HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864). The New-England Magazine. Boston: J.T. Buckingham, January-December 1834, February-December 1835.

A fine and rare run in original wrappers of Hawthorne's first appearances in The New-England Magazine, featuring stories such as the allegorical tale "Young Goodman Brown" and the early detective story "Mr Higginbotham's Catastrophe." These are the first printings of the stories that brought Hawthorne fame. A run of this length in wrappers is almost unheard of. These issues include the following twelve stories that appeared in print for the first time: "The Story-Teller Nos. 1 & 2" (No. 1 includes "Mr Higginbotham's Catastrophe" as an interior segment; it would be collected as a separate tale in without the opening and concluding framework of "The Story-Teller"); "Old News" Nos. 1-3; "My Visit to Niagara"; "Young Goodman Brown"; "Wakefield"; "The Ambitious Guest"; "Graves and Goblins"; "A Rill from the Town-Pump"; "The Old Maid in the Winding Sheet"; "The Vision of the Fountain"; "Sketches from Memory" Nos. 1 & 2; and "The Devil in Manuscript." Clark D9-D10, D12-D25.

23 volumes, quarto (243 x 150mm). Original printed wrappers (some wear to wraps with a couple repaired losses, some flaking to backstrips, one vol. with faint dampstain at gutter); modern chemises and two quarter morocco slipcases. Provenance: Rufus Choate (ownership inscriptions to 1835 issue) – Robert H. Hay (bookplates).
