Beschreibung

Woodcuts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 190 pages; 1863 Galen James & Co. / Joseph H. Allen, Boston. Vol XII, Nos 7-12 of the digest sized magazine edited by "Oilver Optic" pseudonym of William T. Adams. These six issues include the complete serialized second novel in the Paul Clifford series, "Onward & Upward, Or, Paul Clifford in Search of a Situation." All of the Clifford series were published in the magazine and never issued in contemporary book form. Six single issue magazines in original woodcut pictorial wraps. Each is bound with 3 hole string tie with pictorial covers laid over. The magazine switched publishers from Galen James & Co to Joseph H Allen beginning with the August issue. All 6 issues soundly bound and complete with spine edges lightly rubbed and furred. Some soiling and toning to covers generally light. Illustrated with woodcuts. The magazine format is uniform in each issue, with about 12-13 pages of the Clifford story followed by short pieces from other authors, some of Civil War related subjects. There is a 2 page public speaking and Declamations section, a short several page dramatic piece, a pedagogical entry - "From the Teacher's Desk" and a musical piece with score followed by 1 or several pages of ads. Notable for the complete "Optic" short novel which was published only in the magazine. The namesake of the story is an orphaned boy who must learn his lessons in school and life to achieve his goals and earn his livelihood. (Note we also have the 1st of the Clifford books in the preceding six issues). A bit worn but complete and decent. We have done no restoration or repairs. Quite scarce. G++.
