A propos de cet article

Boston: Fields, Osgood & Co., 1869. First (and only) edition of the February 6th issue (Vol. VII, No. 162) of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7", newsprint wraps, 32 pp. + 8 pp. ads. A couple of small corner folds, 2 small holes through which an early owner apparently tried to bind this issue with others, some discoloration at one edge of rear cover, small chips at bottom edge. Almost no age toning or foxing. Supple. A very solid Very Good Plus. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday, which is found when it is found almost exclusively as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood (after Ticknor & Fields) which offered, in the publisher's words, "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e., usually reprints from similar overseas journals, generally English ones. This particular issue interestingly includes, as a "New Uncommercial Sample", Charles Dickens' "Mr. Barlow", which was Chapter 34 from his "The Uncommercial Traveller". As the original-wraps version of Every Saturday rather than the later hardbound accumulation, this piece is almost certainly the first American publication of that chapter. That title was originally published in England in 1860 by Chapman and Hall, but the first American edition was that of - yes, Fields & Osgood in 1869. F & O published chapters from the work here in Every Saturday, one in an issue, described as from "advance sheets" (most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals). Herein is Chapter 34, the story of that difficult tutor, Mr. Barlow, who was "the vulture that gorges itself upon the liver of my uninstructed mind". Also included: "Handsome is That Handsome Does" (Blanchard Jerrold, reprinted from 'The London'); Nelly's New Year (Hesba Stretton, reprinted from 'The Argosy'); and a variety of pieces, unattributed as to author. Those include "Victor Hugo at Home" (Once A Week); "The Man With Two Memories" (The Spectator); "Mature Sirens" (The Saturday Review); "The Fifteen Louis D'Or of Beaumarchais (concluded)" (Blackwood's Magazine); "Diary of Prince Salm-Salm" (London Times); "Conjugal Tiffs" (The London review); "Foreign Notes" (Our Exchanges); and "Hippolytus to Artemis" (Frazer's Magazine). Eight pages of the usual funky - and historically highly educational - Every Saturday ads, separately numbered, are also quite entertaining. A piece of history. L-ES1.…
