I, VOL. I -- NO. II AND VOL. I -- NO. III; THREE ISSUES BEING THE MAGAZINE'S COMPLETE RUN. Boston: Leland and Whiting, 1843. FIRST EDITION. Royal 8vo -- 10-1/4" x 7". Original publisher's salmon colored paper wrappers printed in black with a loss along lower edge of front wrapper of Vol. I, No. I, and wear to the wrappers of all three issues for what is still a beautiful, complete set of the magazine. 1-48, [49]-96, [97]-144 pp. This influential, but short lived literary journal, the entire run being published between January and March of 1843, after which the venture ceased for financial reasons, would none the less contain the first printings of works by literary giants, including Elizabeth Barrett [Browning], Nathaniel Hawthorn, Edgar Allan Poe, John Greenleaf Whittier, et al.; Vol. I, No. I contained the first printing of "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe, which is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre, and one of Poe's most famous short stories; Vol. I, No. II and Vol. I, No. III also both contained first printings of work by Poe, including his poem "Lenore;" all issues illustrated with etchings and/or woodcuts printed in black; internally, all three issues are very clean and bright; housed in a collector's brown cloth chemise and matching slipcase. The condition of the magazines is VERY GOOD. RARE; and quite wonderful to hold and read the important works contained within, just as they were held and read back in 1843 when these works were originally released upon the world!
