. Townsend who in 1839 published a Narrative of a Journey across the Rocky Mountains. Other scholars contend that Poe's work might be based on an earlier trip of exploration into the interior regions of the North American continent not necessarily Townsend's account.

‎Eureka: A Prose Poem.‎

‎New York: George P. Putnam 1848. First edition first issue of Poe's classic work. Duodecimo original publishers blind stamped black cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. First issue without the review for Eureka on page 2 of the 16 page catalogue at the end of the book but reads simply: "Poe. -- Eureka A Prose Poem: Or the Physical and Metaphysical Universe. By Edgar A. Poe Esq." In very good condition with some light rubbing to the extremities contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper. Housed in a custom cloth box. A nice bright example of this rare and important text. Poe considered Eureka his magnum opus but Putnam only agreed to publish 500 copies due to the unique nature of the material. Eureka has often been misunderstood and ridiculed but it is in fact a remarkable precursor of several modern theories of physics and a powerful essay on the material and spiritual universe. Poe hypothesized that the universe began at a set point in the past and was finite rather than infinite. In arguing that the Universe of Stars must be finite he appeals to the evidence of observed experience. Poe wrote "Were the succession of stars endless then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity like that displayed by the Galaxy-since there could be absolutely no point in all that background at which would not exist a star. The only mode therefore in which under such a state of affairs we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all. That this may be so who shall venture to deny I maintain simply that we have not even the shadow of a reason for believing that it is so." BAL 16153. George P. Putnam hardcover books‎
