HAWTHORNE, Nathaniel (1804-1864), contributor. "The Lily's Quest." In: The Picturesque Pocket Companion, and Visitor's Guide, through Mount Auburn. Boston: Otis, Broaders and Company.

The Frank Maier copy of a rare title, in original boards, including the first publication in book form of Hawthorne's "The Lily's Quest."

In addition to the Hawthorne contribution, the poems and short pieces at the end of the volume include "The Old Man's Funeral" by William Cullen Bryant, "A Thought of Mount Auburn" by Miss M.A. Browne, "The Sheffield Cemetery" by Mrs. Hoffland, "The The Memory of an Infant" by Mrs. Hemans, and "I See Thee Still" by Charles Sprague. "The Lily's Quest" would be collected in Twice-Told Tales (1842). BAL 7588, Clark C11.

Small octavo (155 x 98mm). Frontispiece, numerous in-text illustrations. (Some spotting internally, faint dampstain to upper corner or most leaves.) Original pictorial paper-covered boards, leather gilt-stamped spine (some rubbing). Provenance: Frank Maier (bookplate, his sale, 16 & 17 November 1909, lot 766).
