2 volumes. 142,143pp. Octavo [22.5 cm] 1/4 blue cloth over gray boards with the titles printed on the front boards and backstrips. About very good. Boards age-toned at extremities with the corners gently rubbed and bumped. Small lib. Ink stamp at the upper left of the front pastedowns and again on the head of the textblock. Introduction and notes by Carl I. Wheat. Important firsthand account of the gold fields with eight tinted plates. Dame Shirley, as she is known in California literature, sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco with her husband, Dr. Fayette Clappe. After a short stay in San Francisco, Dr. Clappe went off for the diggings at Rich Bar. Shirley joined him in September, 1851, and began a series of twenty-three letters to her sister back home in Massachusetts. She wrote the last letter in November, 1852. Upon returning to San Francisco, Dame Shirley separated from her husband and eventually met Ferdinand C. Ewer, the editor of California's first magazine, The Pioneer. Recognizing the value of these beautifully crafted firsthand account of the mines, Ewer published one Shirley letter in each number of The Pioneer beginning in January 1854 and ending with the demise of the magazine in December 1855. The Shirley letters have received the highest possible praise. Kurutz 133b. Zamorano Eighty: 69.

Hardcover. Etat : Near fine. First Edition. The first edition in book form. Out of an edition of 450 copies, this is one of the 200 printed on California bond-paper and signed by the publisher, with eight hand-colored line block relief prints from drawings based on old prints of life in the California Gold Fields. First published serially in "The Pioneer" magazine in 1854-55, these celebrated letters offer an insightful and vivid account of everyday life in a California mining town. Having sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco, Clappe (1819-1906) joined her husband at Rich Bar in September 1851, and wrote a series of 23 letters between 1851 and 1852 to her sister back home in Massachusetts. Although not originally intended for publication, the letters are a carefully composed commentary upon a masculine society in which "Dame Shirley" wittily and sometimes sentimentally displays her realistic observations of a coarse and barbarous way of life. Clappe later worked as a school teacher in San Francisco, before returning to the East in 1878. Octavo. Original gray paper-covered boards over a natural cloth spine, with a printed paper spine label. A near fine copy, with the dust jacket which appears to have been miscut or neatly trimmed. The Zamorano Eighty 69.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : near fine. First and Limited Edition. First edition in book form, octavo size, 405 pp., signed by Thomas Russell. This the first edition in book form of the letters of Dame Shirley, in which she recounts her experiences living in a mining camp in California in the mid-nineteenth century. The letters tell of life in the mining camp in rich detail and offer a unique perspective from an intellectual New England woman, and form a personal picture of the hardships and innovation during the California Gold Rush. The sources wax rich with praise: per Howes, the work is "a vivid and unexcelled picture of everyday life in the mines." Gary Kurtiz ("The California Gold Rush") has a wonderful short essay on both the author and the various early publications, saying in part: "The 'Shirley Letters' have received the highest possible praise. The important of her letters was recognized early on and influenced the views and writings of Josiah Royce, Hubert Howe Bancroft, Bret Harte, and possibly, Samuel Clemens" (p. 133). With eight hand-coloured prints and signed by Thomas C. Russell at the limitation page, in the original jacket, tipped in at the rear is a spare paper spine label. An outstanding production of an important work in the history of California written by a female author. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter bound in coarse white/brown linen with a paper spine label, the boards covered with plain brown paper, endpapers of the same brown paper, top edge gilt, limitation statement on the verso of the half-title page, this no. 224 of the total edition (450) and one of 50 printed on California bond-paper and with hand-coloured plates, signed by the publisher, tissue-guarded frontispiece one of eight bound in throughout, an extensive forward written by "the Printer", each section of the book with an intricately detailed chapter headpiece and opening in-text decoration, these both in blue; octavo size (8 5/8" by 5 5/8"), pagination: [2, blank recto with publisher's ad on verso ("Other Reprints Issued"), [i-iv] v-l [2, half-title with blank verso] 1-350 [1, printer's statement]. In the publisher's jacket of plain brown paper, gilt lettering and vignette on the front. ___CONDITION: Volume fine overall, the cloth spine and paper over the boards without wear, perfectly straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, all tissue guards present, the colour on the illustrations deep, and entirely free of prior owner markings; a hint of a spot of soil towards the bottom edge of the front board, a few spots of foxing to the fore-edge of the text block, and a few dark spots along the front hinge (likely from the glue). The dust jacket near fine, clean, remarkably free of edgewear, with just a few few spots of wear including a short closed tear at the top of the back joint. ___CITATION: Kuritz, no. 133; Wright-Howes (Final Edition), no. 433; Zamorano 80, no. 69: "Originally published in monthly instalments in 'The Pioneer; or, California Monthly Magazine', San Francisco: January, 1854-December, 1855.Not until 1922 were the letters reprinted in book form.[by] Thomas C.
