From 1926, a rare limited and numbered edition, A Chapter on Autography by Edgar Allan Poe, edited by Don G. Seitz, published at the Sign of the Cupid and Lion, by Lincoln Mac Veagh at the Dial Press, New York. Sized 9x6 inches, bound in black cloth at the spine, green paper covered hardcover boards. 92 pages. This is copy number 203 of only 750 printed. Poe comments on the signatures of contemporaries like Ralph Waldo Emerson and W. Gilmore Simms. He calls Emerson a type of person he doesn't like, "mystics for mysticism's sake." He refers to Emerson's writing as "twaddle." Of Simms, Poe comments that he likes him better as a poet than as a novelist. Very good condition.
