Peter Parley's Universal History, the Hogan-Prescott copy

Nathaniel and Elizabeth Hawthorne, 1837

[HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864) and Elizabeth Manning HAWTHORNE (1802-1883), eds. Peter Parley's Universal History, on the Basis of Geography. Boston: American Stationers' Company and John B. Russell, 1837.



A bright copy of the first edition, from the celebrated libraries of Frank Hogan and Marjorie Wiggin Prescott. Clark notes that Nathaniel Hawthorne and his sister Elizabeth edited this Peter Parley volume published by S.G. Goodrich, who had previously published many of the author's early tales in his literary annual The Token (see lots 70-72). The present copy is Clark's second printing, as usual, with volume designations added to the first page of signatures. Uncommon at auction: only three copies of this title are recorded in RBH in the past 30 years, all second printings. BAL 7582; Clark A3.1b.



Two volumes, square octavos (167 x 130mm). Half-titles, engraved titles, frontispieces, and printed titles in both volumes. Original brown cloth, gilt-stamped spine, gilt lyre ornament at center of covers (spine ends and tips lightly rubbed); modern chemises and quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: Frank J. Hogan (his sale, Parke-Bernet, 23 & 24 January 1945, lot 224) – Marjorie Wiggin Prescott (her sale, Christie's New York, 6 February 1981, lot 157).
