Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Andrews, J.; Chandler, J. G.; Cheney, J.; Johnston, D. C. (illustrator). 1st Edition. (American Literature / Periodicals / Edgar Allan Poe) The Pioneer: A Literary and Critical Magazine. Vol. 1, No. 1 (Jan. 1843) - Vol. 1, No. 3 (Mar. 1843) [Complete Run]. Boston: Leland and Whiting, 1843. FIRST EDITION. Royal 8vo - 10-1/4" x 7". 1-48 pp., [49]-96 pp., and [97]-144 pp. Complete three-issue run of this short-lived but seminal 19th-century literary journal, spanning January to March of 1843. Bound in the original publisher's salmon-colored paper wrappers printed in black. All three issues are illustrated with mechanical reproductions consisting of original etchings and woodcuts printed in black. The complete set is housed in a custom protective collector's brown cloth chemise and matching slipcase. The physical condition of the periodical is graded VERY GOOD (utilizing the standard antiquarian book grading scale for works on paper). The delicate original paper wrappers exhibit general light handling wear and age-toning to the extremities across all three issues, with a single notable irregular paper loss along the lower edge of the front wrapper of Vol. I, No. 1. Internally, all three issues remain exceptionally clean, bright, and securely attached to their original stitching, free of any significant foxing or other defects. Founded by James Russell Lowell and Robert Carter, The Pioneer was launched as an avant-garde vehicle to challenge the commercialism of contemporary literary magazines and foster a high-minded national literature. Though the venture abruptly ceased after only three months due to severe financial collapse and an eye infection that temporarily blinded Lowell, its brief run remains one of the most legendary triumphs in American publishing history. Most notably, Vol. I, No. 1 contains the true first printing of Edgar Allan Poe's masterpiece of Gothic fiction, "The Tell-Tale Heart," which Lowell eagerly accepted for publication. Nos. 2 and 3 similarly contain foundational first printings by Poe, including the definitive publication of his landmark poem "Lenore." This complete run also features early critical works, essays, and poetry by iconic literary contemporary figures including Elizabeth Barrett [Browning], Nathaniel Hawthorne, and John Greenleaf Whittier, capturing the peak of the mid-19th-century American Renaissance as it was originally presented to the public. Because 19th-century paper-wrapped periodicals were inherently fragile and intended for casual consumption rather than preservation, complete three-issue runs of The Pioneer are incredibly scarce, particularly when preserved in their original publisher's printed salmon wrappers. While a current global sweep of the OCLC/WorldCat database locates approximately 18 holdings of The Pioneer preserved in institutional special collections worldwide: the vast majority of these surviving copies have been structurally altered?permanently bound together into hardcover volumes, typically stripped of their original exterior paper covers, with some recorded institutional examples even suffering from excised interior illustrations. Notably, only a single landmark institution, The Morgan Library & Museum, explicitly records a complete three-issue run surviving entirely unbound and intact in the original publisher's wrappers as issued. The extreme fragility of these survival factors makes an intact, unsophisticated set in its original state an absolute paramount scarcity for the 19th-century researcher. THIS EXTRAORDINARY 19th-CENTURY PERIODICAL RUN, BRIDGING THE TRAGIC REIGN OF EDGAR ALLAN POE'S GREATEST GOTHIC FICTION WITH THE GENESIS OF AMERICAN LITERARY JOURNALISM, REPRESENTS A CRITICAL ACQUISITION FOR INSTITUTIONAL SPECIAL COLLECTIONS OR EXTRAORDINARY PRIVATE COLLECTIONS DEVOTED TO THE WORKS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE, 19th-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE, OR RARE LITERARY PERIODICALS.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. [2], 280, [2] pages. Frontis Illustration. Decorative front cover. Illustrations. Some weakness at front and back hinges. Some cover wear. Edgar Stanton Maclay (18 April 1863, - 2 November 1919) was an American journalist and historian. He was a reporter on the Brooklyn Times (1886-1890) and on the New York Tribune (1891-1893); served on the editorial staff of the Tribune (1893-1895) and on that of the New York Sun (1895-1896). He was was the author of History of the United States Navy, which occasioned controversy and brought about his dismissal from government employ, by order of President Roosevelt, in 1901. This work includes Articles by: William McKinley, Alfred Thayer Mahan, John Davis Long, William Thomas Samson, Mary Philip Wheelock, David Howard Tribou, Henry B. F. Macfarland, Robert Edward Steele, George Beall Balch, Francis John Higginson, Henry Clay Taylor, Francis Tiffany Bowles, Wilton Merle Smith, Edward Biddle Latch, Marcus H. Rogers, Daniel Delehanty, and Francis J. Haeseler. There have been few officers in the United States navy whose careers have been so nearly ideal as that of John Woodward Philip. His life-long devotion to duty, his conscientious carrying-on of routine in the many weary years of peace-weary at least to sea-warriors-his entire innocence of newspaper press bureaus or politico-social influence, his superb conduct in battle, his modest, sailor-like acknowledgment of the plaudits of his countrymen, and, more than all, his beautiful Christian character have peculiarly endeared him to the American people. As a standard of naval excellence for the emulation of younger officers, the career of Philip is unsurpassed and cannot fail of beneficial results. During the Spanish-American War, his ship led the attack and silenced the fort on Cayo del Toro, Guantanamo Bay, on 15 June 1898. On 3 July 1898, in command of Texas, he participated in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, in which Pascual Cervera y Topete's Spanish Fleet was destroyed off Santiago de Cuba.

Maroon cloth lettered in gilt on the spine and front cover; covers rubbed and marked, and a little bumped, sunned and bubbled; binding a little shaken; scattered foxing throughout; a decent copy. Loosely inserted is a small mimeographed slip reading 'With the Author's Compliments'. James (later Sir James) Barrett (1862-1945), a leader of the medical profession in Melbourne and an able publicist, was Assistant Director of Medical Services, Australian Forces, in Egypt until August 1915, when he was dismissed due to disorganisation at the 1st Australian General Hospital at Heliopolis. He was ordered home in early 1916, but instead managed to have himself transferred to the British army and returned to Egypt with the Royal Army Medical Corps. This book extols the achievements of the AAMC in Egypt, in which he had played a large part, but it is silent on the internal politics of the Medical Corps.
