Herman Melville, c.1865

The pirated edition of Israel Potter. "T.B. Petersen, a pulp publisher in Philadelphia, pirated Israel Potter and issued it under a new title. To add insult to Melville's already injured reputation, the title-page noted him as the author of two books he did not write, The Two Captains and The Man of the World, besides Typee and Omoo" (Reese). BAL 13724; Reese Melville 24.



Octavo (182 x 115mm). 2 pp. of ads at rear (hinges repaired). Publisher’s red, black, and gilt-stamped pictorial boards (spine a little faded, extremities rubbed). Provenance: C.H. Rohland (pencil inscription to fly-leaf).
