FINE LITERATURE

FROM THE

COLLECTION OF RICHARD C. MCKENZIE Lots 1-298

For many years now Kathy and I have been collecting and selling used and rare books. Kathy and I both grew up loving reading and finding many delights in the books we read. We started to go to various “rare book” events, especially antiquarian book fairs such as the ones held, yearly, in NY and Boston. We began collecting favorite authors (such as Hawthorne, Bellow, Ted Hughes, et al). As our collection grew, we realized that we were passing up other good books at good prices. So, we decided to buy some of these in order to branch out into the selling of used and rare books. As a former teacher of literature (US and UK), I came easily, with Kathy and her wide-ranging knowledge of literature, to the selling of used and rare books.

At some point we were contacted by Richard who started to buy our books. After a time, Richard called to tell us he wanted us to be his booksellers. That is, we would pursue books (rare books and first editions) that he would purchase in order to build a collection (which would be an addition to his fine art collection). We then started to visit shows and antiquarian book fairs in order to find books for his growing collection. Over time we would search out and send to Greenwich many of the famous authors of the 19th and 20th centuries. We found authors as various as Hawthorne and Melville and P.G. Wodehouse and Stephen King. We were also able to “care for” the collection by organizing and shelving the books in the Greenwich house. On one occasion, we stayed over for a couple of nights in order to work on the placement in the Greenwich bookcases.Over time, the rare book collection grew to be an excellent collection of many great and lesser known authors and titles. Of course it included major authors like Steinbeck and Hemingway, Hawthorne and Melville. It also includes writers such as Wodehouse, Byron, Bierce, Fante, Wharton, Stowe, Dillard and many others. Richard trusted us to build a collection of wide-ranging authors and titles.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION OF THE AUTHOR’S ONLY BOOK, cloth issue (also appeared in wrappers, no priority) published only 5 months after the true first edition printed in London. During her brief lifetime, the reclusive Emily Bronte chose the pseudonym “Ellis Bell” for her publications.

It would not be until 1850, with the publication of Charlotte’s Biographical�Notice�of�Ellis�and� Acton�Bell, that Emily’s authorship was revealed - more than a year following her untimely death from consumption at age 30, in December, 1848.

8vo. 27 plates after drawings by the author. Original gilt lettered green cloth, black top stain (extremities sunned); in unrestored unclipped dust jacket (spine sunned, some minor wear at extreme ends and fore-corners).

FIRST EDITION, based on the author’s own addiction to, and recovery from, opium in 1929. “He explains that initially under the drug’s spell he had lived some of his finest hours, during which he opened himself up to the deepest layers of his being and experienced feelings of euphoria. But opium was a ‘living substance’ and like all drugs exacts a price. The opium-eater is, as he puts it, eventually eaten by opium” (Williams, p.142).

FIRST EDITION, containing the first printings of three of Coleridge’s most celebrated poems. Coleridge began writing “Christabel” as early as 1803. “Kubla Khan,” which Coleridge composed one night after he experienced an opium-influenced dream in 1797, could not be completed according to his original plan; while writing, Coleridge was interrupted by “a person from Porlock,” and the interruption caused him to forget the lines. He would read the poem periodically to Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and other friends, and in April 1816, Byron persuaded him to publish the visionary Kubla Khan and Christabel.

FIRST EDITION, IN THE FIRST BINDING. Go Down, Moses, a collection of seven related pieces of short fiction, is sometimes considered a novel.

FIRST EDITION OF HEMINGWAY’S FIRST NOVEL. Hemingway’s earlier works established his reputation in literary circles, but by 1925, he had not gained broader public recognition, which he attributed to his restrictive contract with Boni and Liveright, who published his earlier works. He wrote Torrents of Spring in a few weeks in November of 1925, and Boni and Liveright rejected it quickly. “I have known all along,” Hemingway wrote Fitzgerald, that the firm “could not and would not be able to publish it as it makes a bum out of their present ace and best seller Anderson” (Selected Letters, p.183). The contract broken, Hemingway signed with Scribners, and The Torrents of Spring was�published�on�28�May�1926��A�BRIGHT�COPY�� Hanneman�A4a�

In essence, the racial ills chronicled in the novel appear to have been realistically drawn from the author’s life” (100 Banned Books, pp. 404–405).

FIRST EDITION of Plath’s only novel, a roman à clef published pseudonymously one month before her death. Plath reportedly began writing the novel in 1961 following the publication of The Colossus, and finished the work in August of that year. Describing the work to her mother, Plath wrote: “What I’ve done is to throw together events from my own life, fictionalising to add color—it’s a pot boiler really, but I think it will show how isolated a person feels when he is suffering a breakdown... I’ve tried to picture my world and the people in it as seen through the distorting lens of a bell jar” (qtd. in Wagner-Martin, Sylvia Plath, Biographical Note p.294-5). The Bell Jar would�not�appear�under�her�name�until�1967�and�was� blocked�from�publication�in�the�United�States�by�her�mother�and�Ted�Hughes�until� 1971�

FIRST EDITION. “MS. Found in a Bottle” was submitted by Poe to a short story competition held by the Baltimore Sunday Visiter in September 1833, and was unanimously selected by the judges as the winner. When Poe the following year appealed to one of the judges, John Pendleton Kennedy, for help in furthering his career, Kennedy arranged to have “MS. Found in a Bottle” reprinted in The Gift. Outraged that it was a previously published story which was published, Poe wrote that “I not only told Mr. Carey that it had been published...[I] sent him another tale in place of it. I cannot understand why they have published it...” Heartman and Canny, 36-37.

POE, Edgar Allan (1809-1849). “The Cask of Amontillado.” Extracted from: Godey’s Lady Book, Vol. XXXIII-17. Philadelphia: Louis A. Godey, November 1846.

4to (248 x 159 mm). (Light intermittent spotting throughout.) Modern full calf with morocco overlays in green, black, ivory, yellow, and gold depicting Fortunato wearing his jester’s hat.

FIRST PRINTING of one of Edgar Allan Poe’s most famous stories. “The Cask of Amontillado” was written in response to an 1846 novel by Poe’s rival, Thomas Dunn English, which prominently featured an abusive drunkard named Marmaduke Hammerhead who was prone to shouting “Nevermore!” and referring to “the lost Lenore” ad nauseam. Despite having successfully sued English and his editors for libel Poe included numerous direct references to English’s novel throughout the story, which was published only twice before Poe’s death in October 1849. Heartman and Canny, 201.

$600 - 800

12mo (163 x 88 mm). (Very light spotting.) Original full vellum, unopened (spotting, browning to endpapers, top edge slightly soiled).

LIMITED EDITION, number 49 of 100 copies. Tamerlane and Other Poems was first printed anonymously in 1827, presumably because Poe did not want his stepfather with whom he’d had a recent falling out to know where he was; it believed that his decision to publish as “A Bostonian” was a further attempt to disguise his whereabouts from his family. The first edition consisted of what is believed to have been around 50 copies, of which only 12 are accounted for today. This edition, the first to be printed in its original form since Poe’s original, is a type facsimile created from a copy then held at the British Museum and is the earliest known reprint.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

Conditions of Sale

All bidders with Freeman’s | Hindman must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.

Viewing Auction Items

It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Freeman’s | Hindman for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.

Estimates

Freeman’s | Hindman provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports

We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES

Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS

We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Freeman’s | Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4. ESTIMATES

Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL

We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING

IN THE AUCTION

(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted

once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Freeman’s | Hindman sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4.

SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES

Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Freeman’s | Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Freeman’s | Hindman prior to the sale.

2. TAXES

The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot.

(a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time.

(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.

(c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement

or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report.

(d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS

(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys.

(b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue.

(c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.

(d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES

You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

(c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE.

Conditions of Sale

to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.
