American Poetry. Halleck Fitz Greene.
The Life and Letters of Fitz-Greene Halleck. By James Grant Wilson.
New York: D. Appleton and Company 1869. First edition trade issue. Some light rubbing and slight sunning; a fine copy. 8vo contemporary blue half morocco spine elaborately gilt blue cloth sides 607 1 4 pages t.e.g. Frontis portrait engraved title page as published. This copy from the library of Halleck's biographer James Grant Wilson himself with a small ink autograph note mounted to a preliminary binder's blank "Purchased at the sale of the Sedgwick Library New York March 27 1877. Jas. Grant Wilson." New York lawyer William Ellery Sedgwick had died in 1873; his library was sold at the Clinton Hall sale rooms on March 27 and March 28 in 1877 with a 68-page catalog published by Leavitt. Wilson has somewhat grangerized his own copy here with six related supplementary autograph pieces tipped in including a manuscript agreement between publisher J. S. Redfield and Fitz Greene Halleck to "Stereotype print and publish and endeavor to sell your Poems in one volume 12mo the proceeds of sales after paying . . . $325.21 recently paid by me to Harper & Brothers and all other expenses to be equally divided between you and me as fast as realized" dated New York April 12 1852 signed and endorsed by Halleck on the verso. Redfield published three editions of Halleck's poems between 1852 and 1854. Additional inserted material includes 1887 letters from Horatio Gates Jones and from William Leete Stone to Wilson on articles submitted for Appletons' Cyclopedia of American Biography of which Wilson was an editor; an 1851 note from Edward Robinson to William Alfred Jones early in the latter's career as librarian of Columbia college; and two notes from William Alfred Jones to Wilson on literary matters thanking Wilson for a book on Knickerbocker literature asking for return of a photograph used as source of an engraving including thanks to Wilson for his kind words about "poor Hoffman"--presumably the Knickerbocker author Charles Fenno Hoffman who was institutionalized for insanity for the last thirty years of his life.

But it's not just big names. There are many emerging or lesser-known poets as well. Please inquire for a complete list.Sylvester Pollet 1939-2007 was the mastermind behind this series. He was an associate editor of the National Poetry Foundation and taught creative writing at the University of Maine Orono. According to the previous owner of this set "He Pollet published work under the Backwoods Broadsides imprint for many years but the chaplet series was his 'heart' project." Included with the set is Pollet's "farewell" letter to subscribers ending the series in 2006.
