TYPEE: Or A NARRATIVE OF A FOUR MONTHS RESIDENCE AMONG THE NATIVES OF
A VALLEY OF THE MARQUESAS ISLANDS: Or A PEEP AT POLYNESIAN LIFE. By
HERMAN MELVILLE. London: John Murray, Albemarle Street. 1847. 1 vol.
Sm. Cr. 8vo (4¾ × 7). Pp. xvi + 301 + (1). Pp. 287-301 are occupied
by _The Story of Toby_, a sequel to _Typee_ not previously
published. Publisher's advertisement precedes half-title proper,
occupying reverse of a series half-title of “The Home and Colonial
(_sic_) Library,” these two pages being inset on other than text
paper. Publisher's catalogue, Fcap. 8vo, 16 pp., dated March, 1847,
bound in at end. Red cloth, gilt, uniform with preceding item.

OMOO: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas. By HERMAN MELVILLE,
author of _Typee_. New York: Harper and Brothers, Publishers.
London: John Murray. 1847. 1 vol. Cr. 8vo (4⅞ × 7⅜). Pp. (408). The
pagination of this volume is very confusing. Pp. (1)-(16) are paged
xv + (i). Pp. 17-389 are so paged, p. (390) is unpaged, pp.
(391)-(399) are paged (xv) to xxiii, p. (400) is unpaged, and pp.
(401)-(408) are paged (1) to 8. Title-page printed in red and black,
half-title in red. Line-engraved map printed separately facing
title. Blue cloth, blocked in gold and blind. White end-papers.

NOTE—As an example of the varieties to be met with among
American publications of this date, I append a collation of
this same book, made by a friend from a copy seen in the
United States. The variation of binding and end-papers is
unimportant (see note on p. 220).

398, of which (1)-(9) are unpaged, (10)-(17) are paged in roman

OMOO: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas, being a sequel to
the _Residence in the Marquesas Islands_. By HERMAN MELVILLE, author
of _Typee_. London: John Murray, Albemarle Street. 1847. 1 vol. Sm.

printed on text paper facing title-page. Red cloth, gilt, uniform
with preceding item. Pale yellow end-papers.

the South Seas Murray.

(ii) A volume in Murray's “Colonial and Home Library” (No.
22). The Preface is dated New York, January 28, 1847.

(iii) Contemporary announcements of Murray's “Colonial and
Home Library” speak of an issue of this book in _two parts_,
“_sewed_,” and numbered respectively 43 and 44 of the
series. I have never seen such wrappered issues, but, to
judge by their numbering in the Library, they postdate the
edition above described.

1849

1849

MARDI: AND A VOYAGE THITHER. By HERMAN MELVILLE. New York: Harper and
Bros. Publishers, 82 Cliff Street. 1849. 2 vols. Ex. Cr. 8vo (4⅞ ×
7⅜).

Vol. 1. pp. (376). The paging is very irregular. Pp. (1) to (6) are
blank and unpaged; p. (7) is title-page; p. (8) bears note of the
book's official registration; p. (9) bears dedication; p. (10) is
blank; p. (11) bears preface dated New York, January, 1849; p. (12)
is blank; p. (13) is half-title; p. (14) is blank; pp. (15) to (18)
are occupied by List of Contents paged (ix) to xii; pp. (19) to
(371) are paged (13) to 365; pp. (372) to (376) are blank and
unpaged. Pp. (1) (2) and (375) (376) are pasted down to front and
back inside end-papers.

Vol. II. pp. (408), of which pp. (1)-(6) are blank and unpaged; p.
(7) is title-page; p. (8) bears note of the book's official
registration; p. (9) is half-title; p. (10) is blank; pp. (11)-(14)
are occupied by List of Contents paged (ix) to xii; pp. (15) to

(395)-(402) are occupied by publishers' advertisements paged (1) to

It should be noted that in each volume the printed half-title
follows the title-page.

1849

REDBURN: HIS FIRST VOYAGE. Being the Sailor boy confessions and
reminiscences of the son of a gentleman in the Merchant Service. By
HERMAN MELVILLE. Author of _Typee_, _Mardi_ etc. London: Richard
Bentley, New Burlington Street, 1849. 2 vols. Ex. Cr. 8vo (4⅞ × 7¾).

Vol. I. pp. viii + 316. No half-title.

Vol II. pp. viii + 314.

Dark blue cloth, gilt, blocked in blind, white end-papers patterned
in blue and printed with publisher's advertisements.

NOTES—(i) This book was published on September 29, 1849. The
English edition predates the American one. 750 copies were
printed.

(ii) I have seen a copy of this edition bearing on the case
the name of T. C. Newby as publisher, but with the Bentley
title-page. This was probably a “remainder” copy, for Newby
frequently bought sheets of books that had not sold when
originally published, and issued them at a cheaper price
wholly or partially over his imprint.

1849

REDBURN: HIS FIRST VOYAGE. Being the sailor boy confessions and
reminiscences of the son of a gentleman in the Merchant Service. By
HERMAN MELVILLE, Author of _Typee_, _Mardi_. New York: Harper and
Bros., Publishers, 82 Cliff Street. 1849. 1 vol. Cr. 8vo (4⅞ × 7½).
Pp. (420). The numbering of pages is very erratic. Pp. (1)-(6) are
blank and unpaged; p. (7) is title-page; p. (8) bears note of the
book's official registration; p. (9) bears dedication; p. (10) is
blank; pp. (11)-(17) are occupied by List of Contents paged (v)-xi;
p. (12) is blank; pp. (13) to 390 are so paged; pp. (391)-(394) are
unpaged and occupied by advertisements of other works by Melville;
pp. (395)-(406) form a publishers' list, dated October, 1849, and
paged (1) to 14; pp. (407) and (408) are occupied by publishers'
advertisements, undated, but paged (1) and 2; pp. (409)-(412) are
blank; pp. (413) and (414) are pasted down to inside back end-paper.
No printed half-title. Purple-brown cloth, gilt, blocked in blind.
Yellow end-papers.

NOTE—Copies of the first edition are found with fewer
advertisement pages at the end. These may well, in view of
the irregular nature of American bookmaking at that period,
be contemporary in issue with those more extensively
furnished, but the collector will naturally prefer a copy as
complete as possible.

registration; p. (9) bears quotation from Fuller's _Good
Sea-Captain_; p. (10) bears author's note, dated New York, March,

(ii) Vol. I. only has half-title, on which the story is
described as _The Whale or Moby Dick_.

in blind. Pale yellow end-papers.

NOTES—(i) This book was published in November, 1852.

(ii) This English edition consists of American printed
sheets with cancel title. It is as scarce as, if not scarcer
than, the American edition, the bulk of which was destroyed
by fire.

1855

ISRAEL POTTER: HIS FIFTY YEARS OF EXILE. By HERMAN MELVILLE. Author of
_Typee_, _Omoo_ etc. New York: G. P. Putnam and Co., 10 Park Place.

(2)]. No printed half-title. Purple-brown cloth, gilt, blocked in

1855

ISRAEL POTTER: HIS FIFTY YEARS OF EXILE. By HERMAN MELVILLE, author of

Street. 1855. 1 vol. Fcap. 8vo (4 × 6½). Pp. 174. Bright yellow
paper wrappers printed in black. The outside back wrapper is

1856

THE PIAZZA TALES. By HERMAN MELVILLE, author of _Typee_, _Omoo_, etc.
etc. New York: Dix and Edwards, 321 Broadway. London: Sampson Low,
Son and Co. 1856. 1 vol. Cr. 8vo (4¾ × 7⅛). Pp. (vi) + 431 + (11).
No printed half-title. Publishers' advertisements, unpaged and
undated, occupy pp. (433)-(439). Purple-brown cloth, blocked in gold
and blind. Grey-blue end-papers.

_Contents_: The Piazza—Bartleby—Benito Cereno—The
Lightning-Rod Man—The Encantadas; or Enchanted Islands—The
Bell-Tower.

NOTES—(i) This book was published in May or June, 1856.

(ii) It is doubtful whether copies of this book were ever
actually issued in England, despite the fact that Sampson
Low and Co. advertised the book at 9s. in June, 1856. At the
most, copies may exist with an English cancel title, but
even this is improbable in view of the joint imprint on the
New York edition. It will be noted that when previously Low
imported Melville sheets (_cf._ _Pierre_, 1852) they
inserted their own title-page and bound the book differently
for English issue, but in that case their name was not
printed on the American edition.

(iii) Copies of the first American edition exist, with pale
yellow end-papers. These are thinner in quality than the
grey-blue ones above mentioned, and not chalk surfaced to
the extent usual with American tinted papers of the period.
Indeed, they have more the appearance of English than of
American end-papers, but it is difficult to believe that
Sampson Low and Co. could have imported sheets and cases
from America, merely carrying out in this country the
process of binding.

II.—BOOKS PARTIALLY WRITTEN
BY HERMAN MELVILLE

There are only two items that it is possible to list under this heading, and to each one of them Melville's contribution is so slight as to make unnecessary their detailed collation. P. 30 of the _Memorial to James Fenimore Cooper_, published in one volume by Putnam, New York, in 1852, bears a letter from Melville in praise of Cooper addressed to the Committee organizing the Cooper celebration. Pp. 399 and 400 of _The History of Pittsfield, Massachusetts from 1800 to 1876_, by J. E. A. Smith, and published in Springfield by C. W. Bryan and Co., 1876, bear an account of Major Thomas Melville written by Herman Melville, but not nominally attributed to him.
