Herman Melville, 1855
MELVILLE, Herman (1819-1891). Israel Potter: Fifty Years of Exile. New York: G.P. Putnam & Co., 1855.
A fine copy of the first edition, first printing, in the first binding, of Melville's foray into historical fiction. The plot is based on the autobiography of a real person, a Revolutionary War soldier captured by the British. Potter escaped imprisonment in England and after almost 50 years of adventure, finally comes home to his beloved farm in the Berkshires. Israel Potter first appeared in serial form in Putnam's Monthly between July 1854 and March 1855. The title-page tellingly identifies him as the author of the popular books Typee and Omoo, without mention of Moby-Dick. BAL 13667.
Octavo. Original green cloth (spine just a touch faded, minor rubbing); modern chemise and slipcase. Provenance: deleted inscription from title-page.
