FULLER, Margaret and EMERSON, Ralph Waldo (editors). THOREAU, Henry
David. THE DIAL: A MAGAZINE FOR LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY, AND RELIGION,
VOLUME II: July 1841, October 1841, January 1842, & April 1842. Boston &
London: E. P. Peabody/John Green, 1842. First Edition. Contemporary half
calf leather with calf corners and marbled boards; bound without
wrappers. A prototype of the 20th-century little magazine, the DIAL was
the most important American literary periodical of the 19th century and
one of the scarcest with print runs never exceeding 300 copies. First
edited by Margaret Fuller (1840-42) and then by Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1842-44), it not only featured many of their most important works but
also introduced the writings of Henry David Thoreau. Published only from
July 1840 to April 1844, Volume II's four issues contain two poems by
Thoreau, including his important "Friendship," later collected in his
first book, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, and much by Emerson including his
defining piece "Transcendentalism." Page 421 has an early ink
correction, possibly in the hand of the editor. Rubbing to spine and
boards. Tight, clean, and Near Fine. (#013163) $2,250.00
