About This Item
[TWAIN, MARK] [Clemens, S. L.] New England Company. COMPLIMENTS OF THE NEW ENGLAND COMPANY, NEW YORK, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF MARK TWAIN... [New York: New England Co., 1899] Portfolio prospectus with above imprint, containing fifteen illustrations from the American Publishing Company edition of Twain's WORKS. Portfolio crepe paper envelope with silk tie and wax seal. Twain first heard of this company's activities when he got a letter from a bank president saying they'd tried to sell him a set of Twain's works. Twain forwarded that letter to Bliss on April 15, 1899 asking him to look into it (Machlis 05576), but in a story in the New York Herald of April 30, 1899 the New England Company is described as the authorized agent for the eastern half of the country, and their embossed stamp is found in many copies of the Royal Edition. The New England Company also issued a biographical sketch of Twain by A. E. Keller to promote the collected edition.
