Fenno Hoffman's The Vigil of Faith and Other Poems all found on pages 298-300 and attributed to Edgar A. Poe Table of Contents genreand notices miscellaneous essays editorial filler and even plate articles. Poe's stories found in these magazines would be considered first appearances of his works.

Bound in 3/4 black morocco over patterned cloth raised bands ruled in gilt lettering gilt wear to corners and edges light scattered foxing or staining.

19475343San Francisco: The Colt Press 1947 First book appearance of this work. Limited to 500 copies printed by the Grabhorn Press. Small quarto. 82pp. Seven color wood engravings by Mallette Dean. Handset Oxford type. Cloth-backed decorated boards paper spine label printed in blue and brown. A fine copy. This uncompleted journal originally appeared in 1840 in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine of which Poe was then editor. It appears that the "Journal" might be a made-up diary based on an account by John K. Townsend who in 1839 published a Narrative of a Journey across the Rocky Mountains. Other scholars contend that Poe's work might be based on an earlier trip of exploration into the interior regions of the North American continent not necessarily Townsend's account.
