The Poe cult. or craze, seems. ac-
cording to. the Philadelphia Ledger,
to have reached an ultimate climax
in Mr Morgan's purchase of a copy
OF the pamphlet edition of two OF
Poe's tales for the absurd price OF
$3S00. 1t Is not to the point to re-
call that this is probably more than
Poe received at any time for all OF
his tales, larger sum than was ever
within his reach. Though first edi-
tions of Poe are just now fad
among collectors. the present price
Is really not dependent upon the IT,
tie or contents of the pamphlet; 1t
Is dependent wholly on its rarity. IL
it had been a more subst0ntial book
more copies would have been pre-
served and could be easily picked W
IN the shops. The preservation OF
this shlaDv pamphlet Of 1912 pub
lished at "ievy," or its timely dis
covery. was an accident. II anybody
should find another it would not bring
such a price. Being supposedly
unique, It is worth whatever anybody
will give for 1t, and Mr.. Morgan does
not count the cost when he covets o
raiity, whether 1t be any American
first edition or an Italian primitive"
