The Prose Romances of Edgar A. Poe: No. I. Containing The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Man That Was Used Up
Edgar Allan Poe · William H. Graham (Philadelphia) · 1843
Both tales had prior magazine publication: 'The Man That Was Used Up' first appeared in Burton's Gentleman's Magazine, August 1839, and 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' first appeared in Graham's Magazine, April 1841. This 1843 Graham pamphlet is therefore the tales' first appearance in separate book/pamphlet format, not the true first publication of either text.
