CONTENTS include: "A Farewell Editorial" and several travel articles from the magazine's departing founding editor John Inman, who manned the editorial helm of "The Columbian" from 1844 -1848. New editor STEPHEN M. CHESTER, a former contributor, debuts in these pages and commits to publishing fewer fashion spreads in favor of additional highbrow steel engravings and mezzotints, with representative artists here including Britain's THOMAS ALLOM, W.H. BARTLETT and BENJAMIN WEST. ***OF SPECIAL INTEREST, the poetry includes EDGAR ALLAN POE's "To ----- ----- -----," (p. 138) commonly said to refer to his super-fan, MRS. FRANCES S. OSGOOD (1811-1850) of Boston. Poe's work is under his own name here. The devoted Mrs.Osgood has at least one poetic contribution as well, with "Stanzas for Music." (p. 116). Both works appear as part of the March 1848 issue. While Mrs. Osgood's relationship with Poe has been variously described as a platonic literary fascination (and one at least initially supported by her husband,) and mainly in the form of adulating poetry, there were injudicious letters written as well, apparently. Another contributor, the poet and author Mrs. E.F. ELLET (1818-1877) instigated gossip about Osgood's letters to Poe which landed the latter in hot water with his wife, Osgood's husband and her brother. Other literary figures of the day including Boston's Margaret Fuller appealed directly to Poe to return the supposed letters. All this took place in 1845 and it is perhaps a testament to the damage done to the reputations of all those involved that this New York magazine is regurgitating the matter three years later! See Mrs. Ellets two short stories: "Marry in Your Own Sphere (p.57), "Eugene Le Mars" (p. 145), and the poem "The Prism, the Flower and the Sunbeam, (p. 152). "The Columbian Magazine" ceased publication the following year, 1849. Please also see our bound annuals for these issues of 1845, 1846 and 1847. (AMJ). Book.

A previous version had appeared in 1842 under the title "The Landscape Garden" in "The Ladies Companion." Unusual for Poe, the story is not a gothic, doom-laden tale, but rather a prose poem which is a vision of an artist's Shangri-La built amongst a towering, mountainous, riverine landscape. Biographer Una Pope-Hennessy suggests the singular monolithic author's aerie described in the story was based on Poe's familiarity with the English gothic author William Beckford's (cf. 1786 novel, "Vathek.") whose doomed estate of Fonthill Abbey in Wiltshire collapsed under its own weight in a fit of its builder's drug-fueled architectural vanity. ***L. MARIA CHILD contributes three short stories, including what is arguably the best of the tales in this issue, "The Rival Mechanicians," about a rivalry between two apprentices for the heart of a Swiss watchmaker's daughter in a plot which involves the building of increasingly complex watches, barometers, automatons and a human-like "android," (certainly an early use of that word.) The author may have been influenced by her New York acquaintances of the Knickerbocker school (W. Irving, Paulding, et al) in this unusually spooky tale. Her biographer J. G. Whittier selects letters from her correspondence of the period showing a rather reclusive, solitary exile to the New York area at this time, in flight from real danger and condemnation felt from some Bostonians and southerners for her outspoken contributions to the abolitionist press. [Child published frequently on these topics through the New York offices of the American Anti-Slavery Society, located at 143 Nassau Street in 1842; the "Columbian Magazine" was published but a door away at 140 Nassau Street, until 1846. (See BAL 3141)].**Other notable additions to this annual include short stories, songs and poetry by mid-nineteenth century women authors , Francis S. Osgood, Miss Catharine M. Sedgwick, Mrs. E. F. Ellett, Miss Fanny Forrester and others. Some contributions from the men include ALFRED BILLINGS STREET's (1811-1881) "A Day or Two's Fishing in Pike's Pond." The work of this Poughkeepsie, New York native has been described as prose poetry, and his work has been compared favorably to that of the Transcendentalists, Emerson, Bryant and Longfellow. JAMES KIRKE PAULDING (1778-1860), once Secretary of the United States Navy, and a leading contributor to the Knickerbocker New York literary scene of the 1820's and 30's, contributes a terrific gothic tale, "The All-Seeing Eye" in the Jan. 1847 issue, p. 5-12. A traveller, observing from a riverbank, happens to witness a murder during a violent storm. He meets the perpetrator by chance some twenty years later, who is keen to confess his sin. The psychic toll taken upon the rich, worldly-successful murderer is very much reminiscent of Poe's 1843 tale, "The Tell-Tale Heart". ** REFS : On Poe: Poe Soc.: Text 04-c, for "Arnheim." U. Pope-Hennessy, "Edgar Allen Poe, a Critical Biography," (New York: Haskell House Ltd, 1971), pp. 170-171. BAL 16149 mentions the 1842 version of The Landscape Garden, published in the Ladies Companion, version; but not this re-titled story, "Arnheim." On Paulding: BAL 15743 lists "The All-Seeing Eye" as "otherwise un-located" from a version found in the 1852 "Ladies Illustrated Keepsake" ; this 1847 publication may therefore be its first appearance.

Whittier and an Appendix by Wendell Phillips, (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, Riverside Press, 1882), BAL 3220. (2.5 lbs.)
