The dates 1840, 1843, 1845, refer to the respective col- . lected editions. The first group of each body of notes gives the variations of the earliest collated form of the tale from the text of the edition, the reading of the text standing first, with the corresponding reading of the collated form in parentheses. In order to economize space, the second, third, or fourth state was in most cases collated with the earliest forms, the reading of the later form being placed first in the notes, with the earliest form in parentheses. (:98) INTRODUCTKMJ TO THE NOTES

THE works of few authors have been subjected by the authors themselves to such careful and repeated revision as were the Tales of Poe. The great majority of these tales were published in magazines, newspapers, or volumes at least twice, sometimes as many as four or ﬁve times, during Poe‘s lifetime; and on nearly every republication the Tales appeared in a revised form, the revision varying in extent from a few unimportant emendations to the careful reconstruction of almost every sentence. Poe never seemed fully content with any state of his work, correcting and emending with manuscript notes on the margin even the latest printed form as found in the edition of 134.5 and in the Broadway journal. The carelessness of editors and of printers of that period was a source of constant irritation to him, and he was ever fearful that the work which he had been at suchpains to IsnI‘anP umnlll kn knnnrlprl and ynnrilntnrl at tltPiI' lwnllc

The words taken as the motto of this edition, “I am naturally anxious that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all," express clearly his intense solicitude for the preservation of the integrity of his work, and it is in the hope of fulﬁlling as nearly as possible this earnest desire that the present work on his text has been undertaken. Poe was unfortunate in having as the ﬁrst editor of his collected works a man so entirely lacking in sympathy for him as was Griswold, and the result was an edition incom- plete in matter and very defective in typography. Up to (=99) 300 NOTES.

the present time nearly every editor has been content to accept the Griswold text with all or most of its blunders, and at the same time to present new errors not found in the, original. In order to determine to what extent the best editions of recent years vary from the Griswold text, and when such variations are justifiable, a careful collation has been made of the Stedman Sc Woodberry, Stoddard, and Ingram texts with the Griswold, and the results, so far as regards the principal verbal deviations, set down in the Notes. The changes justified by the last form of a tale or by manuscript notes are indicated ; others are the result of error or unwarranted change by the editor under discussion. The variations in punctuation are too numerous to catalogue; but it may be stated inl general terms that Stoddard follows Griswold closely,- Ingram varies chiefly through numerous omissions,- and Stedman S: V‘Voodberry have made extensive revisions throughout with a view to conforming to modern notions. The Stedman & Woodberry edition was the first (that is, if we disregard Ingram with his few corrections) to start on independent lines, and attempt to establish a trust- worthy text by reference to the original sources ; but the end has been but imperfectly accomplished. Some ofthe Broadway journal variant readings, together with the manuscript notes, and most of the Lorimer Graham manuscript corrections, have been introduced, but Poe’s punc— tuation has been ignored even when a correction in such occurs in his own handwriting; capitals have been changed to small letters and small letters to capitals; italics have been disregarded in many cases; a “corrected form" has been substituted for the quotations as given by Poe; the spelling has been altered to conform to present-day “usage and taste " ; and with the exception of the edition of 1 3.1.5 and the Broadway yaurnal, little use seems to have been made of other final forms, as very few of their variant readings appear in the text. The Stoddard edition is founded on Griswold, but TALES. 301 alters, omits, or inserts numerous words without the authority of the original issue or the manuscript notes of Poe. Some of the typographical errors of Griswold are corrected, but at the same time some of the worst blunders are retained. As hinted above, Ingram did not accept the text of Griswold absolutely, but made some few changes on the authority of the Broadway 701mm], and altered a foreign word here and there. \Vhatever improvement appears is offset by a number of verbal errors. In several instances unwarranted liberties have been taken with the text, as in the passage in “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” where the editor attempts to improve the sense by re- modelling the sentence, and again the omission of two sentences in “ The Tell-tale Heart.” (See Notes.) The earlier Graham state of “The Oval Portrait," with alterations in spelling and punctuation, is published by Ingram in preference to the shortened form as it appeared later in the Broadway 7om-Iml, sanctioned by Poe. In the present edition the latest form of the tale printed in Poe's lifetime has been taken as the text, wherever this form was known and accessible, and this original issue has been followed as closely as possible, the only changes made being the insertion of manuscript notes of Poe, the correction of a few obvious errors on the authority of an earlier state of the tale, and the correction by the Editor of foreign or technical words ; but in every case where the original text is changed, the fact is stated in the Notes. Under no circumstances has unwarranted liberty been taken with either spelling, punctuation, or verbiage, but the aim has been to preserve the text as nearly as possible as Poe wrote it. In the Notes, readings of the text variant from Griswold will be found with the Griswold form immediately following in parcn~ theses. In the case of a foreign or a technical word cor- rectcd by the Editor, the corrected form comes first enclosed in square brackets, with the incorrect Griswold form following in parentheses, as elsewhere.

302 NOTES.

The Broadway ffazmml furnishes the text for forty-one of Poe's tales, and as most of these were printed under his own eye and supervision, we are to expect greater typographical accuracy here than elsewhere; and such we find to be the case. We have further the advantage of knowing that Poe must have been fairly well satisfied with the work, as the corrections made by him in manuscript in his own copy of the jam-7m! are confined to one verbal change and the correction of a few typographical errors. A few obvious errors, however, were overlooked by Poe, and these have been corrected in this edition on the authority of an earlier text. The Duyckinck edition of 1845 contains the latest form for eleven more of the Tales. Here, too, we have the final seal of authority in the revisions as found in the Lorimer Graham copy, formerly owned by Poe. These manuscript corrections are much more numerous than those found in the Broad-way 701mm], but are confined to “The Gold Bug," “A Descent into the Mael- strom," “ The Murders in the Rue Morgue,“ “The Mystery of Marie Rogét," “The Purloincd Letter," “The Man of the Crowd," and “Mesmeric Revela- tion,“ the last two, however, having only one slight correction each. In “The Gold Bug ” the emendations are much more frequent than in any of the others, and some are quite important. All the manuscript corrections in “ A Descent into the Maelstr'o'm," as well as several in “The Gold Bug" and in “The Mystery of Marie Roget,” and nearly all the corrections in punctuation appear in this edition for the first time incorporated in a printed text. The above mentioned constitute the extent of known manuscript corrections in the Tales; elsewhere we have to accept the printed form as final. “ Thou art the Man,“ “ The Cask of Amontillado," and “Mellonta Tauta" follow the text as found in Godey's Lady's Book. “The Cask of Amontillado ” appears in a somewhat revised form in Griswold, but as TALES. V 303 we have no positive evidence that these changes were made by Poe, the Godey form was preferred for the text, the Griswold readings being placed in the Notes. “The Domain of Arnheim" and “The Angel of the Odd " follow the Columbian Magazine form. The original form of the latter of these, which had eluded the search of recent editors, was lately discovered by the present writer in the Calambian Magazine of October, 1844.. “The System of Dr. Tarr and Prof. Fether” follows Graham. “The Balloon Hoax” has been taken from Griswold, the original issue in the Ne-w York Sm: having been filched from the files in the Sim office. “ The Elk (Morning on the Wissahiccon)," which appears in a slightly altered form in the Stedman & Woodberry edition, is here accurately reproduced from the original form in “ The Opal " of :844. “ I-Ians Pfaall " and “ Met- zengerstein“ do not follow 1840, but in these two the Griswold readings are preferred as undoubtedly founded on a revised form of the text in the hands of the editor. “ The Thousand and Second Tale" also shows evidence of some revision in Griswold, several insertions and emendations occurring; these changes have been retained in the text, which elsewhere conforms to the Broadway ffaurnal. “ A. Gordon Pym " follows the text of the edition of 1838. “ The Journal of Julius Rodman " is taken from the original in Burton’: Gentleman‘: Magazine. “The Imp of the Pcrverse" is the only tale the final form of which was known, that is not followed in the original, for the “Mayflower" was not accessible for collation, and the Griswold text had to be accepted instead. For the rest of the tales, “ Hop Frog,“ “ X— ing a Paragrab," “ The Sphinx," “ Von Kempelen and His Discovery," and “Landor'sCottagc,” the final form has so far eluded search, and in these Griswold has of necessity been followed. Besides establishing an authentic text for this edition, the editors have made a careful collation with the text of all available original issues in order that the strident of

304. NOTES.

Poe.may determine the extent of the revision each tale underwent from one publication to another and may trace the gradual transformation of the text to its highly finished state under the repeated touches of the master‘s hand. The results of these collations have been collected into groups of notes arranged in chronological order. The first group of each body of notes gives the variations of the earliest collated form of the tale from the text of the edition, the reading of the text standing first, with the corresponding reading of the collated form in parentheses. In order to economize space, the second, third, or fourth state was in most cases collated with the earliest form, the reading of the later form being placed first in the Notes with the earliest form in parentheses. The collation has been of the most minute character, attempting to show even the slightest deviation in punctuation as well as the most important verbal changes. Every known text, with a few exceptions, has been collated. The uncollated known texts are those in the Philadelphia papers and in the “Mayflower," which were not accessible, and “ The Baltimore Saturday Visiter,“ “The Flag of Our Union," and the exceedingly rare edition of 184.3. “ Prose Romances of Edgar A. l’oe," none of which can be located. As before stated, the revisions discovered by collation vary considerably in extent, being now confined to several slight changes in punctuation and verbiage, again amounting to a rewriting verbally of the whole tale. As to the character of these changes, we (ind the'phraseology polished and simplified, objectionable passages omitted. the punctuation improved, titles altered, typographical errors and inaccuracies of various kinds corrected, mot- toes added or omitted, notes introduced, and so on. Of the forty—one tales that appeared in the Broadway j’omwal, nearly all are found there in a far more revised state than in any previous publication. Besides the other changes, several of the tales were shortened, one considerably. 1n “Berenice” one gruesome paSsage was TALES. 305

omitted entirely. In “ Morella" the hymn is left out. “ Lionizing “ was extensively revised, so many variations being noted that they would occupy nearly as much space as the tale itself, so here the earliest, Sour/tern Literary .Merreuger, form is given in the Notes instead. “ Loss of ' Breath“ was abridged more than any other tale, several pages describing the death on the gallows and subsequent burial being left out entirely. “ The Oval Portrait " is shortened by the omission of all the passages referring to the use of opium. “The Business Man“ is the only tale that occurs in the Bread-way 70mm! lengthened to any considerable extent. A number of the other Broad- rway yam-1m! tales show the omission or insertion of a sentence or phrase here and there, but in no others is such variation in length discovered as in those above mentioned. In the collation of the tales of the edition of 184.5 with the earlier form of these tales, the changes are found to be in general less extensive than those observed in the case of the Broadway yam-Ital tales. However, in some instances this revision was considerable, as in “ The Murders in the Rue Morgue," “ The Mystery of Marie Roget,“ and “ The Fall of the House of Usher.“ The extent of revision in “ The Gold Bug ” and “ The Black Cat" cannot be stated, as the earlier issues could not be found and were not collated. Of the tales other than those in the Broadway j’ournal and in the 184.5 edition, the greater part are not known to have appeared in print more than once, and the rest show no great revision in their latest form, except “ The Imp of the Perverse," which underwent extensive verbal emendation. The first chapters of “ A. Gordon Pym," which were published in the Soul/tern Literary Manager, appear but slightly revised in the edition of 1338. The tales of the edition of 184.0 which appeared in the Sour/Jeri; Literary Mes-1mg” show no great number of variations from the latter form. In general a few verbal VOL. II.— no 306 NOTES.

Norm—The editions used in collation were : —- Ingram (The Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe I by John H. Ingram [ in four volumes | London |John C. Nimmo | 1884.); Stedman 8: Woodberry (The Works of Edgar Allan Poe ] Chicago [ Stone 8.: Kimball [ MDCCCXCV) ; Stoddard (Fordham Edition I New York 1 A. C. Armstrong 8: Son | 1895); Griswold (1.5. Red-

ﬁeld, New York, t849-5o 56). The text of the Tales in the Ingram edition published by Black of Edinburgh was also collated, and found to be substantially the same as the same editor‘s edition published by Nimmo.

Text : Broadway your/ml.

The earliest form of this tale could not be collated, as no ﬁle of the Baltimore Saturday Visiler is known. The Saulbcrn Literary Messenger state shows a number of variations from the text, and closely resembles T/ze Gift state; in fact, below the title in the Saul/tern Literaly Messenger the announce- ment is made that the tale was “ From The Gift, edited by Miss Leslie." The 184.0 shows few verbal variations from the text. Griswold has several verbal changes as well as variations in punctuation.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, MARCH, 1835; 1840; BROADWAY JOURNAL, I., 14..

The text follows the Broadway yournal. Griswold has a number of variations from Broadway yournol, but these are con- ﬁned to punctuation and spelling. 184.0 shows slight revision from Soutbern Literary zifessengcr. The next state (Broadway j‘ournol) is carefully revised from 184.0. Numerous changes were made in phraseology and punctuation, and one gruesome passage of some length omitted entirely.

The room was large, and very dark, and at every step within its gloomy precincts I encountered the paraphernalia of the grave. The coflin, so a menial told me, lay surrounded by the curtains of yonder bed, and in that coflin, he whisperingly assured me, was all that remained of Berenice. Who was it asked me would I not look upon the corpse? I had seen the lips of no one move, yet the question had been demanded, and the echo of the syllables still lingered in the room. It was impossible to refuse; and with a sense of suffoca~ tion I dragged myself to the side of the bed. Gently I uplifted the sable draperies of the curtains. As I let them fall they descended upon my shoulders, and shutting me thus out from the living, enclosed me in the strictest communion with the deceased. The very atmosphere was redolent of death. The peculiar smell of the coffin sickened me,- and I fancied a deleterious Odor was already exhaiing from the body. I would have given worlds to escape—to fly from the pernicious influence of mortality —tO breathe once again the pure air of the eternal heavens. But I had no longer the power to move—my knees tottered beneath me—and I remained rooted to the spot, and gazing upon the frightful length of the rigid body as it lay outstretched in the dark cotl'm without a lid. God of heaven 1 —is it possible? Is it my brain that reeled—or was it indeed the finger of the en~ shrouded dead that stirred in the white ccrement that bound it? Frozen with unutterable awe I slowly raised my eyes to the countenance of the corpse. There had

been a band around the jaws, but, I know not how, it was broken asunder. The livid lips were wreathed in :1 Species of smile, and, through the enveloping gloom, once again there glared upon me in too palpable a reality, ‘ the white and glistening, and ghastly teeth of Berenice. I sprang eonvulsively from the bed, and, uttering no word, rushed forth a maniac from that apartment of triple horror, and mystery, and death.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, APRIL, 1335 ; BUR- 'rON’s, GENTLEMAN’S MAGAZINE. NOVEMBER, 1839; 184.0; BROADWAY JOURNAL, 1., :5.

The text follows the Broadway journal. Griswold has several verbal variations from the text. 184.0 shows a number of variations from the earlier (Sour/tern Literary [1155:01ng form. In the Gentleman‘: [Magazine the mic has the following state- ment preﬁxed :— “ Extracted by permission of the publishers, Messrs. Lea and Blanchard from forthcoming ‘Tales of the Gro- tesque and Arabesque,‘ " and this is borne out by the very slight ditTerence in the two texts. The tale appears again, revised, in the Broadway journal. The most important variation from the earlier Form is the omission of Morella‘s hymn, with necessary alteration of adjacent passages.

Variation: of Southern Literary Merrenger from the text. Motto:—ItJe1f . . . Jingle. (ditto .l'atb‘auto met/1’- emton, mono eide: aei on. Itself alone by itself -— eternally one and single.)

TALES. 323 SOME PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF A LION. [LIONIZING.]

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, MAY, 1835; 184.0; 1845,- BROADWAY JOURNAL, I., 11.

NOTE: The text follows the Broadway yournal. Griswold shows a number of variations in punctuation, spelling, and accent. 184.5 diﬂ'ers in no respect from Griswold. The variations of the text from the Southern Literary [Messenger state are so numerous that it was deemed best to reprint the entire tale in its earliest form (see below). 184.0 shows moderate revision from Sour/Jam Literary Alersenger. The next revision was extensive. There is hardly a sentence of any length that was not rewarded. It will be observed, however, that, although the phraseology was thoroughly revised, the incidents were retained unchanged throughout.

LION—IZING. A TALE. (Soul/tern Literary Memenger.)

. . . all people went Upon their ten toes in wild wonderment. Bis/mp Hui/’1 Salim. I AM ——that is to say, I war, a great man. But I am neither the author of Junius, nor the man in the mask —- for my name is Thomas Smith, and Iwas born some- where in the city of F urn-Fudge. The ﬁrst action of my life was the taking hold of my nose with both hands. My mother saw this and called me a genius. My father wept for joy, and bought me a treatise on Nosology. Before I was breeched I had not only mastered the treatise, but had collected into a common-place book all that is said on the subject. by Pliny, Aristotle, Alexander Ross, Minutius Felix, Hermanus Pictorius, Del Rio, Villarét, Bartholinus, and Sir Thomas Browne. I now began to feel my way in the science, and soon came to understand, that, provided a man has a nose suf- ﬁciently big, he might, by merely following it, arrive at

3 24. NOTES. a Lionship. But my attention was not confined to theories alone. Every morning I took a dram or two, and gave my proboscis a couple of pulls. When I came of ago my father sent for me to his study. ‘ My son ’ —said he — ‘ what is the chief end of your existence ? ‘ ‘ Father ’ --—I said— ‘ it is the study of Nosology.‘ ‘ And what, Thomas ’—he continued— ‘is Nos- ology P ’ ‘ Sir’ —I replied -— ‘it is the science of Noses.” ‘ And can you tell me ’ — he asked— ‘ what is the meaning of a nose? ' ‘ A nose, my father ' — said I— ‘ has been variously defined, by about a thousand different authors. It is now noon, or thereabouts. \Ve shall therefore have time enough to get through with them all by midnight. To commence : —- The nose, according to Bartholinus, is that protuberance, that bump, that execrescence, that ’ — ‘ That will do. Thomas ‘—said my father. ‘I am positively thunderstruck at the extent of your information ——I am, upon my soul — come here! (and he took me by the arm.) Your education may be considered as finished, and it is high time you should scuflle for your- selt'—so——so-——- so (here he kicked me down stairs and our. of the door,) so get out of my house, and God bless you 1’ As I felt within me the divine afiamr, I considered this accident rather fortunate than otherwise, and determined to follow my nose. So I gave it a pull or two, and wrote a pamphlet on Nosology. All Fum-Fudge was m an uproar. ‘ Wonderful genius! ‘ — said the Quarterly. ‘ Superb physiologist !‘ —— said the New Monthly. ‘ Fine writer! ’ —-—- said the Edinburgh. ‘ Great man ! ' -—-said Blackwood. ‘ IV/za can he be ? ' ——- said Mrs. Bas—Bleu. ‘ [If/mt can he be?‘ — said the big Miss Bas-Bleu. ‘ W/zere can he be?‘ -—said little Miss Bas-Bleu.

But I paid them no manner of attention, and walked into the shop of an artist. _ The Duchess of Bless-my-soul was sitting for her portrait. The Marehioncss of So-and-so was holding the Duchess‘ poodle. The Earl of This-and-that was ﬂirt,- ing with her salts, and His Royal Highness of Touch-me- not was standing behind her chair. I merely walked towards the artist, and held up my proboscis. ‘ 0 beautiful i ‘ -—sighed the Duchess of Bless-my- soul. ‘ 0 pretty ! ’ —-lispcd the Marchioness of So—and-so. ‘ Horrible !‘ ——-groaned the Earl of This-and-that. ‘Abominable!’— growled his Highness of Touch mc-not. ’ ‘ What will you take for it P ’ —— said the artist. ‘A thousand pounds ' ——said I, sitting down. ‘ A thousand pounds ? ’ —- he inquired, turning the nose to the light. ‘ Precisely ’ said I. ‘ Beautiful ' —-—said he, looking at the nose. ‘ A thousand pounds‘ —said I, twisting it to one side. ‘ Admirable ! ‘ —said he. ‘ A thousand pounds ’ — said I. ‘ You shall have them ‘ —said he — ‘ what a piece of Virtﬁl ’ So he paid me the money, and made a sketch of my nose. I took rooms in Jermyn street, sent his Majesty the ninety-ninth edition of the Nosology with a portrait of the author, and his Royal Highness of Touch-me-not invited me to dinner. We were all Lions and Rec/Jert/Iér. There was a Grand Turk from Stamboul. He said that the angels were horses, cocks, and bulls, that somebody in the sixth heaven had seventy thousand heads and seventy thousand tongues—and the earth was held up by a sky-blue cow with four hundred horns. There was Sir Positive Paradox. He said that all fools were philosophers, and all philosophers were fools. 326 NOTES.

There was a writer on Ethics. He talked of Fire, Unity, and Atoms—Bi-part, and Pro-existent soul— Aﬂinity and Discord—Primitive Intelligence and Ho- moomeria. There was Theologos Theology. He talked of Euse- bius and Arianus—l-leresy and the Council of Nice—— Consubstantialism, Homousios and Homouioisios. There was Fricassée from the Rocher de Caneale. He mentioned Latour, Markbrunnen and Mareschiuo -—Muriton of red tongue and Cauliflowers with Velouté sauce—veal a la St. Menehonlt, Marinade a In St. Florentin, and orange jellies en mam‘iquer. There was Signor Tintontintino from Florence. He spoke of Cimabue, Arpino, Carpaccio and Agostino —— the gloom of Caravaggio, the amenity of Alhano—the golden glories of Titian ——the frows of Rubens, and the waggcries of Jan Steen. There was the great geologist Feltzpar. He talked of Hornblendc, Mica-slate, Quartz, Schist, Schorl, and Pudding-stone. There was the President of the Firm-Fudge University. He said that the moon was called Bendis in Thrace, Buhastis in Egypt, Dian in Rome, and Artemis in Greece. There was Delphinus Polyglot. He told us what had become of the eighty-three lost tragedies of Aesehylus— of the fifty-four orations of Isaeus ——of the three hundred and ninety-one speeches of Lysias—of the hundred and eighty treatises of Theophrastus —— of the eighth book of thc Conic Sections of Apollonius—of Pindar's Hymns and Dithyrambics, and the ﬁve and forty tragedies of Homer Junior. There was a modern Platonist. He quoted Porphyry, Iamblichus, Plotinus, Proclus, Hicroeles, Maximus, Ty- rius, and Syrianus. There was a lmman-perfcctibility man. He quoted Turgot, Price, Priestly, Condorcet, De Steel, and the ‘ Ambitious Student in rather ill health.‘ {37.77“

There was myself. I talked of Pictorius, Del Rio, Alexander Ross, Minutius Felix, Bartholinus, Sir Thos. Browne, and the Science of Noses. ‘ Marvellous clever man! ‘ — said his Highness. ‘ Superb!’ —-said the guests: and the next morning her Grace of Bless-my-soul paid me a visit. ‘ Will you go to Almacks, pretty creature ?' she said. ‘Certainly ‘ —- said I. ‘ Nose and all P ‘ ——she asked. ‘ Positively ' —-I replied. ‘ Here then is a card ‘ -——she said. ‘ Shall I say you will be there P ‘ ‘ Dear duchess! with all my heart.’ ‘ Pshaw! no —— but with all your nose? ‘ ‘Every bit of it, my life,’—said I. So I gave it a pull or two and found myself at Almacks. The rooms were crowded to suffocation. ‘ He is coming l ‘ -— said somebody on the staircase. ‘ He is coming!‘ ——said somebody farther up. ‘ He is coming ! ‘ — said somebody farther still. ‘ He is come ! ' —-said the Duchess -— ‘he is come, the little love!‘ And she caught me by both hands, and looked me in the nose. ‘ Ah joli’ — said Mademoiselle Pas Seul. ‘ Dios guarda ! ’ — said Don Stiletto. ‘ Diavolo ! ’ —-said Count Capricornuto. ‘ Tousand Teufel ! ' — said Baron Bludenufl‘. ‘ Tweedle-dec-tweedle-dee-tweedle-dum I’ — said the orchestra. ‘ ‘ Ah joli! Dios guarda ! —Diavolo ! — and Tousand Teufel !‘ repeated Mademoiselle Pas Seul, Don Stiletto, Count Capricornuto, and Baron Bludenulf. It was too bad ——it was not to be borne. I grew angry. ‘ Sir !’ —said I to the baron — ‘ you are a baboon ! ‘ ‘ Sirl’ -——replied he, after a pause, —- ‘Donner and Blitzen!‘ This was sufficient. The next morning I shot off his nose at six o'clock, and then called upon my friends. ‘Béte !’ —said the first.

At all this I felt mortified, and called upon my father. ‘ Father ‘ —- I said —— ‘ what is the chief end of my existence P ‘ ‘ My son ‘ — he replied —‘ it is still the study of Nos- ology. But in hitting the Baron‘s nose you have ovcrshot your mark. You have a fine nose it is true, but then Bludenufl' has none. You are d—d, and he has become the Lion of the day.

Especially to be noted are the insertion of several passages (one with note), several omissions, and the addition of the long note at the end of the tale. Griswold must have had a considerably revised form, as his variations from 1840 are numerous. Several passages are omitted, the opening paragraph of the note at the end of the tale rewritten, and numerous emendations made in phraseology and in punctuation throughout the piece.

Below are noted the variations of 184.0 from the text (in the note pages 103—108, which does not occur in the Sent/tern Liter-my Memenger). Instead of paragraphs I. and II. in the text, substitute for 134.0 the following : —— In a note to the title of the story, called “ Hans Pfaal," I made allusion to the “ Moon hoax“ of Mr. Locke. As a great many more persons were actually gullcd by this jeu d‘esprit than would be willing to acknowledge the fact, it may here aflbrd some little amusement to show why no one should have been deceived—to point out those particulars of the story which should have been 344 NOTES. sufficient to establish its real character. Indeed, however rich the imagination displayed in this ingenious fiction, it wanted much of the force which might have been given it by a more scrupulous attention to general analogy and physical truth.

THE ASSIGNATION (THE VISIONARY).

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, JULY, 1335 ; 184.0; BROADWAY JOURNAL, I. 2.3.

The text follows the Broadway journal. The Griswold variations are conﬁned to spelling, accent, and punctuation. 184.0 was moderately revised from Sour/[em Literary (Messenger. The Broadway journal shows more extensive revision. In the latter form of the‘tale the earlier title, “The Visionary,” is changed to “ The Assignation.” ,

LOSS OF BREATH.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MEsSENoER, SEPTEMBER, 1835; 184.0; BROADWAY JOURNAL IL, 26.

The text follows the Broadway journal, with Poe’s MS. Notes (Mrs. Whitman's copy). 184.0 shows but few variations from the earlier form. In the Broadway your/ml the tale appears in a much shortened and revised form. Especially to be noted is the omission of the long passage recounting the death on the gallows and subsequent burial. In the [Messenger the tale is entitled: LOSS OF BREATH. A TALE A LA BLACRWOOD. BY EDGAR A. POE.

rective to the unfortunate twist afforded me by the gentlemen in the coach. Although my body certainly was, I had, alas! no breath to be suspended; and but for the shaking [chafingy 184.0] of the rope, the pressure of the knot under my car, and the rapid determination of blood to the brain, should, I dare say, have experienced very little inconvenience. The latter feeling, however, grew momentarily more painful. I heard my heart beating with violence—the veins in myhands and wrists swelled nearly to bursting— my temples throbbed tempestuously—and I felt that my eyes were starting from their sockets. Yet when I say that in spite of all this my sensations were not absolutely intolerable, I will not be believed. There were noises in my ears, first like the tolling of huge bells —thcn like the beating of a thousand drums—— then, lastly, like the low, sullen murmurs of the sea. But these noises were very far from disagreeable. Although, too, the powers of my mind were confused and distorted, yet I was —-—strange to say ! -—— well aware of such confusion and distortion. I could, with unerring promptitude determine at will in what particulars my sensations were correct — and in what particulars I wandered from the path. I could even feel with accuracy bow far ——to twbat :11er point, such wanderings had misguided me, but still without the power of correcting my deviations. I took besides, at the same time, a wild delight in analyzing my conceptions. (Note at bottom of page.) [The general reader will I dare say recognize, in these nitration: of Mr. Lack-o'-Bre:1th, much of the absurd melap/Jyricianirm of the redouhted Schelling.] Memory, which, of all other faculties, should have first taken its departure, seemed on the contrary to have been endowed with quadrupled power. Each incident of my past life flitted before me like a shadow. There was not a brick in the building where I was born—not a dog- leaf in the primer I had thumbcd over when a child——

A dreamy delight now took hold upon my spirit, and .- I imagined that I had been eating opium, or feasting upon the Hashish of the old Assassins. But glimpses of pure, unadulterated reason—during which I was still buoyed up by the hope of ﬁnally escaping that death which hovered, like a vulture above rue—were still caught occasionally by my soul. By some unusual pressure of the rope against my face, a portion of the cap was chafed away, and I found to my astonishment that my powers of reason were not altogether destroyed. A sea of waving heads rolled around me. In the intensity of my delight I eyed them with feelings of the deepest commiseration, and blessed, as I looked upon the haggard assembly, the superior benignity of my proper stars. ‘ I now reasoned, rapidly I believe—profoundly I am sure—upon principles of common law— propriety of that law especially, for which I hung— absurdities in political economy which till then I had never been able to acknowledge—dogmas in the old Aristotelians now generally denied, but not the less intrinsically true _de- testable school formulae in Bourdon, in Garnier, in Lacroix — synonymes in Crabbe — lunar-lunatic theories in St. Picrre—falsities in the Pelham novels———-bcauties in Vivian Grey — more than beauties in Vivian Grey — profundity in Vivian Grey—genius in Vivian Grey— every thing in Vivian Grey.

A rapid change was now taking place in my sensations. The last shadows of connection flitted away from my meditations. A storm—a tempest of ideas, vast, novel, and soul-stirring, bore my spirit like a feather afar of. Confusion crowded upon confusion like a wave upon a wave. In a very short time Schelling himself would have been satisﬁed with my entire loss of self- identity. The crowd became a mass of mere abstraction. About this time I became aware of a heavy fall and shock— but, although the concussion jarred through my frame, I had not the slightest idea of its having been sustained in my own proper person, and thought of it as an incident peculiar to some other existence—an idiosyncrasy belonging to some other Em. It was at this moment—as I afterwards discovered — that having been suspended for the full term of execution, it was thought proper-to remove my body from the gallows -— this the more especially as the real culprit had been retaken and recognized. Much sympathy was now exercised in my behalf — and as no one in the city appeared to identify my body, it was ordered that I should be interred in the public sepulchre in the following morning. I lay, in the meantime, without signs of life— although from the moment, I suppose, when the rope was loosened from my neck, a dim consciousness of my situation oppressed me like the nightmare. I was laid out in a chamber sufﬁciently small, and very much encumbered with furniture— yet to me it appeared of a size to contain the universe. I have never before or since, in body or in mind, suffered half so much agony as from that single idea. Strange ! that the simple conception of abstract magnitude —-of infinity —-- should have been accompanied with'pain. Yet so it was. “With how vast a difference,“ said I, “in life as in TALES. 361

death—in time and in eternity—here and hereafter, shall our mcrest sensations be imbodied ! " The day died away, and I was aware that it was growing dark—yet the same terrible conceit still over- whelmed me. Nor was it confined to the boundaries of the apartment — it extended, although in a more definite manner", to all objects, and, perhaps, I will not be understood in saying that it extended also to all rentimeutr. My fingers as they lay cold, clammy, stiff, and pressing helplessly one against another, were, in my imagination, swelled toa size according with the proportions of the An- tacus. Every portion of my frame bctook of their enor- mity. The pieces of money —- I well remember—— which, being placed upon my eyelids, failed to keep them effectually closed, seemed huge, interminable chariot-wheels of the Olympia, or of the Sun. Yet it is very singular that I experienced no sense of weight—of gravity. On the contrary I was put to much inconvenience by the buoyancy—that tantalizing difitul/y offer/ting down, which is felt by the swimmer in deep water. Amid the tumult of my terrors I laughed with a hearty internal laugh to think wlfat ineon~ gruity there would be—could I arise and walk—between the elasticity of my motion, and the mountain of my form.

...... u . The night came— and with it a new crowd of horrors. The consciousness of my approaching interment, began i to assume new distinctness, and consistency _yct never for one moment did I imagine [/1511 I from actually dead. “ This then " —I mentally speculated— “this dark~ ness which is palpable, and oppresscs with a sense of suf- E focation —this — this ——-is-—— indeed deaf/i. This is death —this is death the terrible—death the holy. This is the death undergone by Regulus—and equally by Seneca. Thus —— thus, too, shall I always remain —— always —- always remain. Reason is folly, and Philosophy a lie...... “(ms-a 362 NOTES.

N 0 one will know my sensations, my horror —— my despair. Yet will men still persist in reasoning, and phil. osophizing, and making themselves fools. There is, I find, no hereafter but this. This— this—this—is ,o-..n.__w.-_~_—_.__..n~sw» the only Eternity !—and what, 0 Baalzebub !-— ‘w/mt an Eternity ! —- to lie in this vast— this awful void — a “We...“ hideous, vague, and unmeaning anomaly— motionless, yet wishing for motion — powerless, yet longing for power—forever, forever, and forever !” But the morning broke at length, and with its misty and gloomy dawn arrived in triple horror the paraphernalia of the grave. Then —-and not till then— was I fully sensible of the fearful fate hanging over me. The phantasms of the night had faded with its shadows, and the actual terrors of the yawning tomb left me no heart for the bugbear speculations ol‘ Transcendentalism. I have before mentioned that my eyes were but imperfectly closed —— yet I could not move them in any degree, those objects alone which crossed the direct line of vision were within the sphere of my comprehension. But across that line of vision spectral and stealthy figures were continually flitting, like the ghosts of Banquo. They were making hurried preparations for my interment. First came the coffin which they placed quietly by my side. Then the undertaker with attendants and a screw-driver. Then a stout man whomI could distinctly see and who took hold of my feet— while one whom I could only feel lifted me by the head and shoulders. Together they placed me in the coffin, and drawing the shroud up over my face proceeded to fasten down the lid. One of the screws, missing its proper direction, was screwed by the carelessness ofthe undertaker deep —— deep —- down into my shoulder. A convulsive shudder ran throughout my frame. With what horror, with what sickening of heart didI reflect that one minute sooner a similar manifestation of life would, in all probability, have prevented my inhumation. But alas ! it was now too late, and hope died away within my bosom asI felt myself TALES. 363

lifted upon the shoulders of men — carried down the stair- way— and thrust within the hearse. During the brief passage to the cemetery my sensations, which for sometime had been lethargic and dull, assumed, all at once, a degree of intense and unnatural vivacity for which Ican in no manner account. I could distinctly hear the rustling of the plumes — the whispers of the attendants —the solemn breathings of the horses of death. Confused as I was in that narrow and strict embrace, I could feel the quicker or slower movement of the proces- sion—the restlessness of the driver—the windings of the road as it led us to the right or to the left. I could distinguish the peculiar odor of the coﬂin ——the sharp acid smell of the steel screws. I could see the texture of the shroud as it lay close against my face 5 and was even conscious of the rapid variations in light and shade which the ﬂapping to and fro of the sable hangings occasioned within the body of the vehicle. In a short time however, we arrived at the place of sculpture [sepulture], and I felt myself deposited within the tomb. The entrance was secured—they departed —and I was left alone. A line of Marston's “ Mal- content,” .-I-IA; “ Death's a good fellow and keeps open house," struck me at that moment as a palpable lie. Sullenly I lay at length, the quick among the dead — Aime/lamb inter Sgt/Jar. From what I overheard early in the morning, Iwas led to believe that the occasions when the vault was made use of were of very rare occurrence. It was probable that many months might elapse before the doors of the tomb would be again unbarred —and even should I sur- vive until that period, what means could I have more than at present, of making known my situation or of escaping from the coffin? I resigned myself, therefore, with much tranquility to my fate, and fell, after many hours, into a deep and deathlike sleep.

364. NOTES.

How long I remained thus is to me a mystery. When

_...‘...,._.-__.__._.._..... I awoke my limbs were no longer cramped with the cramp of death -—-I was no longer without the power of motion. A very slight exertion was sufficient to force the lid of my prison — for the dampness of the atmosphere had already occasioned decay in the wood-work around the screws. My steps asI groped around the sides of my habita- tion were, however, feeble and uncertain, and I felt all the gnawings of hunger with the pains of intolerable thirst. Yet, as time passed away, it is strange that I experienced little uneasiness from these scourges of the earth, in comparison with the more terrible visitations of the fiend Emmi. Stranger still were the resources by which I endeavored to banish him from my presence. The sepulchre was large and subdivided into many compartments, and I busied myself in examining the peculiarities of their construction. I determined the length and breadth of my abode. I counted and re- counted the stones of the masonry. But there were other methods by which I endeavored to lighten the tedium of my hours. Feeling my way among the numerous coffins ranged in order around, I lifted them down one by one, and breaking open their lids, busied myself in speculations about the mortality within.

SOUTHERN Lr'reanrw MESSENGER, JANUARY, 1836; 184.0 5 Garswow.

The text follows Griswold, who must have had the latest revision. 184.0 was slightly revised from Sam/112m Litermy Ililertenger. The emendations from 184.0, as found in Griswold, are numerous. Especially to be noted is the omission of one passage of some length. In the Messenger the Tale has attached to the title, “In Imi- tation of the German."

Thus died the Lady Mary. The young Baron Frederick stood without a living relative by the coflin of his dead mother. He placed his head upon her placid forehead. No shudder came over his delicate frame —- no sigh from his fiinty bosom. Heartless, self—willed, and i111pet11o11s from his childhood, he had reached the age of which I speak through a career of unfeeling, wanton, and reckless dissipation; and a barrier had long since arisen in the channel of all holy thoughts and gentle recollections. 1. 20 Tile (— of these the) l. 21 Palace (Chateau) l. 22 ,' (—) l. 24. , (—-—) l. 25 , (—) l. 25 , (——) l. 28 bebaqjiour (behavior) 1. e8 dayr, (o. c.) page 1881. 3 ; (:) l. 4. added (instantaneously added) 1. 8 , rat (sat,) l. 1 1 . _._. .. ..,, _. , , ..

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, FEBRUARY, 1836; 184.0; BROADWAY JOURNAL, II. 14..

The text follows the Broadtuby yaurnal. Griswold shows one unimportant variation from Broadway formal. 184.0 was slightly revised from the earlier form. The tale was again revised in a more extensive way, as found in the Broad-way journal state. Several corrections in the spelling and accent of French words occurring in the tale have been made by the Editor.

THE AMERICAN MUSEUM, SEPTEMBER, 1838; 184.0; BROADWAY JOURNAL, II. 12.

The text follows the Broadway journal. Poe‘s copy with his MS. corrections was used. Griswold shows one or two verbal variations from the text and some variations in spelling and in punctuation. 1840 was somewhat revised from the fllnerimn [Museum state. Several omissions were made, the phraseology and punctuation altered in a number of instances, and several changes made in spelling (mostly correction of typographical errors). The next state ( [trawl-1w} yozu'nal) shows a much more extensive revision. Language and punctuation were carefully emended throughout the tale.

VERBAL VARIATIONS OF THE STODDARD, INGRAM, AND STEDMAN 35 WOODBERRY EDITIONS FROM GRISVVOLD. The readings in parentheses are those of the Griswold text. The variations in punctuation are far too numerous to catalogue. It may be stated in general that Stoddard follows the Griswold text closely in this matter, Ingram varies chieﬂy through omission, and Stedman &Woodberry have made extensive revision throughout.

396 NOTES.

In the matter of spelling Stoddard and Ingram conform For the most part to the Griswold text, except that the latter always uses the termination our instead of or, as in endeavor, and the Former always prefers wan] to 2121111115115 in backwards, upwards, etc., and furl/Ber to ﬂirt/Jar. Stedman 8: VVoodberry have made numerous changes for the purpose of harmonizing and modernizing the spelling.

NOTES. NARRATIVE OF A. GORDON PYM. SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER, JANUARY, FEBRUARY, 1837; 1838.

The text follows the edition of I838. Griswold varies slightlyin punctuation from 1838, but shows no verbal difference. NOTE. -——-Two instalments of this tale appeared in the Sour/tern Literary Il/Icsxcngcr for 1837; the ﬁrst, in the January number, including Chapter I (pp. 5—16.) and a part of Chapter II (page 17 to “The middle of June,” line 11, page 20) ; the second, in the February number, including the remainder of Chapter 11 (line H, page 20, to page 35), Chapter III (pp. 36—46), and a part of Chapter IV (from page 47 to “A scene,” etc., line 32, page so). No further instalments appeared in the magazine. The tale as we now have it was published in book form in x838 (London). It includes the chapters previously published in the Soul/1m: Literary J‘tlesscugcr, with moderate revision (see below). The full title on titlepage of the edition of 18 38 reads as follows:— THE NARRATIVE 0F ARTHUR GORDON PYM 0F NANTUCKET COMPRISING THE DETAILS OF A MUTINY AND ATROCIOUS BUTCHERY ON BOARD THE AMERICAN BRIG GRAMPUS, ON HER WAY To THE SOUTH SEAS—WITH AN ACCOUNT OE THE RECAP’I‘URE OF THE VESSEL BY THE SURVIV- ORS; THEIR SHIPWRECK, AND SUBSEQUENT HORRIBLE SUEEERINcs FROM FAMINE; THEIR DELIVERANCE DY (329)

BURTON’S GENTLEMAN‘S Mncnzms, SEPTEMBER, 1839; 184.0; 184.5.

The text Follows 1845, with several corrections by the Editor. Griswold shows no variations from 184.5. The tale appears very slightly revised in 134.0, and in a much more extensive manner in 184.5.

BURTON‘S GENTLEMAN‘S MAO/1211115, Ocronea, 1839; T111: GIFT, 1840; BROADWAY JOURNAL, 11., 8.

The text follows the Broadway journal. Griswold shows one verbal variation, and some others in spelling, punctuation, and accent. This piece was sent to 7712 Gift before its appearance in Burton’s, judging by the words, “From The Gift 1840 “ preﬁxed to it in the magazine. The two states are not precisely alike, although the variations are few. The tale as it appeared in the collection of 1840 has some few variations from both the states just mentioned. _ It is not until the Broadway j‘aunuzl state that we ﬁnd careful and extensive revision.

Note lay Prof. 1V. LeConte Steve)”, War/Jington and Lee Uni-v. Eiros undertakes to explain to Charmion how the world, or at least that part of it in which Charmion had been living, was destroyed by the collision of a comet. The author writes intelligently about comets in the first part of the discussion, so longr as he confines himself to outlining what astronomers had already learned about comets, their slight density, the improbability of collision, and of shock due to collision. As soon as he abandons the historical he plunges into not only the improbable but the impossible. The last two pages teem with errors. He says the comet on close approach took “ the char— acter of a gigantic mantle of rare flame, extending from horizon to horizon." While we do not know with certainty the source of brightness of comets, it is quite well agreed that they are not masses of flame, that there is no combustion in the sense OF chemical combination pro— ducing heat and light. The light is most probably due to reflection from gaseous or vaporous particles, just as an afternoon cloud looks white by reflecting the sunlight. He says “ A wild luxuriance of foliage, utterly unknown before, burst out upon every vegetable thing." Such a change has no conceivable relation to the approach of a comet. If it be called a “ predicted circumstance " the prediction was never made by any reputable astronomer, or by any scientific man who limits his conclusions in proportion to the quantity and quality of the evidence attainable. All that the author says about “constriction of the

4—. TALES. 277

breast and lungs," “insufl‘erable dryness of the skin,“ etc., is imagination alone. He says the air is a “ compound of oxygen and nitrogen gases." It is not so 5 it is a mechanical mixture of them. He says oxygen is the “vehicle of heat." It does not convey heat any more than any other gas, such as nitrogen. The heat is merely the physical manifestation of the transformation of chemical energy. Oxygen is usually one of the elements present when such transformation produces heat, but not necessarily always so. He assumes that by collision with the comet either oxygen is given in great excess to our atmosphere or nitrogen is withdrawn from our atmosphere, and that couflagration is the result. Comets have been studied by the aid of the spectroscopc, an instrmuent first devised in 181.} but not generally used until after 1859, and hence after the date of this essay by Poe. The result has been to show that the comets examined were devoid of oxygen, or if this were present it was in exceedingly small quantity. If it be assumed that the comet would withdraw nitrogen from our atmosphere and thus leave in it an excess of oxygen, the assumption can not be based on anything known about comets or about our atmosphere. The recital of Eiros is thus a clever bit of imagination without the slightest basis in science, but rather in 0pp0< sition to scientific probability.

MYSTIFICATION (VON JUNG).

184.0 ; BROADWAY JOURNAL, II. 25.

The text follows the Bram/surly foamy]. The variations of Griswold from the Broadway yourna/ are few, and conﬁned to spelling and punctuation. This talc was ﬁrst published in the 134.0 collection under the title “ Von Jung." On its republication it appeared under a new title, shortened, and revised in phraseology and punctuation, though the incidents remain unchanged. The most important variation to be noted is the absence, in the later state, of the description of the personal appearance of Hermann,

I may dwell upon these topics hereafter, and then not in petto. I am well aware that in tracing minutely and deliberately to their almost magical results the operations of an intellect like that of Ritzner, wherein an hereditary and cultivated taste for the bizarre was allied with an intuitive acumen in regard to the every-day im— pulses of the heart—an untrodden field would be found to lie open before me, rich in novelty and vigor, of emo- tion and incident, and abounding in rich food for both Speculation and analysis. But this, I have already said, could not be accomplished in little space. Moreover, the Baron is still living in Belgium, and it is not without the limits of the possible that his eye may rest upon what I am new writing. I shall be careful, therefore, not to dis- close, at least thus and here, the mental machinery which he has a pleasure, however whimsical, in keeping concealed. An anecdote at random, however, may convey some idea of the spirit of his practice. The met/10d varied ad infinitum ; and in this well—sustained variety lay chiefly the secret of that unsuspectedness with which his multifarious operations were conducted.

He was one of the tallest men I have ever seen, being fully six feet

TALES. 231 and a half. His proportions were singularlymal—apropar. His legs were brief, bowed, and very slender ; while above them arose a trunk worthy ofthe Farnesian Hercules. His shoulders, nevertheless, were round, his neck long although thick, and a general stoop forward gave him a slouching air. His head was of colossal dimensions, and overshadowed by a dense mass of straight raven hair, two huge locks of which, stillly plastered with pomatum, ex— tended with a Iachrymosc air down the temples, and partially over the cheek bones ——-a fashion which of late days has wormed itself (the wonder is that it has not arrived here before) into the good graces of the denizens of the United States. But the face itself was the chief oddity. The upper region was finely proportioned, and gave in- dication of the loftiest species of intellect. The forehead was massive and broad, the organs of ideality over the temples, as well as those of causality, comparison, and eventuality, which betray themselves above the a: fl-onlir, being so astonishingly developed as to attract the instant notice of every person who saw him. The eyes were full, brilliant, beaming with what might be mistaken for intelligence, and well relieved by the short, straight, picturesque-looking eyebrow, which is perhaps one of the surest indications of general ability. The aquiline nose, too, was superb; certainly nothing more magnificent was ever beheld, nothing more delicate nor more exquisitely modelled. All these things were well enough, as I have said; it was the inferior portions of the visage which abounded in deformity, and which gave the lie instanter to the tittlc-tattle of the superior. The upper lip (a huge lip in length) had the appearance of being swollen as by the sting of a bee, and was rendered still more atrocious by a little spot of very black mustachio immediately be- ncath the nose. The under lip, apparently disgusted with the gross obesity of its fellow, seemed bent upon resem- bling it as little as might be, and getting as far removed from it as possible. It was accordingly very curt and thin, hanging back as if utterly ashamed of being seen ; 282 NOTES. while the chin, retreating still an inch or two farther, might have been taken for — anything in the universe but a chin. In this abrupt transition, or rather descent, in regard to character, from the upper to the lower regions of the face, an analogy was preserved between the face itselfand the body at large, whose peculiar construction I have spoken of before. The result of the entire conformation was, that opinions directly conflicting were daily entertained in respect to the personal appearance of Hermann. Erect, he was absolutely hideous, and seemed to be, what in fact he really was, a fool. At table, with his hands covering the lower part of his visage, (an attitude of deep medita- tion which he much aflbcted) truly Inever witnessed a more impressive tableau than his general appearance presented.

THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE. GMHAM's MAGAZINE, APRIL, 184.1; 184.3; 184.5. The text follows 184.5, with manuscript corrections from the Lorimer-Graham copy. Griswold varies from 184.5 very slightly. The 134.3 edition is very rare, and has not been collated. 1845 shows most careful and minute revision from the earlier state. Verbal emendations are numerous. The opening para< graph of Burton's was omitted in the revised form.

Variation: of Graham‘: from the text. Motto does not occur in Graham. The ﬁrst paragraph is as follows : It is not improbable that a few farther steps in phreno- logical science will lead to a belief in the existence, if not to the actual discovery and location of an organ ofanalyrir.

If this power (which may be described, although not de- ﬁned, as the capacity for resolving thought into its ele~ ments) be not, in fact, an essential portion of what late philosophers term ideality, then there are indeed many good reasons for supposing it a primitive faculty. That it may be a constituent of ideality is here suggested in op- position to the vulgar dictum (founded, however, upon the assumptions of grave authority,) that the calculating and discriminating powers (causality and comparison) are at variance with the imaginative—that the three, in short, can hardly coexist. But, although thus opposed to received opinion, the idea will not appear ill-founded when we observe that the processes of invention or creation are strictly akin with the processes of resolution ——- the former being nearly, if not absolutely, the latter con- versed.

HISTORY OF THE MS. OF “ THE MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE.“ THE original manuscript of Edgar A. Poe‘s story, “The Murders in the Rue Morgue," has a history which may be of interest to admirers of the distinguished author. I have no data whereby I can fix the exact date at which the manuscript came into my possession, but it was about forty years ago—probably in the spring of 1841, at which time Iwas an apprentice in the office of Barrett and Thrasher (afterwards Barrett and Jones), printers, No. 33 Carter‘s Alley, Philadelphia. If my memory is not at fault, Graham‘s Magazine, in whose pages the story first appeared, was printed in the aforesaid oflice, and the revised proof read in the Saturday Evening Post Office, Chestnut Street above Third — within a door or two of the old Public Ledger building. After the story had been put in type and the proof read, the manuscript found its way into the waste-basket. I picked it from the basket, asked and obtained leave to keep it, and took it to the residence of my father, with whom Ithen boarded. Here it was put away so carefully that I have no recollection of seeing it for years. In 184.6, my father, leaving me in Philadelphia, removed to Fawn township, York county, and thence a few years later to Manchester, Md., and Darkesvillc, Va. In these several pilgrimages he had, unknown to himself, carried the Poe manuscript along with him —~— folded up in one of the books of his library. Determined to return to Pennsylvania, he made sale of his personal effects, and, among a lot of old books offered, was found the Poe Ms. It was at once recognized, rescued from the rubbish among which it had so nearly been lost, and forwarded to me— I having in the meantime (184.7) removed to Lan» caster, Pa., and commenced business as a daguerrco~ typist. Twice my daguerrean rooms took fire, and once

296 NOTES.

(March 8th, 1850) almost all my books, papers, pictures, and apparatus were consumed -—'— but the Poe manuscript, folded within the leaves of an old music-book, escaped the wreck. About the year 1357 (I think it was), a grocery store, occupying the first floor of the building in which were my rooms, took fire and burned furiously. The flames did not reach my rooms, but the smoke did, and the firemen drenched them with water, destroying books, papers, and other property, but by good fortune the Poe manuscript again escaped all injury except a slight discoloration. From 1861 to 1864. I was in the army, but on my return therefrom I found the Poe manuscript in the old music-book where I had left it on leaving home. In the spring of 1865 I took charge of the Swan Hotel, Lancaster. Removing therefrom in 1869, a good deal of rubbish was consigned to the ash-pile, the old music- book sharing the fate of other worthless articles. My next-door neighbor, John R. Watkins. thinking it had been inadvertently thrown away, picked it from the ash—pile and handed it to me. On opening the book I again beheld the much-neglected and long-mislaid manuscript! Resolved that it should not again be subjected to so many unnecessary risks, I had it bound in its present form. (Signed) J. M. JOHNSTON. LANCASTER, PA., July 26, x881.

Below are given the variations of the MS. of the “Murders in the Rue Morgue," now in the Drexel Institute, Philadelphia. The variations are similar in very many instances to those of the Graham Magazine form, but, on the other hand, there are so numerous points of diﬂ‘erencc as to re- quire the collection of the MS. variations in a separate chapter. A new abbreviation [21.1.] will be found in these notes, indicating that the word or words immediately TALES. 297

preceding it are inserted in the MS. above the words struck out.

THE ISLAND OF THE FAY.

GRAHAM’S MAGAZINE 1 UNE a 18 4' 1- 1 BROADWAY JOURNAL, II. 13.

The text follows the Broadway journal. Griswold differs slightly from the text in spelling and in punctuation. The note p. 196 is taken from Griswold, not occurring in the Broadway journal. The text shows verbal revision, as well as some changes in punc- tuatiun, from the earlier state. Several notes are Found not occurring in Graham. Instead of the later motto occurs the sonnet “ To Science," as given below. This will be found to vary from the other states of the poem. (See Vol. VII., Notes, p. 156.)

Variation: of Gra/zam from ibe text. The following sonnet is prefixed to this piece in Gra- ham :— Sciencc, true daughter of old Time thou art, Who altercst all things with thy peering eyes ! Why prey’st thou thus upon the poet‘s heart, Vulture, whose wings are dull realities? How should he love thee, or how deem thee wise Who wouldst not leave him, in his wandering, To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies, Albeit he soared with an nntlannted wing? Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car? And driven the Hamadryad from the wood? Hast thou not spoilt a story in each star? Hast thou not tom the Naiad from her flood ? The elfin from the grass? — the daintyfaj, The witch, the sprite, the goblin— where are they? Anon. Motto and note to l. 2 do not occur in Graham. 308 NOTES.

THE OVAL PORTRAIT (LIFE IN DEATH).

GRAHAM’s MAGAZINE, APRIL, 184.2; BROADWAY JOURNAL, II. 2.

The text follows the Broadway yournnl. Griswold shows several variations in punctuation and spelling. The tale appeared in the Broad-way yournal with a new title, shortened, and harmonized in language.

Variationr of Grnlmm‘J' ﬁom text. Title in Gra. “ Life in Death.” Motto. 13in e vivo e parlerebbe se non osservasse la regola del silenzio. [Inscription beneath an Italian picture of St. Bruno.] [Corrected] The tale begins in Cm. as follows :— My fever had been excessive and of long duration. All the remedies attainable in this wild Appennine region had been exhausted to no purpose. My valet and sole attendant in the lonely chateau, was too nervous and too grossly unskilful to venture upon letting blood—of which indeed I had already lost too much in the affray with the banditti. Neither could I safely permit him to leave me in search of assistance. At length I bethought me of a little pacquet of opium which lay with my tobacco in the hookah-case; for at Constantinople I had acquired the habit of smoking the weed with the drug. Pedro handed me the case. I sought and found the narcotic. But when about to cut off a portion I felt. the necessity of hesitation. In smoking it was a matter 0'

l 1 E . l

TALES. 3 1 7 little importance Izarw mar/1 was employed. Usually, I had half filled the bowl of the hookah with opium and tobacco cut and mingled intimately, half and half. Sometimes when I had used the whole of this mixture I experienced no very peculiar effects; at other times I would not have smoked the pipe more than two-thirds out, when symptoms of mental derangement, which were even alarming, warned me to desist. But the effect proceeded with an easy gradation which deprived the in~ dulgence of all danger. Here, however, the base was different. I had never manila-wed opium before. Lauda~ num and morphine I had occasionally used, and about them should have had no reason to hesitate. But the solid drug I had never seen employed. Pedro knew no more respecting the proper quantity to be taken, than myself —— and this, in the sad emergency, I was left alto— gether to conjecture. Still I felt no especial uneasiness ; for I resolved to proceed /1_y degrees. I would take :1 wer} small dose in the first instance. Should this prove impotent, I would repeat it; and so on, until I should find an abatement of the fever, or obtain that sleep which was so pressingly requisite, and with which my reeling senses had not been blessed for now more than a week. No doubt it was this very reeling of my senses ——it was the dull delirium which already oppressed me— that prevented me from perceiving the incoherence of my reason— which blinded me to the folly of defining any thing as either large or small where I had no preconceived standard of comparison. I had not, at the moment, the faintest idea that what I conceived to be an exceedingly small dose of solid opium might, in fact, be an exces~ sively large one. On the contrary I well remember that I judged confidently of the quantity to be taken by reference to the entire quantity of the lump in possession. The portion which, in conclusion, I swallowed, and swallowed without fear, was no doubt a very small proportion of the piece rw/iir/t I held in 111} band.

THE MYSTERY or MARIE ROGET.

SNOWDEN‘s LADY‘s COMPANION, NOVEMBER, DECEMs BER, 1842, AND FEBRUARY, 184.3; 184.5.

The text follows r845, with manuscript corrections from the Lorimer—Graham copy. Griswold does not differ From the 184.5. Of the Griswold variations noted below, those in square brackets are corrections made by the editor, the others the Lorimer-Graham readings. The collation of 1845 with Snowden's Lady‘s Companion shows a careful revision of the tale. Some inaccuracies were corrected, the language was harmonized, and objectionable passages eliminated.

THE POXVER OF WORDS.

Nor: by Prof. IV. Le Come Srorvenr, PVatltington and Lee University. THE gist of this colloquy is contained in the last paragraph of it, where Agathos says, “ This wild star— it is three centuries since . . . I spoke it -— with a few passionate sentences—into birth. Its brilliant flowers are the dearest of all unfulfilled dreams, and its raging volcanoes are the passions of the most turbulent and unhallowcd of hearts." To compare a flower with an unfulfilled dream, or a volcano with the passions of the heart is entirely legitimate as a poetic .rimile. But the author wishes to convey some idea about the “ physical power“ of words, and reminds 286 NOTES.

us that “as no thought can perish, so no act is without infinite result." It would be as easy to deny the proposi- tion that “ no thought can perish“ as to make the assertion. Neither denial nor assertion is capable of proof. To say that “no act is without infinite result " is equally gratuitous. The author's attempt at physical reasoning on the page which follows is made apparently with no regard to the conservation of energy, and with no knowledge of the limitations of interpretation to be observed in mathematical analysis. He says “ We moved our hands, . . . and in so doing we gave vibration to the atmosphere which cngirdlcd it. This vibration was indefinitely extended, till it gave impulse to every particle of the earth's air, which thcnceibrward, and for ever, was actuated by the one movement of the hand. This fact the mathematicians of our globe well know.“ Let us assume that the motion of the hand is accomplished with such energy as to produce a wave, of “vibration,” and that the energy is measurable; that the power exerted is equal, for example, to that of lifting a pound through the height of a foot in one second. This energy is quickly propagated in all directions with decreasing intensity according to a well-known physical law. At a short distance, such as a few miles, or hun- dreds of miles, the intensity vanishes completely. By this we mean that there is no agency known to human beings by which its existence at any greater distance can be apprehended. Any conclusions about it are based on ignorance rather than knowledge. The intensity becomes an infinitesimal of the second or third or nth order; an infinitely small fraction of what is already infinitely small. Let us grant that an omnipotent being, an omniscient intelligence, can take up any Such effect at an infinite distance and trace it back unerringly to its source in the midst of an infinitely large number of other disturbances of infinitely great variety of intensity. Then still we are confronted with the fact that the import of a word has no recognizable relation to the physical process of the propa- TALES. 287 gation of sound through air. The air moreover extends but a few miles above the earth's surface, and there is no physical evidence that sound is propagated through an imponderable ether, as the author assumes, or seems to assume, nor that the “source of all motion is thought." The author‘s idea is hence capable of but a single interpretation. It is the deduction of positive conclusions from negative premises, and hence utterly worthless so far as its relation to science is concerned. But Poe evidently had no more idea that his writings would be subjected to scientific analysis than did “ Mun- chauseu." Between the two there is no comparison, so far as refinement and genius are concerned. But they are about equally independent in neglecting the laws of scientific evidence.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE OF M. VALDEMAR.

AMERICAN WHIG Revrcw, DECEMBER, 184553110110— WAY JOURNAL, II. 24. The text follows the Broadway journal (with Poe‘ 5 MS. notes in his copy of the Broadway journal). The Ameritan Whig Rc'vic'zu shows one verbal variation and a few differences in punctuation from the later form. Griswold diﬂ‘ers from the text in the spelling of several words and in :1 few cases of punctuation. TALES. 291

This role was reprinted in England twice during Poe‘s lifetime, ﬁrst, in the “ Popular Record of Modern Science," London, under the title “ The Case of M. Valdemar," and second, in booklet ‘ form, with the title ” Mesmerism ‘In Articulo Mortis,‘ ” Lon- don, 1846. The latter has been collated with the text, and the numerous variations are noted below.

An article of ours, thus entitled [The Facts in the case of M. Valdemar], was published in the last number of Mr. Colton’s American Review, and has given rise to some discussion — especially in regard to the truth or falsity of the statements made. It does not become as, of course, to offer one word on the point at issue. We have been requested to reprint the article, and do so with pleasure. We leave it to speak for itself. We may observe, however, that there are a certain class of people who pride them‘ selves upon Doubt, as a profession. —ED. B. J. 292 NOTES.

ADVERTISEMENT. The following astonishing narrative ﬁrst appeared in the Ameri- can 111agazine, a work of some standing in the United States, where the case has excited the most intense interest. The effects of the mesmeric inﬂuence, in this case, were so astounding, so contrary to all past experience, that no one could have possibly anticipated the final result. The narrative though only a plain recital of facts, is of so extraordinary a nature as almost to surpass belief. It is only necessary to add, that credence is given to it in America, where the occurrence took place.

It is a translation, by my friend Martin Van Burcn Mavis,(somctimes called the “ Poughkeepsie Seer,") of an odd-looking MS. which I found, about a year ago, tightly corked up in a jug ﬂoating in the Zl/Idre Tenebmrum—a sea well described by the Nubian geographer, but seldom visited, now-a-days, except by the transcendentalists and divers for crotchets. .t Very Truly, EDGAR A.
