Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good Minus. First Edition. Hard cover bound volume, 4to., in three-quarter black calf over dark green cloth, the spine tooled in gilt with extensive filigree design, title and date. Vol. III contains Jan.- June, 1845, (286pp.) bound with Vol. IV, July-Dec. 1845, (284pp.) and with the issue for Jan. 1846 (48pp.) also included. Each volume has a separate table of contents and the fashion plates, (some hand-colored,) chromolithographed extras and lithographed engravings, a few with tissue guards, plates unnumbered. **CONDITION: Very Good Minus, with small split to head and some wear to tail of joints, shelf wear near corners and a few small marks to boards. Hinges are intact with very small wear at rear hinge just starting. Over opened in at least one place. Offset affects pages opposite a number of the prints. Some browning and occasional bits of soiling. **This volume features contributions by significant women writers of the day. Five short stories are included from the Boston area-born abolitionist, journalist, novelist, women's and native American rights advocate, LYDIA MARIA CHILD (1802- 1880) including the first publication of "The Children of Mt. Ida." Based on elements of Greek myth, it is a tale of the ill-fated love of two foster children who grow up together in idyllic innocence on the Phrygian hills in the Aegean. Married, they remain unaware of a regal connection which will require an ultimate sacrifice. The Trojan Wars, the gods, and Helen of Troy, draw the hero away from his first love. Also interesting are the tones of mesmerism to be found in the story--then current in the works of Child's contemporary E.A. Poe, for instance--seen in the ritualized conjuring of a trance-like state in the heroine, enabling prophetic visions. This short story, as well as Child's "Elizabeth Wilson," The Youthful Emigrant," "A Legend of the Apostle John," "Hilda Silvering," "The Irish Heart," and "The Beloved Tune" appear here, and were then later published in book form: "Fact and Fiction: A Collection of Stories," (New York: C.S. Francis, 1846), BAL 3155. Interestingly, LMC dedicated that book to Anna Loring (1830-1896), a Beverly, Massachusetts woman and fellow abolitionist.**Boston poet FRANCES S. OSGOOD (1811-1850) is represented by five poems in Vol. III and at least three more in Vol. IV, including "The Sunbeam's Love," said to refer to her infatuation with the young fellow Bostonian author, Edgar Allan Poe. Poe penned poems in response, including "To F----s S. O---d," and another of 1846 entitled "To Her Whose Name Appears Below," featuring a cryptic anagram of Osgood's name spelled out in the text. These, however, did not appear in "The Columbian Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine." But Poe did contribute a short story, "Mesmeric Revelation" to "The Columbian" in 1844.**Other articles include a discussion of the work of poet Elizabeth Barrett (later Browning) by critic H.T. Tuckerman. Other notable contributions by women include Lydia H. Sigourney, Fanny Forrester and Maria Weston Chapman.**REF: On Poe and Mesmerism, see Poe Society, cf. "The Facts of the Case of M. Valdemar" (1845). For correspondence of Anna Loring, see Mass. Digital commonwealth on the Boston Anti-Slavery Fair. A smorgasbord of mid-nineteenth century thoughts and fashions.

As usual the edition features poetry, articles on non-fiction topics, such as patent medicine and medical advances, book and art reviews, and short stories, some illustrated, of travel, romance, the immigrant experience in America, and biographical sketches. Other contributors not mentioned above include Fanny Forrester, Mrs. Lydia Sigourney, Henry G. Lee, Mrs. C.H. Butler, Mrs. E.S. Swift and Miss Maria J. McIntosh.**CONDITION: Very Good.

Perforated library stamp to title page, with date stamp to gutter of Index. Card pocket and an unused stamp label to rear e.p. Pages are generally quite clean with the odd bit of finger soiling. Moderately age toned. Foxing seen to verso of plates and the pages facing them. Item is otherwise well preserved and sturdy. CONTENTS include: "A Farewell Editorial" and several travel articles from the magazine's departing founding editor John Inman, who manned the editorial helm of "The Columbian" from 1844 -1848. New editor STEPHEN M. CHESTER, a former contributor, debuts in these pages and commits to publishing fewer fashion spreads in favor of additional highbrow steel engravings and mezzotints, with representative artists here including Britain's THOMAS ALLOM, W.H. BARTLETT and BENJAMIN WEST. ***OF SPECIAL INTEREST, the poetry includes EDGAR ALLAN POE's "To ----- ----- -----," (p. 138) commonly said to refer to his super-fan, MRS. FRANCES S. OSGOOD (1811-1850) of Boston. Poe's work is under his own name here. The devoted Mrs.Osgood has at least one poetic contribution as well, with "Stanzas for Music." (p. 116). Both works appear as part of the March 1848 issue. While Mrs. Osgood's relationship with Poe has been variously described as a platonic literary fascination (and one at least initially supported by her husband,) and mainly in the form of adulating poetry, there were injudicious letters written as well, apparently. Another contributor, the poet and author Mrs. E.F. ELLET (1818-1877) instigated gossip about Osgood's letters to Poe which landed the latter in hot water with his wife, Osgood's husband and her brother. Other literary figures of the day including Boston's Margaret Fuller appealed directly to Poe to return the supposed letters. All this took place in 1845 and it is perhaps a testament to the damage done to the reputations of all those involved that this New York magazine is regurgitating the matter three years later! See Mrs. Ellets two short stories: "Marry in Your Own Sphere (p.57), "Eugene Le Mars" (p. 145), and the poem "The Prism, the Flower and the Sunbeam, (p. 152). "The Columbian Magazine" ceased publication the following year, 1849. Please also see our bound annuals for these issues of 1845, 1846 and 1847. (AMJ). Various, including T. Allom, W.H. Bartlett and Benj. West, as etched by A.L. Dick, M. Osborne, O. Pelton and J.J. White, et al (illustrator). Book.…
