SPRAGUE, CHARLES ODE
1875 FE Paperback SPRAGUE, Charles. ODE: Pronounced before the Inhabitants of Boston, September the Seventeenth, 1830, at the CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION of the Settlement of the City. Boston: John H. Eastburn, City Printer, 1830. First edition, 4to, a 24-page pamphlet in printed wrappers. (On the verso of the title: "Ordered, That the Committee of Arrangements for the celebration of this day be, and they are hereby, directed to present the thanks of the City Council to Charles Sprague, Esquire, for the elegant, interesting and instructive Poem, this day pronounced by him, and respectfully request a copy thereof for the press.") Inscribed by the author on the title page to Edward Rand, a prominent Newburyport merchant (Sprague's brother-in-law?). Sprague (1791-1875) was a Boston businessman and a poet whose work, largely occasional, was taken seriously enough for the London Atheneum to refer to him as "the American Pope." In fact, his style is much closer to Gray and Collins: their influence is clear in the present poem. Both text and wrappers have some light foxing. The wrappers are sunned and somewhat soiled, with wear to the edges and tears at top and bottom of the spine. This is a very good copy of a fragile item. Scarce. 2

1947 MS BURGESS, Gelett. A FINE WORK MARRED. [N.P.: N.P., c. 1947]. Manuscript, 7 typewritten sheets, plus an earlier version of page 1, with holograph corrections in ink. This is an unpublished review of "Shakespeare's Use of the Arts of Language" by Sister Miriam Joseph, part of the review being used by Burgess to advance the Shakespeare-Oxford theory. The 7pp. manuscript has relatively trivial corrections, while the additional page 1 would appear to be the first or second draft, with many changes in wording. Also, on the verso of this page, Burgess has typed a letter to an "Abe," quoting in full a letter of Sigmund Freud to a Mr. Looney. Burgess' letter warns that he has not yet received permission to print Freud's letter. Together with the manuscript is a carbon copy of the same review. The pages bear the mark of a paper clip in the upper left corner and are slightly chipped at the lower right edge. The early draft of page 1 is somewhat more worn, with a few small nicks at the top and bottom edge. 2
