Description
Pages 485-488 from "Bibliographical Notes," Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (1962). The article of interest, as indicated by the brackets and arrow, is "Poe's 'Purloined Letter'" by Howard Haycraft (486-487). Haycraft responds to a previously published article in which G. Thomas Tanselle wonders whether the tale first appeared in an abridged version in Chambers' Edinburgh Journal of November 1844 or in The Gift of 1845. Because The Gift was actually published in September 1844, Haycraft informs us that there is no question as to which appeared first. See the issue of Chambers' Edinburgh Journal with typed notes by Haycraft, also in this research file.
