2017BIBHB0086157152017. Hardcover. New. ABOUT THE BOOK: Eureka describes Poe's intuitive conception of the nature of the universe with no antecedent scientific work done to reach his conclusions. He also describe man's relationship with God whom he compares to an author. Though it is generally considered a literary work some of Poe's ideas anticipate 20th century scientific discoveries and theories. Indeed a critical analysis of the scientific content of Eureka reveals a noncausal correspondence with modern cosmology due to the assumption of an evolving universe but excludes the anachronistic anticipation of relativistic concepts such as black holes. Eureka was received poorly in Poe's day and generally described as absurd even by friends. Modern critics continue to debate the significance of Eureka and some doubt its seriousness. It is written in a progressive manner that anticipates its audience. The author uses more metaphors further into the work in the belief that the reader becomes more interested. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Edgar A. Poe 18091849 was an American writer editor and literary critic. Poe is best known for his poetry and short stories particularly his tales of mystery and the macabre.

1848140948979New York: George P. Putnam 1848. First Edition. Very Good. First edition first issue of the famous American author's take on physics and cosmology that preceded the Big Bang Theory by nearly a century. 143 15 1 pp. Bound in publisher's straight-grained black cloth stamped in blind and spine lettered in gilt with Eureka having no reviews at p. 2 of advertisements. Very Good with slight lean to binding minor loss of cloth at crown and corners with crimping at foot. Light soiling and staining to cloth with faint scuffing and wear; small nick to top edge of front board. Modest foxing to peach endpapers tiny nick to rear endpaper with associated staining to rear blank. <p>A rather odd deviation from his poetical oeuvre that followed a serious illness related in part to alcoholism the death of his wife and thoughts of his own mortality Poe turned to the heavens for consolation. Adapted from a lecture and written from intuition the book presents his theory of the universe's creation and destiny proposing that all matter originated from a single point and will eventually return to it driven by forces of attraction and repulsion. An eerily prescient book that predicted several modern theories of physics. While riddled with scientific errors it includes one of the first credible solutions to Olbers' paradox anticipating Kelvin. Rare to market as it is one of only 500 copies published by Putnam due in part to its peculiar subject matter just a year before the author's puzzling death. BAL 16153. George P. Putnam unknown

1848140614New York: George P. Putnam 1848. First edition first issue of Poe's classic work. Duodecimo original publishers blind stamped black cloth with gilt lettering to the spine. First issue without the review for Eureka on page 2 of the 16 page catalogue at the end of the book but reads simply: “Poe. — Eureka A Prose Poem: Or the Physical and Metaphysical Universe. By Edgar A. Poe Esq.†In very good condition with some light rubbing to the extremities rebacked. Housed in a custom clamshell box. Rare. Poe considered Eureka his magnum opus but Putnam only agreed to publish 500 copies due to the unique nature of the material. Eureka has often been misunderstood and ridiculed but it is in fact a remarkable precursor of several modern theories of physics and a powerful essay on the material and spiritual universe. Poe hypothesized that the universe began at a set point in the past and was finite rather than infinite. In arguing that the Universe of Stars must be finite he appeals to the evidence of observed experience. Poe wrote “Were the succession of stars endless then the background of the sky would present us an uniform luminosity like that displayed by the Galaxy–since there could be absolutely no point in all that background at which would not exist a star. The only mode therefore in which under such a state of affairs we could comprehend the voids which our telescopes find in innumerable directions would be by supposing the distance of the invisible background so immense that no ray from it has yet been able to reach us at all. That this may be so who shall venture to deny I maintain simply that we have not even the shadow of a reason for believing that it is so.†BAL 16153. George P. Putnam hardcover
