‎Publisher's Receipt Signed -- for "A Song of the Road"‎

‎1885. One 5"x8" printed receipt form with the date amount and applicable poems entered by secretarial hand then signed in full by Stevenson. London: Cassell & Company 23 December 1885. This receipt acknowledges payment of two guineas to Stevenson for "the use of my Poem entitled 'A Song of the Road' in 'The Magazine of Art' appearing in Part 63." This poem of seven four-line stanzas did indeed appear in the January 1886 issue of that magazine and was then in 1887 included in the Stevenson volume of verse UNDERWOODS published by Chatto & Windus. At the end of this poem in that volume it reads "Forest of Montargis 1878" -- for RLS wrote the first version of this poem after his 1875 walking tour around France. He then called it in his notebook now at Yale "The Gauger's Flute" -- as the poem is about a gauger excise officer who plays on his flute a refrain "Over the hills and far away" as a warning when he approaches his friend's hidden distillery. Interestingly this is one of the poems that RLS put to music late in life when he learned to play a "flageolet" -- essentially a pennywhistle with keys. The receipt is in near-fine condition with a couple of small edge-chips; the receipt was folded and notated by the publisher's staff for filing purposes. It provides a clear full signature of Stevenson. <br/><br/> unknown books‎

‎Robert Louis Stevenson Autographed Signed Letter.‎

‎One page autographed signed letter from Robert Louis Stevenson to his biographer Louise Imogen Guiney. Matted and framed with a portrait of Stevenson. The letter reads "Dear Miss Guiney I have waited long upon the muse for I thought your song should be answered in kind. But I must wait no longer and the verses refuse to come. Let me then thank you in prose for your book which I have read with pleasure and for your poem which gave me genuine pride. It is a strange thing to hear one's name from across all these waters so beautifully set to song. Robert Louis Stevenson. Skerryvore Bournemouth." The recipient of the letter Louise Imogen Guiney was an Irish-American poet and a cataloger at the Boston Public Library. In 1895 she and Alice Brown published a biography of Robert Louis Stevenson. In 1885 Guiney published a book of poetry titled The White Sail and Other Poems<em> </em>which included a poem The Indian Pipes dedicated to Stevenson. A very warm letter rare and desirable. The entire piece measures 19.5 inches by 27 inches. Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist poet essayist and travel writer. His most famous works are Treasure Island Kidnapped Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and A Child's Garden of Verses. A literary celebrity during his lifetime Stevenson now ranks as the 26th most translated author in the world. His works have been admired by many other writers including Jorge Luis Borges Bertolt Brecht Marcel Proust Arthur Conan Doyle Henry James Ernest Hemingway Rudyard Kipling Jack London Vladimir Nabokov J. M. Barrie and G. K. Chesterton unknown books‎

‎St. Ives. Being the Adventures of a French Prisoner in England‎

‎New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1897. First Edition preceding the English edition. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed by the author Robert Louis Stevenson to S.S. McClure publisher of McClure’s Magazine which serialized Stevenson’s novel St. Ives prior to book publication. Written from Valima in Samoa on September 7 1894 just weeks before Stevenson’s death on December 3rd. “.Pursuant to a note from Bunter I have the pleasure to send you an epitome of St. Ives. Without doubt it was a task! And I fear it will not increase the interest of any human being but you must be judge of that and employ it accordingly or not as your better wisdom shall suggest. The Magazine seems to me to go on swimmingly. Please remember me to your wife and the twins. Ever yours R.L. Stevenson.†At the time of his death Stevenson had left St. Ives unfinished and Arthur Quiller-Couch wrote the last few chapters to complete the work using Stevenson’s notes and the outline he had sent to McClure. Near fine bright copy in original cloth with one of Stevenson’s very last letters and a remarkably historic one showing that his efforts did indeed prove of great interest allowing one of his most interesting works to be completed.
