And this was the tribute paid by the American public to the master who had given to it such tales of conjuring charm, of witchery and mystery as The Fall of the House of Usher and Ligeia; such fascinating hoaxes as The Unparalleled Adventure of Hans Pfaall, MSS. Found in a Bottle, A Descent Into a Maelstrom and The Balloon Hoax; such tales of conscience as William Wilson, The Black Cat and The Tell-tale Heart, wherein the retributions of remorse are portrayed with an awful fidelity; such tales of natural beauty as The Island of the Fay and The Domain of Arnheim; such marvellous studies in ratiocination as the Gold-bug, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Purloined Letter and The Mystery of Marie Roget, the latter, a recital of fact, demonstrating the author's wonderful capability of correctly analyzing the mysteries of the human mind; such tales of illusion and banter as The Premature Burial and The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether; such bits of extravaganza as The Devil in the Belfry and The Angel of the Odd; such tales of adventure as The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym; such papers of keen criticism and review as won for Poe the enthusiastic admiration of Charles Dickens, although they made him many enemies among the over-puffed minor American writers so mercilessly exposed by him; such poems of beauty and melody as The Bells, The Haunted Palace, Tamerlane, The City in the Sea and The Raven. What delight for the jaded senses of the reader is this enchanted domain of wonder-pieces! What an atmosphere of beauty, music, color! What resources of imagination, construction, analysis and absolute art! One might almost sympathize with Sarah Helen Whitman, who, confessing to a half faith in the old superstition of the significance of anagrams, found, in the transposed letters of Edgar Poe's name, the words a God-peer. His mind, she says, was indeed a Haunted Palace, echoing to the footfalls of angels and demons.
