Item description from seller

Rare original Naval "Oath of the Master and Mate" document signed by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Printed "Consul's Certificate" accomplished in manuscript and signed in ink "Nathaniel Hawthorne Consul," one page, dated 20 February 1854, with wafer seal. The Scarlet Letter authorÂNathaniel Hawthorne served as consul to the U.S. in Liverpool, England, from 1853-57. The appointment of the Naval "Oath of the Master and Mate" document was made by his friend, President Franklin Pierce. Matted and framed.

Born in Salem, Massachusetts, into a family whose roots reached back to the earliest Puritan settlers â" one of his ancestors, John Hathorne, had served as a judge during the Salem witch trials of 1692, a fact that haunted Hawthorne throughout his life and to which he added a "w" to his surname in partial repudiation â" he spent much of his early adulthood in relative isolation, reading widely and developing the dense, allegorical prose style that would distinguish his mature work. His 1850 masterpiece The Scarlet Letter, set in seventeenth-century Puritan Boston and tracing the interlocking fates of Hester Prynne, the Reverend Dimmesdale, and the sinister Roger Chillingworth, is among the most psychologically penetrating novels in the American canon and the work that established his international reputation. The House of the Seven Gables (1851) followed in its wake, extending his meditation on hereditary guilt into a domestic gothic framework, while his short story collections â" among them Twice-Told Tales (1837) and Mosses from an Old Manse (1846) â" contain some of the finest allegorical fiction in the language. Herman Melville, who counted Hawthorne among his closest friends and dedicated Moby-Dick to him, wrote that Hawthorne possessed a great, deep intellect which drops down into the universe like a plummet, and that in his soul he was one of the most honest men alive. …
