Longfellow's Voices of the Night

Presentation to Richard Henry Dana Sr, 1839

LONGFELLOW, Henry Wadsworth (1807-1882). Voices of the Night. Cambridge: John Owen, 1839.



Presentation copy to Richard Henry Dana Sr. of the first edition of Longfellow's first poetry book, in original boards with Dana's penciled notes—Doheny copy and a fabulous literary association. The Longfellows and the Danas were close friends and neighbors, with Longfellow's daughter Edith eventually marrying Dana Sr.'s grandson. The book is inscribed to Dana "with the sincere regards of the author / 1839," and bears the owner's notes comparing Longfellow's poetry to that of Bryant and Wordsworth. The poems here include several translations, as well as some of Longfellow's juvenilia. A mix of original and altered issue points; according to BAL, "no copy examined has all of the original readings present." BAL 12065.



12mo (176 x 106mm). Original drab boards, printed paper label on spine (ends of spine chipped, joints splitting); modern half morocco box. Provenance: Richard Henry Dana Sr., 1797-1879 (presentation inscription) – Estelle Doheny (morocco book label, her sale, Christie's New York, 21 and 22 February 1989, lot 2044).
