Hawthorne's copy, used by him at Bowdoin

[HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864).] – Morell, Thomas. An Abridgement of Ainsworth's Dictionary, English and Latin, designed for the Use of Schools. Philadelphia: Benjamin Warner, 1820.



Nathaniel Hawthorne's dictionary, used by him at Bowdoin College and gifted to Thomas Manning. It is signed by Hawthorne using the original spelling of his name, "Nathaniel Hathorne." The Mannings and the Hathornes were both old Salem, Massachusetts families and closely intertwined. The author's mother was Elizabeth Clark Manning. Thomas Manning was a senior at Bowdoin in 1828. Nathaniel Hathorne himself graduated from Bowdoin in 1825 and rechristened himself "Hawthorne" shortly thereafter.



Octavo (218 x 132mm). Printed in three columns (browned, dampstain at ends). Contemporary sheep (minor small abrasions and light wear, neatly repaired chips to f.f.e.); modern clamshell box. Provenance: Nathaniel Hawthorne (ownership signature "Nathaniel Hathorne" on front free endpaper dated from Bowdoin College, Brunswick. There is a tiny hole in "e" of College) – Thomas Manning (ownership inscription above Hawthorne's indicating it was presented by Hawthorne to him).
