About This Item
New York: Garrett & Co, 1848. 8vo. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches. 194pp. Half morocco in brown cloth, raised bands into six compartments with gilt center design, gilt title.
Extremely scarce first edition of a classic New York dime novel by a master of the genre. Not seen on the market since 1977.
This sequel to The Mysteries of New York, by Ned Buntline (aka Edward C.Z. Judson) fueled the craze for "city mystery" fiction pioneered by Eugène Sue and George Lippard. B'Hoys of New York takes readers through a wild adventure that includes "pirates" on the Hudson River, among other colorful characters. A very scarce copy from the antebellum popular press. The American Antiquarian Society has the later edition from 1859, while another copy from 1848, at the Huntington Library, was issued by a different publisher. The only other copy from the rarer Garrett & Co. edition was last sold over 45 years ago.
Wright, L.H. American fiction, 1774-1850 (2nd ed.), 1514.
