Octavo early 20th-century half red morocco gilt elaborately gilt-decorated spine raised bands marbled endpapers top edge gilt. $1500.First English edition of Washington IrvingÕs first major production.Published under the name of Diedrich Knickerbocker one of Irving's many pseudonyms A History of New York is ""a monument of mock-eruditionÉ perhaps his greatest book"" ANB. Irving began this literary parody in response to Mitchill's Picture of New York 1807 ""but instead found himself writing a comic history of old New York in a compound of sense and nonsense which still brings chuckles of laughter reminiscent of nothing so much as Don QuixoteÉ this is the first completely original American non-scholarly book"" Grolier American 100. The success of ""Knickerbocker"" won Irving literary fame in America and Europe. ""Though this was one of the first-fruits of his inventive talent it is risking but little to affirm that in its peculiar qualities it has not been surpassed by any later effortsÉ of its accomplished author"" Allibone I:935. Sabin notes that ""Indeed it will not be saying too much to assert that a large portion of the readers of the present day owe their knowledge of the history of New York to the interest created by this unrivaled performance."" First published in 1809; the title page of this first U.K. printing states it is ""a new edition."" Bound by Root & Son. BAL 10227. Howes I83. Sabin 35152. Grolier American 100 28.
