8vo: 1 p. Good, on lightly creased and aged paper. Good firm hand. Five lines of text and large, bold signature. Reads 'Enclosed please find the note of the General | With compliments to Madam and to Miss Chapman I remain | Very truly yours | [signed] John Bigelow'.

Full calf. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. A solid, well-preserved copy of the 1804 1st edition, in either the publisher's original full calf binding or, at the very least, a contemporary-to-the-period full calf. Very light, forgiveable soiling and spotting to the endsheets and pastedowns, mild, intermittent foxing throughout the text. Small, neat name at the top of the title page, very light bowing to the boards. Octavo, continuing from the title page: "Together with the Various Orations, Sermons, and Eulogies, That Have Been Published or Written on His Life and Character". (Howes C572, Sabin 14311).

8vo. 2 pages on single leaf. Together with a portrait photograph. "Our Fellow-Worshippers": "Deem not that thou and I / Are here the only worshippers today / Beneath this glorious sky / Mid the soft airs that o'er the meadows play / These airs, whose breathing stirs / The fresh grass, are our fellow-worshippers [.]". - According to Henry C. Sturges, the poem was written in December 1875 at Bryant's home in Roslyn, Long Island (The Poetical Works of William Cullen Bryant, p. LXXVI). It belongs to the last period of the poet's work, written less than three years before his death. - With some corrections by the author, slightly smudged, some insignificant foxing to recto.
