Reading copy:

reading copy (copy-text is based on Text 02)
Manuscripts and
Authorized
Printings:
- “Prospectus” — 1836, no
original manuscript or fragments are known to exist (but this version
is presumably recorded in Text 02) — Text 01
- Prospectus for an unspecified literary magazine
(about 1835)
(In Our
Press
Gang, L. A. Wilmer comments that Poe "proposed to join me [Wilmer]
in
the
publication of a monthly magazine of a superior intellectual character,
and he had written a prospectus, which he transmitted to me for
examination"
(Mabbott, Merlin (1941), p. 26). Before Wilmer could act on the
plan, Poe apparently accepted a position at the SLM.)
- Prospectus of the Penn Magazine (June 12,
1840 — Spirit
of
the
Times)
- Prospectus of the Penn Magazine (June 13,

- Prospectus of
the
Stylus
(February
or March 1843 — broadside)
- Prospectus of the Stylus (February 25 1843
— Saturday
Museum)
(No copy of this issue is known. The text is presumably identical to
that
reprinted in the March 4, 1843 issue.)
- Prospectus of the Stylus (March 11, 1843 — Saturday
Museum)
(An apparently unique copy in a private collection. The text is
identical
to that reprinted in the March 4, 1843 issue. Based on the curious
presentation
in Gill's biography of Poe, there has been some speculation that this
copy
was illustrated with the picture of the hand holding a stylus and
writing
the Greek word for "Truth." First-hand examination of this issue,
however,
confirms that the prospectus has no illustration. It would appear that
Gill merely reproduced the picture from the proposed cover Poe sent to
E. H. N. Patterson.)
