This is the first published book by Edgar Allan Poe, he does not take credit for it by name, and instead uses the author 'By line', "A Bostonian". It was published in 1827 at Poe's expense just after he entered the United States Army. Poe introduced the collection with an apologetic notice admitting the low quality of his poems. He said they were not intended to ever be published and "why they are now published concerns no one" but the author. It is thought that only 12 copies survive of this original edition, published by Calvin F. S. Thomas. Although many reproductions have since been published.
