Description
New York and Washington: The Neale Publishing Company, 1912. Signed limited edition. Near Fine. Inscribed by Bierce to his daughter: "My daughter, Mrs. Helen Bierce Cowden - Ambrose Bierce." Also, with an excellent five-page ALS from Bierce to his daughter in the original mailing envelope mounted to the preliminary blank. One of 250 copies of the autograph edition, this being copy thirty-three. A Near Fine set. Twelve volumes, octavo (155 x 222 mm), together occupying about 52 cm (20 in) of shelf space. Full contemporary light brown morocco stamped in gilt and dark brown with gilt "AB" device on each board. Red watered silk endpapers and doublures with gilt turn-ins. Some trivial edgewear to boards. A very attractive set. The intimate and humorous ALS from Bierce to his daughter, dated October 1907, addresses Bierce's travel plans ("I'm expecting to visit my friend Howes in Galveston in November, but I shall try not to see Galveston") and Helen's reading habits (Bierce recommends against the New York American), reflects on his own periodical writing, wishes Helen and her husband Harry well, and concludes with an update on his new "pet" squirrel: "I have a new squirrel that is the most comical little rascal ever seen. He lays on me, and inside my waistcoat, for hours at a time. Tame a squirrel." A full transcript of the letter is available upon request. This set collects the scope of Bierce's writing throughout his illustrious career, including the famed Devil's Dictionary; his Tales of Soldiers and Civilians (here titled In the Midst of Life), the war stories that inspired Hemingway; and his numerous essays. Publication of the set concluded in 1912, the year before Bierce's mysterious disappearance in Mexico, making the Collected Works was the last of Bierce's publications issued before his presumed death. Near Fine.
