New York, 1885. 8vo. 220 x 140 mm. [8 ½ x 5 ½ inches]. 58 pp. Missing front wrapper, text block unopened; some staining to title-page; printed on good paper. First edition of the first catalogue devoted to American literary firsts. Includes substantial author collections of Emerson, Dunlap, Cooper, Whitman, Stowe, Simms, Sigourney, Taylor. Thoreau, and Tuckerman. "A hopeful sign of future book-collecting is exhibited in the fact that Bibliophiles of America are emulating their brethren of the Old World in placing upon their shelves first editions. . . Believing that, in offering this catalogue, the compilers are supplying a want which is generally felt among American Collectors, they trust that due indulgence will be made for errors." (788).
