1845 - July 12
(vol. II, no. 1) (The editors are listed

|
|
- Tale - "How to
Write a Blackwood Article"
and "A Predicament"
(reprint)
(text ?) (pp. 1-7) (Signed as by "EDGAR A. POE.")
- Poem - "The Departed" (rejected) ("Where the
river ever
floweth .
. .") (p. 7, col. 1) (This poem, signed only by a single letter,
in broken type, possibly as "L.," was attributed to Poe by Thomas
Holley
Chivers: "The following poem is taken from the Broadway Journal, and is
not found in any of his works. One day while I was in the office, Mr
Poe
said to me, 'Have you seen the last Number of the Broadway Journal? It
is a good one — every article in it having been written by myself,
except
one Poem.' From his looks as well as manner at the time, I was
particularly
impressed with the belief that the Poem was his own" (Chiver's
manuscript Life
of Poe, 1850-1857, printed by R. B. Davis, 1952, p. 74). Chivers
made
the claim publically in an article on the "Origin of Poe's Raven" in
the Waverly
Magazine for July 30, 1853, p. 73, cols. 2-3, arguing that Poe
plagiarized
"The Raven" from Chivers' poem "To Allegra Florence in Heaven." The
article
is signed by the pseudonym "Fiat Justitia," now known to be Chivers
himself
(See Damon, Chivers, Friend of Poe, p. 199). Here, Chivers
says,
"On looking over the 'Broadway Journal' for the same year [[1845]], I
find
another poem which must have been written by Poe." Chivers then
gives
the name of the poem and quotes a verse. Ironically, Killis Campbell
felt
that the poem was actually by Chivers (The Mind of Poe, 1933, p.
201, item 7), and Mabbott thought that Poe himself probably suspected
that
it was written by Chivers. In The American Book Collector
(October
1932), pp. 233, J. Hunt, Jr. was suggested as the author. According to
R. B. Davis (Chiver's Life of Poe, 1952), Hunt apparently copied
out the poem for Chivers sometime during the period 1850-1853. In
Chiver's
manuscript Life of Poe, the text of the poem is marked "Copied
Verbatim
et Literatim by J. Hunt Jr., From the Broadway Journal.")

with the comment: "I feel sure that this is not Poe's. Whose it may be
I cannot
guess. It would not be strange for Poe, with his many duties, to accept
or even ask for a review to fill space." That it is a longish review
which
Poe did not mark in the Whitman copy, between two items he did mark,
also
strongly suggests that he is not the author. Not mentioned by Pollin.)

printing) (pp.
93-95)
(The first item in this section is signed "P" in pencil in the copy of
the BJ that Poe gave to S. H. Whitman.) (This whole section is
attributed
to Poe by Killis Campbell, 1909, p. 624, item 18, with the note, "this
contains, among other things, Poe's denial of the charge that he was
utterly
blind to the merits of Longfellow's productions." Pollin attributes all
of the items in this section to Poe. Hull mentions only the discussion
of Longfellow as Poe's, with no reference to the other items.)
- (A brief notice: "A RARE OPPORTUNITY. [[/]] ANY
gentleman of
enterprise
and respectable education, who has at command a cash capital of 700 or
1000 dollars, may hear of an excellent opportunity for its invesment,
by
addressing a note to E. S. T. G., office of the 'Broadway Journal'."
The
initials "E. S. T. G." are for "Edward S. T. Grey," a pseudonym used by
Poe on several occasions. The opportunity, no doubt, was to save the
financially
strapped Broadway Journal. Apparently, no one came
forward.)

nevertheless,
to protest against the doctrine advanced. The opinions of our fair
correspondent

opinion
on which Poe is presumably commenting is that women are, as the article

attributed to Poe by Killis Campbell, 1909, p. 624, item 22, with the
comments,
"In one item, the author alludes to 'Mesmeric Revelations,' as his own;
in another, he displays his characteristic fondness for exposing
literary
theft by charing Whittier with a plagiarism from Bulwer.")

- Poem - "The Forest Reverie"
(rejected) (p.
177) (This
poem is signed "A. M. Ide," a name John H. Ingram thought, erroneously,
was a Poe pseudonym. For more information, see "The Village Street,"
September
13, 1845, above.)
- Tale -
"Ligeia" (reprint) (pp.
170-176)
(Signed

(There are a number of corrections in pencil, by Poe, in the copy
of the BJ that he gave to S. H. Whitman. These corrections
include
verbal and punctation changes, and some deletions. Poe added the note:
"N. B. — The poem which I sent you contained all the events of a
dream which occurred to me soon after I knew you. [[/]] Ligeia was
also suggested by a dream. Observe the eyes in both the tale
&
poem." The poem to which Poe referes is "To Helen" ("I saw thee once —
once only — years ago . . ."). As T. O. Mabbott notes, Poe was,
perhaps,
intentionally overstating the case to appeal to Mrs. Whitman, who
"loved
mystical things" (Mabbott, Poems, 1969, p. 444 and Mabbott, T&S,
p. 306).)

(This humorous

is two lines: "I thought Kit North a bore — in 1824 — [[/]] I find
the
thought alive — in 1845." Although it has been erroneously attributed
to Poe, Thomas Ollive Mabbott notes, in the 1969 edition of Poe's Poems,
that Thomas Dunn English mentions in his unpublished autobiography that
he himself wrote them (p. 509, item 75).
