[Rarebooks] FS: "One, if by land, and two, if by sea."

[Charles Agvent]

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, one of the five Fireside Poets, was the most 
popular American poet of the 19th century, best known for works like 
EVANGELINE, THE SONG OF HIAWATHA, and "*Paul Revere's Ride*." He was 
also the first American to translate Dante's THE DIVINE COMEDY.  About a 
month ago we uploaded to our website 37 select items by Longfellow, 
*including**many SIGNED items: letters, photographs, and books, with 
some fine association copies, *nearly all new arrivals and many still 
available.  Feel free to visit http://www.charlesagvent.com and click on
