[LOWELL, James Russell (1819-1891).] Class Poem. [Cambridge Press: Metcalf, Torry, and Ballou,] 1838.

A rare association copy of the pamphlet which began Lowell's career as an author. A fine first edition in original wrappers. Lowell had been elected class poet and scheduled to read his composition on "Class Day" in July, 1838. However, he was suspended from Harvard due to his neglect of studies and general obstreperousness and was consequentially unable to perform this office. Instead, his classmates subscribed for the printing of the poem and it was ready by August of 1838, for commencement. The front wrapper is inscribed by one of Lowell's classmates. Within just a decade, he would be one of the most distinguished and influential men of letters of letters of his time. BAL 13036.

Octavo. Original printed wrappers (light spotting, small chips to backstrip ends). Custom quarter morocco slipcase. Provenance: John Francis Heath, Harvard classmate, 1819-1862 (inscription on front wrapper: "The gift of Bijah / John Francis Heath" and below the title "James Russell Lowell, Bard" – George Matthew Adams, 1878-1962 (ex-libris on slipcase).
