BRARY EXHIBITS
RARE EDITIONS OF
THORE WORKS
Dr. Adams' Collection of Essay
ist's Books Displayed for
Literature Class.
tt The books now on exhibition
in the entrance of the Univer
sity library are first editions of
the works of Henry D. Thoreau
and are being displayed for the
American literature class, Eng
lish 59. These are a part of a
collection of four hundred
books by or pertaining to
Thoreau, which Dr. Raymond
Adams of the English depart
ment has gathered during the
past seven years.
The display consists of ten
first editions of Thoreau, and
one book from Thoreau's li
brary contains, his signature.
Included in the collection are
two of the rarest books in
American literature the first
edition of A Week on the Con
cord and Merrimack Rivers,
published in 1849, and a first
edition of Wold en, published in
1854.
Two recent books, Sir Walter
Raleigh, and The Service, pub
lished since 1900, represent es
says discovered among manu
scripts of lectures delivered by
Thoreau. . . ,
Ihe book containing TboV.
eau's signature was his miner
alogy textbook which he gave to
Ralph Waldo Emerson's daugh
ter, Ellen. The. book was given
to Mr. Adams last summer by
Raymond Emerson, grandson of
the Concord author.
Other first editions of Thor
eau s works which are on dis
play are : Excursions, 1863 ;
Poems of Nature, 1895: Letters
to Various Persons, 1865; The
Maine Woods, 1864; Cape Cod,
1865 ; A Yankee in Canada, with
Anti-Slavery and Reform Pa
pers, 1866.
Mr. Adams stated that he
saw the first edition of Walden,
which he now owns, advertised
in a book dealers catalog less
than five years ago for $6. This
edition now sells anywhere from
$100 to $500. The edition of
Excursions was bought from a
dealer for $3 who failed to
realize the recent increase in
value of first editions of Thor
eau's works. This is the second
copy of Excursions owned by
Mr. Adams, and is interesting
to North Carolinians ' because
the book once belonged to a sea
captain who wrote a note on one
of the pages telling of. having
seen certain diving birds in
Newbern which Thoreau men
tions having seen in Massachu
setts. ,
Mr. Adams has one of the
1862 copies of A Week on the
Concord and Merrimack Rivers
which is as rare as a ; first edi
tion. This is a first edition with
a new title page and is one of
the seven, hundred1 copies return
ed to Thoreau unsold. After his
death, these books- were re
bought by the publishers arid re
issued in 1862.
