This hand-written poem entitled "The Man of Sorrows" is signed with the author's initials in fine script
Autograph poem signed: "G.M." in black ink. 3 pages, 5x8. Poem entitled "The Man of Sorrows" written in 12 parts. Grenville Mellen (1799-1841) was an American lawyer and poet. He studied at Harvard College and was class poet for his 1818 graduation class. He attended Harvard Law School for two years and then clerked in his father's law office. Mellen did not become known as a writer until he was about twenty-five years old. He was then one of the contributors to the Cambridge United States Literary Gazette. In the early part of 1827, he published a satire entitled Our Chronicle of Twenty-six, and two years afterward, "Glad Tales and Sad Tales", a collection of prose sketches, which had previously been printed in the periodicals. The Martyr's Triumph, Buried Valley, and other Poems, appeared in 1834. He served for a short period as editor of the Portland Advertiser. In 1830, he delivered the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poem, "The Age of Print." He co-edited the Monthly Miscellany and continued his writing in New York and Maine. Toned. Corners rounded. Creases from mailing folds. Left margin is affixed to binding torn from a book. Pinhead-sized stains throughout. Otherwise, fine condition.
