Schätzwert
$ 500 – 800
BROWN, Solyman (1790-1876). An Essay on American Poetry. New Haven: Hezekiah Howe, 1818.

Author's presentation to Miss Jane Morris, daughter of the dedicatee, of the first edition of the author's first book, in original boards. Brown would later become famous for his poetry on dental hygiene, but this first major work is an early attempt to describe American poetry as a genre. This was the first book reviewed by William Cullen Bryant, and is especially scarce in original boards. The last copy recorded at auction by RBH was in 1923. Stoddard 1184.

12mo (197 x 119mm). (Some foxing.) Original printed boards (a few stains, some losses to spine panel); modern box.
