1824réf. 49827Philadelphia: M. Carey & Son 1824. Self-styled seventh edition. General Francis Marion "The Swamp Fox" was one of the leading American commanders in the Revolution in the South. His brillant operations in the Carolinas kept thousands of British troops tied down and contributed immensely to ultimate American victory. Plain and unassuming he was widely beloved by his contemporaries and after his death this book began the process of his ascent to legend. Horry his second-in-command for part of the war supplied many of the facts although he was allegedly disgusted by Weems' flowery passages and disclaimed any connection with the book. What he disliked others embraced and the book went through many editions. This edition not in Howes or any other standard sources. This copy with the ownership signature and bookplate of J.K. Paulding on titlepage and front pastedown. Paulding was a writer and U.S. Secretary of the Navy from 1838-1841. 12mo. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label. Modern bookplate on rear pastedown 19th-century armorial bookplate on front pastedown. Very light scattered foxing toning throughout. Good. HOWES H650. hardcover books

1852réf. 30702New York: Bunnell and Price 1852. First hardcover edition and first printing of this text. Foxing to end papers a few stains to text block corners and spine ends with slight rubs and bumps a nearly fine copy 30702. 12mo pp. 1-3 4-143 144: blank flyleaves at front and rear original decorated black cloth front and rear panels stamped in blind spine panel stamped in gold and blind. This work prepared by a close acquaintance of Locke provides a biographical sketch of Locke; anecdotes about the reception of Locke's report; appendices presenting an authentic description of the Moon; and the text of Locke's successful hoax perpetrated in the NEW YORK SUN in August 1835 which pretended to reveal a discovery that men and animals existed on the Moon. The revelations supposedly reprinted from the actually defunct EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF SCIENCE were so cleverly wrought that for a short time the report was given credence in scientific circles in the United States and Europe. The report was soon denounced as a hoax by the public press and Richard Adams Locke 1800-1871 a reporter for the SUN was identified as the perpetrator of the "ingenious astronomical hoax." Interest in the lunar discoveries increased the SUN'S circulation to more than nineteen thousand the largest of any daily of that time. According to William Gowans who reprinted the story in 1859 Locke's account created such public interest that the owners of the SUN published sixty thousand copies of it in pamphlet form. The pamphlet was published in September 1835 and every copy was sold in less than a month. Nevertheless the 1835 printings are rare and only a handful of copies survive.
