An Exceptional First Edition of "Moby-Dick" in the Original Cloth MELVILLE, Herman. Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1851. First American edition (first published in three volumes in London under title: The Whale). Twelvemo (7 3/8 x 4 7/8 inches; 188 x 125 mm). xxiii, [1, blank], 634, [1, ìEpilogueî], [1, blank], [6, ads], [2, blank] pp. BAL first binding of publisherís green-blue ìAî cloth. Covers stamped in blind with a heavy rule frame and publisherís circular device at center, spine decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt. Original orange coated endpapers. Double flyleaves at front and back. Gilt on spine is bright. Cloth with some light sunning to spine and some minor soiling to boards. Some minor chipping to head and tale of spine. Light scattered foxing, better than usually found. Binding slightly skewed. Previous owner's old ink signature on front endpaper. Still a superb copy, totally unsophisticated. Chemised and housed in a quarter morocco slipcase. ì[Melvilleís] great book, Moby Dick, was a complete practical failure, misunderstood by the critics and ignored by the public; and in 1853 the Harpersí fire destroyed the plates of all of his books and most of the copies remaining in stock [only about sixty copies survived the fire]...Melvilleís permanent fame must always rest on the great prose epic of Moby Dick, a book that has no equal in American literature for variety and splendor of style and for depth of feelingî (D.A.B. XII, pp. 522-526). ìMoby Dick is the great conundrum-book. Is it a profound allegory with the white whale the embodiment of moral evil, or merely the finest story of the sea ever written?î (Grolier, 100 American). ìThe publishers used as their text Melvilleís original manuscript. The Whale, as issued in London, was set from New York sheets, with Melvilleís alterationsî (BAL). ìThis book was expurgated for publication in England, the American text containing thirty-five passages not included in Bentleyís editionî (Sadleir, Excursions in Victorian Bibliography, p. 339). BAL 13664. Grolier, 100 American, 60. HBS 68502. $75,000
