Condition: Near fine. First edition thus. Limited critical edition of this pseudonymous 1842 response to Charles Dickens, here attributed to Poe by Dickens collector Joseph Jackson but later reclassified as the work of poet Nathaniel Wheeler Coffin. In 1842, Charles Dickens voyaged to the United States, in part to make money, an…d in part to convince US publishers to stop pirating his books (and hence to make more money). After a relatively unsuccessful visit, Dickens published AMERICAN NOTES later that year, which said Americans did not take well. Jackson has reprinted here one anonymous response to AMERICAN NOTES in a lavish format on the (incorrect) judgment that it was written by Poe. A beautiful book, a passionate argument, an unfortunate mistake. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Contemporary three-quarter white morocco with red cloth. Spine stamped in gilt. Marbled endpapers. "Issue for disposal limited to one hundred copies." 182 pages. Illustrated with two plates: a frontispiece portrait of Poe engraved after a portrait by A.C. Smith and a reproduction of an Aubrey Beardsley drawing. Only very light wear to boards.

In the original black dust jacket with gilt spine and cover lettering. Bookplate of railroad and banking magnate John A. Spoor. Mild foxing to endpapers but overall a lovely c…opy in a lovely jacket."English Notes for General Circulation by ?Quarles Quickens,? a pamphlet published in Boston on December 6, 1842, was ascribed to Poe by Joseph Jackson in ?Dickens in America Fifty Years Ago? (World?s Work, January 1912, pp. 292-293). The pamphlet was reprinted in 1920. W. N. C. Carlton demolished the ascription in the Americana Collector for February 1926" (Mabbot).Quarles Quickens is not a pseudonym of Joseph Jackson, who merely reprinted and incorrectly promoted the work as being by Poe. The pseudonym was used for the original 1842 printing. That author has just now been identified as Nathaniel Wheeler Coffin (1815-1869). He wrote a poem called "The Times," mentioned and reprinted by Carlton in his 1926 article, noting that it was by the author of English Notes. That poem was later included in a collection of Coffin's poems America, An Ode, and Other Poems (Boston, 1843). So, that little mystery can finally be put to bed. It also appears that there were two issues of the 1920 book, both limited to 100 copies. A flyer by Lewis Thompson, the publisher of the 1920 book, says that the first printing had been exhausted, and that a second run of 100 copies was being printed, primarily for the benefit of members of the Grolier Club and Bibliophile Societies.
