Лот 230 | One of his earliest poems
BRYANT, William Cullen (1794-1878). Autograph manuscript, "A Poem Addressed to Mr. A Bryant," Brookfield, May 1809.

Two pages, 159 x 100mm (some dustsoiling and toned areas, mounting strip along left margin).

A very early poem by Bryant, written at age fifteen, a year following the publication of his first printed work, The Embargo, the success of which convinced his father to enroll him at Williams College in 1810. It begins, "Once more the bard with eager eye reviews / The flowery paths of fancy and the muse…" and continues on for fifty lines, totaling approximately 350 words.

[With:] BRYANT, John H. (1807-1902). Autograph letter signed ("John H. Bryant") to Rev. Robert C. Waterson, Princeton, 28 January 1879, enclosing the aforementioned manuscript by his then late brother, and adding "I do not know that I can recollect any early poems that have not appeared in print that would be worthy of your attention. I have a certain one written in May 1809 when he was at his Uncle[']s in North Brookfield fitting for college which I send you in his handwriting. It may be a curiosity to you, but is not valuable otherwise...." Bryant manuscript material of this vintage is rare, and this is a charming example. Provenance: John H. Bryant (the present letter of enclosure) – William Harris Arnold (sale, Bangs, 30 January 1901, lot 1).
