Title A name given to the resource "Burton's September 1839, vol. 5, p. 169" recto & verso Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edgar Allan Poe Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Maureen Cobb Mabbott Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Manuscript Description An account of the resource Transcription of an excerpt from [Edgar Allan Poe,] "[Review of:] John Parish Robertson, Solomon Seesaw," Burton's Gentleman's Magazine 5 (September 1839): 159. In note 16 of his version of the tale Mabbott cites the review as one of several instances where Poe had quoted the same aphorism by French cynic Chamfort before having Dupin utter it in "The Purloined Letter." The quote says: "You can wager that every public idea, every received convention, is a stupidity, for it pertains to the greatest number of people." ["Il y a à parier que toute idée publique, toute convention reçue, est une sottise, car elle a convenu au plus grand nombre."] On the verso of this manuscript are notes relating to Poe's "Mellonta Tauta" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue." The transcription and notes are in Maureen Mabbott's handwriting.
