EXPLANATION.
The entries in this Index are primarily under authors, but title
and subject entries are introduced whenever they seem likely to be
of use. Noteworthy imprints are referred to under the name of the
place.
SMALL CAPITALS are used for subject headings under which a
considerable number of titles are entered.
Some of the miscellaneous pamphlets of little importance, cata
logued in Parts IV and V, have not been individually entered in the
Index, but it is believed that every entry has been made which is
likely to be of practical utility.

CONDITIONS OF SALE.
1. The highest bidder to be the buyer, and if any dispute arise
between two or more bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be imme
diately put up again and re-sold.
2. The purchasers to give their names and addresses, and to pay
down twenty-five per cent, on the dollar in part payment, or the whole
of the purchase-money, if req^l^red, in default of which the Lot or Lots
so purchased to be immediately put up again and re-sold.
3. The Lots to be taken away at the buyer's expense and risk within
three days from the conclusion of the sale, and the remainder of the
purchase-money to be absolutely paid, or otherwise settled for to the
satisfaction of the vendors, on or before delivery : in default of which
Messrs. GEO. A. LEAVITT & Co. will not hold themselves responsible,
if the Lots be lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, but they will be left
at the sole risk of the purchaser.
4. In preparing the Catalogue, care has been taken to make the
description of every book full and accurate, and every deficiency and
imperfection which was discovered has been noted : but the sale of any
Volume or Lot is not to be set aside on account of any error in the
description. The books will be exposed for public exhibition one or
more days, and will be sold just as they are without recourse.
5. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery and inconvenience in the settle
ment of the purchases, no lot can, on any account, be removed during
the sale.
6. Upon failure of complying with the above conditions, the money
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited ; all Lots uncleared within
the time aforesaid shall be re-sold by public or private sale, without
further notice, and the deficiency (if any) attending such re-sale, shall
be made good by the defaulter at this sale, together with all charges
attending the same. This condition is without prejudice to the right
of the Auctioneers to enforce the contract made at this sale, without
such re-sale, if they think fit.
GEO. A. LEAVITT & CO.
PREFACE.
In compliance with positive directions given by the late Mr. George
Brinley, his whole collection of books relating to America will be
offered for sale by auction. The Catalogue of the First Part of this
collection is now submitted to the public. Few of those into whose
hands it is likely to fall need be informed that — within the field it
covers — it comprises a greater number of volumes remarkable for
their rarity, value, and interest to special collectors and to book-lovers
in general, than were ever before brought together in an American
sale-room. The titles of the books and tracts, though rarely given
without abbreviation, will be found sufficiently full to distinguish the
edition or impression, and accuracy of description as regards binding
and general condition has been aimed at, throughout. All imperfec
tions discovered by the compiler of the catalogue have been pointed
out; though a rigorous collation of every volume was, under the
circumstances, impossible.
Some critical readers may object to the frequent recurrence of the
terms "scarce," "rare," "superlatively rare," and so on; and if such
terms have been misapplied the objection is certainly a valid one.
But it is believed that a thorough examination of the catalogue will
show that reference to the rarity of a book or tract has been omitted
when it might fairly have been made, ten times as often as it has been
made without warrant of critical bibliography. Turn, for example,
to the collection of "Books printed in New England, 1640-1709"
(pages 87-126), and to that of the "Works of the Mathers" (pp. 127-
176), and of the six hundred and fifty consecutive titles there are
scarcely twenty that any American bibliographer could hesitate to
mark " rare," or " very rare."
VI PREFACE.
The general plan of the Catalogue is indicated, as regards the
First Part, by the table of Contents, prefixed. The arrangement — it
can hardly be called a classification — is substantially that which was
adopted by Mr. Brinley himself, for his book-shelves. A strictly
alphabetical arrangement, by authors' names or titles, would perhaps
have been more acceptable to bibliographers, but the extent of the
library rendered such an arrangement impracticable, and it seemed
inappropriate to the sale-catalogue of a library which is not less
remarkable for the completeness of its collections in special depart
ments, than by the number of its titles.
The Second Part will comprise books relating to New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, with special collections of works
printed by William Bradford, Reynier Jansen, A. Bradford, S. Keimer,
Christopher Sauer, Benjamin Franklin, and other early printers, and
a collection of works relating to the Quakers ; Maryland, Virginia,
and the Southern colonies and states ; the American Revolution ;
Washingtoniana ; the United States, since the establishment of Inde
pendence ; the West, California, and the Pacific coast ; Mexico,
Central America, the West Indies, and South America ; the American
Indians, and their Languages ; American Biography ; American Poetry ;
and Books printed in America from 1709 to 1776.
The Third Part will include American Bibles; Psalmody, and
Music; books relating to Episcopacy in the U. States, Methodism,
the Baptists, and other denominations; Arts and Sciences; Educa
tion, including early School Books ; Chap Books (a large and curious
collection); Bibliography, Catalogues, etc.; Miscellaneous Works;
Almanacs; Broadsides; Maps, Prints, and Autographs.

the Indians " had amongst them no good nor wholsome food, for even that maiz, whereof
they made their bread, had in the root thereof a most vencmous kinde of liquor, which is
no better than deadly poyson."

From the library of the Duke of Sussex, with book-plate. A volume of extraordinary
interest to more than one class of collectors. " The treatise of Martin Cortes is the most
important work upon navigation that had yet appeared in the world. The science was
revolutionized by it. Very few copies have the map, on which the New World is delin
eated on the same sheet with the western parts of Europe and Africa." — B. Quaritch^s
Gen. Catalogue, 9530 d. Robert Norman, in The New Attractive, announced his discov
ery of the dip of the magnetic needle; and Burroughs's important observations of the
declination of the needle, followed up by Gunter, led to the discovery (by Gillebrand?) of
the cycle or change of the variation in declination.

A volume of remarkable interest to American collectors. It contains RICHARD
EDEN'S copy of Peter Martyr, and the one, manifestly, which he used in translating
" The Decades of the Newe Worlde," printed in 1555. It has his autograph on the title-
page, and its margins and two blank pages are full of his MANUSCRIPT NOTES, explana
tions, and references, among which he has, here and there, roughly sketched little outline
maps of islands, etc., mentioned in the text, e. g. " Insula Canibalr«m vel Caribuw." On
a guard-leaf, he has drawn " Hispaniola," on a somewhat larger scale than the margin
permitted, writing the designations of prominent features of the coast.
This edition of Peter Martyr was
tion (11. 68-75) of an abstract of
Tromel, No. 5 ; Harrisse, pp. 301 ,
edition (same date and press) of Biondo's Epitome of the historical Decades of ^Eneas
Sylvius (Pope Pius II.).
The volume has the book-plates of Thomas Robinson, Fellow of Merton College, and
" Joannis Milner, A. M. e Coll. Sti. Petri, Cantab.," and the autographs of several other
B>ssessors, the latest being that of " Jno. Davis" (of Plymouth). At the sale of Judge
avis's library, 1847, it was purchased by Mr. Geo. F. Guild, from whose library it came
to Mr. Brinley, in 1853.

4° Paris, chez Clavde Collet, 1632
An EXCEPTIONALLY FINE copy of the Best Edition of Champlain. It was obtained, a
few years ago, from a private library in France, in which, apparently, it had rested undis
turbed since it received its 1 7th century binding. The description and collation agree with
Sabin's {Dictionary, No. 11839) and Field's (Ind. Bibliog., No. 268), except in two
particulars. The map has the inscription : " Faicte 1'an 1632 par le sieur de Champlain,"
and, its two sheets having been joined in one, it is inserted in its proper place, after p. 210
of the Second Part, and immediately before the " Table povr cognoistre les lievx
remarqvables enccste Carte." (It is usually found — when found at all — at the end of the
volume, separated from its Table of Reference, by the " Traitte de la Marine" and
specimens of the Indian Languages.) The " blank leaf " after page 210 (the 4th leaf

pp. (8), 64, (6), 58. There are two other titles, prefixed to the second and third parts,
with imprints of Felix Kyngston for Roger Michell. The author dedicates his "few bad
unripe Rimes" to King Charles L, " being the first fruits of this kind that ever visited
this Land out of that Dominion of yours." One of the complimentary poems addressed
to the author is by William Vaughan, whose " Golden Fleece " was printed two years
earlier. Another is by George Wither, the emblematist and satirist, and another (an
Acrostic) by John Vicars. The names of George Sandys and William Vaughan are
found in every notice of early American poetry. That of Hayman. their contemporary,
seems almost unknown even to bibliographers. It is unnecessary to add that his book
is EXTREMELY RARE.

Only a tolerably good copy of this EXTREMELY RARE tract. A (blank) corner is torn

supplied in manuscript ; a few words and letters are gone from the outer margin of
pp. 15-16.
For some account of this remarkable publication, " arraigning [Gov.] Dudley, with
unbounded severity," see Palfrey's Hist, of N. England, iv. 304-310. The Dedication
is signed, A. H. — probably, for Alexander Holmes, one of the subscribers to the Memo
rial against Dudley, to the Queen. The absurdity of attributing the authorship of this
tract to the Rev. John Higginson of Salem — aged 92 — will be apparent to any one who
reads a single page of it. Dr. Palfrey, with more probability, suggests (p. 310) that
" Cotton Mather was concerned in the composition : " but " the smartness and pedantry of
the style " are as characteristic of Rev. John Wise of Chebacco (who had an old grudge
against Dudley) as of Mather.

" The [sermon] of Mr. Morrill, being a New Hampshire production, particularly inter

knew not before seeing this that Mr. M. ever published anything. The good man, if now
living, might with as much propriety assail the enormous sleeves of the present day, as he
did the ' hoop'd coats ' of our great grandmothers." — MS. note. Mr. Merrill's Sermon
was printed at "Boston in New England, for Richard Jenness and Joseph Lock in the
Parish of Rye, 1 728." ( The allusion to " hoop'd-coats " is on p. 27. The preacher " looked
upon it to be very unseemly and unbecoming, for Persons to dress themselves up in their
forlorn Hoofd-Coats, to appear before God in his House.")

" Ned Ward " was a graceless scamp. His " Trip to New-England" fairly matches —
if it does not surpass — the Rev. Sam. Peters's "History of Connecticut." The latter
seems to have taken a hint for one of his " blue-laws " from Ward's story (p. 173) of " a
Captain of a ship, who had been a long voyage, happened to meet his wife, and kissed
her in the street [of Boston], for which he was fined 10 shillings," — the offences of "open
kissing and of fornication being both of a price ; and another inhabitant of the town was
fin'd ten shillings for kissing his own wife in his garden," and was whipped for refusing to
pay the fine. Drake (Hist, of Boston, 515, 516) makes some extracts from this naughty
(and very scarce) book.

was changed. Instead of "the Rev. James Steward D.D.," "A Citizen of Connecticut"
stands as author, and the imprint is: "NORWICH: Published for the Author, (With Priv
ilege of Copy-Right.) — iSio." The two title-pages were printed from the same types—
these changes excepted, and the substitution of a short for a long /, in the third line.
(This second is site oi the first edition seems to have escaped the notice of bibliographers.
It is very scarce.)

VERY RARE, and almost unknown to American bibliographers. The author was
William Aspinwall, of Boston in 1637, a follower of Mrs. Hutchinson; afterwards, for a
short time, Secretary of R. Island, then at New Haven, and again at Boston in 1643.
He returned to England, and joined the Fifth Monarchy men. In 1655, he re-published,
in London, Cotton's "Abstract of Laws and Government" (see No. 562), to which he
refers in the present tract (p. 31), and gives his own digest of "the Laws of Judgment,"
of Christ's Kingdom, " whereof some do appoint Capital punishments ; some, corporal
punishments; some, pecuniary punishments" (pp. 30-32): with "the intention, not to
Judaize, but to show the perfection of the whole Word of God, to direct in matters of
Civil Judgments, as well as in Church affairs."

telling them that all their troubles have arisen from not adopting the System or Body of

height of impudence.

Court of Massachusetts so "utterly disliked and detested," and ordered to "be burned by
the executioner in the market-place in Boston" (Mass. Records, III. 216). The author
dared to maintain the "damnable heresy," that "Christ did not suffer for us those unut
terable torments of God's wrath, that commonly are called Hell-torments." The Second
Edition was printed in 1655 (see Stevens's "Nuggets," no. 2270). The margins of this
copy are good except at the bottom, where a few leaves are close-cropped, one line is cut
into, on the last page of the preface, and a few catch-words have been touched.

This volume, which is now RARE, is dedicated to the Governors and Ministers of New-
England by J. St. N., "An Adventurer in the first Plantation." The author was rector
of Lutterworth, in Leicestershire; a friend of the Rev. Ephraim Unit, who came to N. E.
in 1639, and became Mr. Warham's colleague at Windsor (Conn.), to which place Mr.
St. N. intended to follow him. He decided, however, to remain in England, where, in
1657, he married a daughter of Anthony Grey, the puritan rector of Burbach, afterwards
Earl of Kent. See Palmer's Calamy, ii. 119; Crosby's Hist, of Engl. Baptists, iii. 34;
Nichols's Hist, of Leicestershire, iv. 463, 269.

letter occupies pp. i-ioi. It is followed by a Discourse on John 6. 27, by R. H. (pp.
J3^)> with a dedicatory epistle to his "two daughters Margaret and Elizabeth."
The names of the daughters and their ages ("the elder drawing neer to sixteen years,"
and the younger "now thirteen years,") sufficiently identify R. H., the "dear friend" to
whom Shepard's letter was addressed, with RICHARD HARLAKENUEN, Esq., of Earls-
Colne in Essex, the elder brother of Roger Harlakenden who came with Mr. Shepard to
New England and became a member of his church in Cambridge. Their sister Mabel
married John Haynes, governor of Massachusetts and first governor of Connecticut.
During Mr. Shepard's ministry at Earls Colne the Harlakenden family had been his
warm friends, and had done all in their power to protect him from the persecution which
finally drove him from England. Richard Harlakenden' s first wife was Alice, daughter
of Sir Henry Mildmay, by whom he had the son Richard to whom this volume is dedi
cated. By his second wife, Mary Denny, he had three daughters, Margaret, Mary, and
Elizabeth. Mary died young. The others were about sixteen and thirteen years of age,
respectively, in 1651 — which fixes, nearly, the date of publication.
The volume must be VERY RARE. It seems to have escaped the notice of English
and American bibliographers, of the editors of Shepard's works, and of all his biographers.
It is not named in the catalogues of the Prince, Am. Antiquarian Society's, Harvard Col
lege, or Mass. Hist. Society's libraries, nor in any other which the writer of this note has
consulted.

BOOKS PRINTED IN NEW ENGLAND
(AT CAMBRIDGE AND BOSTON)
1640-1709.
In this section will be found the INCUNABULA of the Anglo-American press. It comprises
Mr. Brinley's unrivalled collection of books printed in Massachusetts, from the establishment
of the first press in 1639, to the establishment of the first press in Connecticut (the third, in
New England) in 1709 — from THE WHOLE BOOKE OF PSALMS, Imprinted 1640, by Stephen
Day, to the Saybrook Platform, the first book printed in Connecticut, — not including the works
of the MATHERS (whicli are separately catalogued) and the works relating to WITCHCRAFT.
There is not a book named in this section (Nos. 693-929) which may not properly be desig
nated RARE. At least three-fourths of the whole number are VERY RARE; not a few are of
EXCESSIVE RARITY, and several are the ONLY KNOWN COPIES, if not UNIQUE.

of Boston booksellers. (See Mr. Brinley's note, on guard-leaf.)
The Sermon " was preached on a solemn Fast-Day occasioned by the afflictive Provi

ALMANACS, PRINTED AT CAMBRIDGE, 1646-1650.
These five Almanacs (Nos. 699-703) — every one of -which is believed to be UNIQUE —
belonged to the Rev. Samuel Hough (Haugh), Minister of Reading, Mass., whose name
appears on the title-page of the Almanac for 1649. They were interleaved by him, and
contain many manuscript entries, some of which are of much historical value, and nearly
all are of interest to New England antiquaries. They passed into the possession of Judge
Sewall (the guardian of Mr. Hough's grand-children), and remained in the Sewall family
until they were purchased, not many years ago, by the late Mr. John K. Wiggin of Boston,
who sold them to Mr. Brinley. An endorsement on the cover of one of them shows that
they were loaned to Mr. John Farmer in 1824, and again in 1833. Mr. Farmer commu
nicated to Mr. Savage some of Mr. Haugh's notes — particularly, the one which records,
against June 15, 1648, theyfrj/ ex.ecution in New England for Witchcraft (see Savage's
Winthrop, ii. 326, note}.
Thomas (Hist, of Printing, i. 234), names Danforth's Almanacks for i647,-8,-9, and
Oakes's "Astronomical Calculations," "1648, about," among books printed by Stephen
Day. It is plain, however, that he had not seen all — if any — of them. The Almanac
for 1646 (which has lost its title-page), was doubtless by STEPHEN DAY — the first printer
at the first Anglo-American press. That of 1647 has the UNIQUE imprint of MATTHEW
DAY, the son of Stephen, — a printer not mentioned by Thomas; and the Almanac for
1648 must also have been his work, though his name does not appear in the imprint.
(These two almanacs have the title within a border made up of figures representing the
phases of the moon.) Matthew Day died in May, 1649. No printer's name appears on
the Almanacs for 1649 and l^S°- On the latter, the name of Samuel Danforth, as author,
is omitted, and in its place stands the Latin line, " Parrmm farva decent" This identifies
the Almanac with the "little parcel of astronomical calculations, with this apposite verse
in the title-page," which, as Cotton Mather states, was published by URIAN OAKES,
while a student at Harvard. (Thomas, misled by Mather's title, enters "Astronomical
Calculations. By a Youth [Urian Oakes]," as of "1648, about," and says it is not ascer
tained when or by whom it was printed.) There is no doubt that the Almanacs for 1649
and 1650 — which are precisely alike, typographically, — were printed by SAMUEL GREEN;
and the former is the FIRST work known to be his, — the Cambridge Platform, printed late
in 1649, being the first work having his name (or initials) in the imprint.
Thus, the five tracts comprise specimens of the work of the FIRST THREE PRINTERS
in English America; the ONLY known work of one, and the FIRST work of another of
the three.

imprint has "B. Green for Benj. Eliot," and in 1706 and 1707, " B. Green for Benj. Eliot
and Nich. Boone."
Mr. Brinley's set — comprising seven of the nine published in Clough's name — is more
nearly complete than any other known. Its interest, as well as its intrinsic value, is much
enhanced by Sewall's manuscript memoranda.

Probably UNIQUE. This Declaration of War against the Narragansets is subscribed
by " Jo: Winthrop President, In the name of all the Commissioners," &c. Hutchinson,
who printed it, in his Collection of Papers (138-146) from a manuscript copy, had "never
met with it in print." It was again printed, from the MSS. Records of the Commissioners,
(with many errors) in Hazard's Collection, ii. 45-48. The following entry, in an "Account
of Expenses layd out for the County," Aug. 1645 *° Oct. 1646 (Mass. Archives, xxx.
doc. 9), shows the number of copies printed: "First, for ye printing of five hundred
Declarations, \l. oo. oo." Of the five hundred, Mr. Brinley's is the ONLY KNOWN
COPY. It is one of the EARLIEST productions of the Cambridge press; the THIRD,
in order of time, of which any copy is extant — preceded only by the Bay Psalm Book and
the list of Theses at the Commencement of the (Harvard) College, in 1643, °f which

Denison. It is EXCESSIVELY RARE. " New England's Sore," in the diagnosis of Major
Denison, was the contention between " Independents or Congregational men, and those
that are called by them Presbyterians." New England had suffered by "the Antinomi-
ans" " the Gortonians, Miiggietonians, and other Elves and Hobgoblins,'1'' — and now,

"Although a few copies printed, yet it is NOT PUBLISHED." — Preface.
" This copy is the one referred to by Dr. Francis, in his Life of J. Elict, in Sparks'
American Biography." — G. B. It formerly belonged to the Rev. Dr. Thaddeus Mason
Harris of Dorchester, Mass., who has left this note, on a guard leaf : "As this little book
was not published, and 'but very few copies printed,' it has become so scarce that this may
be considered the only copy. The like may be said of the tract which contains ' The Dying
Speeches of some Indians.' " (See No. 765.)
The only other known copy of this book was in the library of Mr. Menzies, and was
then believed by Mr. Sabin to be UNIQUE. See the Menzies Catalogue, no. 666. It

8° n. p., n. d., \Cambridge, 168-]
Title, verso blank (2 pp.), Preface by John Eliot, i p., verso blank ; Dying Speeches,
pp. 2-12 ; i p. blank. The Title is printed lengthwise of the first page (from top to bot
tom). In his prefatory note, Eliot says: "These things are Printed not so much for
Publishment, as to save charge for writeing out of Copyes for those that did desiere them."
This is the ONLY KNOWN COPY. It is in perfect condition, clean and bright,
elegantly bound (by P. Bedford) in dark-blue levant morocco, full gilt back, pa/ieled sides,
with center and corner ornaments, and rich inside borders.
The Am. Antiquarian Society's Catalogue gives the title under the year 1663. This is
considerably too early. The tract contains several references to matters that occurred after
the termination of the Indian War, in 1677. It probably was printed^at about the same
time with the second edition of the Indian Bible, between 1680 and 1683, or a little later.

A prefatory note to Mr. Sabin's reprint of this EXTREMELY RARE tract describes
it as "printed in London, during the latter part of 1689 or the beginning of 1690." The
internal evidence that it was printed either at Boston or Cambridge, between February and
May, 1690, seems conclusive. The sack of Schenectady by the French and Indians (Feb.
8, 1690) is alluded to, p. n. The fact that all the depositions printed on pages 12-14 are
made by Salem men, and the suggestion, in the last paragraph, that it "would be convenient
for Salem, the oldest town in the Colony," to take the lead" in establishing a provisional
government under the old Charter, may perhaps furnish a clue to the authorship.

On the verso of a leaf preceding the Title is the ADVERTISEMENT : " The Reader is
desired to take Notice that the Press in Boston is so much under the aw of the Reverend
Author, whom we answer, and his Friends, that we could not obtain of the Printer there
to print the following Sheets, which is the only true Reason why we have sent the Copy
so far for its Impression, and where it was printed with some Difficulty." See Thomas's
History of Printing (ist ed.), ii. 90, 458, and the Menzies Catalogue, no. 817. The
authorship of this pamphlet has been attributed to the Rev. Messrs. John Woodbridge,
Benj. Colman, and Simon Bradstreet (Sibley>s Harvard Graduates. 455). EXCES
SIVELY RARE, and, in such condition, perhaps UNIQUE.
[Though this book was not " printed in New England," yet considering its authorship,
its relation to Mather's " Order of the Gospel" (see No. 1010), and to the anonymous
"Collection of some of the Offensive Matter" &c. (No. 1086), and its connection with the
history of the Boston press, it seems proper to place it here.]

The greater part of the edition of this Sermon seems to have been bound up with copies
of the author's " Narrative of the Troubles with the Indians." Separate copies are
EXTREMELY RARE. It has possessed a high bibliographical interest, having been
regarded, on the authority of Thomas, as THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN BOSTON.
The present Catalogue, however, compels us to assign precedence to two tracts by Increase
Mather (Nos. 1045 and 1040), printed in 1675, and to the (Boston) Almanac for 1676 (see
No. 707).

Mr. B. Quaritch, from whom Mr. Brinley purchased this copy, wrote, in 1869, "I
believe it must be the finest copy in the world." Certainly, in completeness, size, and
condition, it leaves nothing to be desired. It has not only the Dedication, which was
inserted in very few (probably not more than twenty-five) copies, but it has both the English
and the Indian titles. The leaf measures 7 % by 5 % inches. The binding is one of Mr.
F. BEDFORD'S masterpieces ; in best levant grosgrained brown morocco, sides double
paneled, blind and gold, with centre ornaments ; gilt edges ; enclosed in a Solander case
of blue morocco, lettered.

4° Cambridge, Samuel Green, 1685, 1680
A NOBLE COPY, which is probably rendered UNIQUE by a happy blunder of the
original binder. It wants the " Catechism " (a single leaf) at the end ; but it has the
General Title, in duplicate, one at the beginning of the volume, and the other at the
end of the Old Testament. Mr. Henry Stevens, of whom this copy was purchased by
Mr. Brinley in 1871, explains the presence of the second title, in this way: " Sheet Ppppp,
the end of the Old Testament, is bound up as originally printed ; that is, Ppppp i is the
end of the O. T., ending on the reverse ; Ppppp 2 is a blank leaf ; Ppppp 3 is the title to
the Old and New Testament, reverse blank ; and Ppppp 4 is blank on the recto, and has
the List of the Books on the verso. The cut-out of the two middle leaves of this sheet,
then makes the blank leaf and the title at the front of the book. In this copy, these two
leaves are in duplicate, and as clean and fresh as they were in 1685.'' With these excep
tions (and the absence of the Dedication), the collation is the same as for No. 789.
The leaf measures /§• inches tall by very nearly 6 inches wide. In the upper corner of
the (first) title is the autograph of "Jo. Baily. Jan. i. [i6]8f N. E." (the Rev. John
Baily, minister of Watertown, and assistant minister of the First Church, Boston,
1693-97). On the blank leaf preceding the title, is the fine autograph of "Grindall
Rawson | His Indian Bible | Given him By his Father | 1712." The writer, minister of
Mendon, Mass., 1680-1715, was much engaged in the Indian work, and was able to preach
to the Indians in their own language. He translated for them Cotton's Milk for Babes
(No. 783) and the Confession of Faith of 1680 (No. 784). He was a son of Secretary
Edward Rawson, who gave him this Indian Bible.
The binding, executed under Mr. Stevens's direction, is in the best style, in blue gros-
grain levant morocco, sides filleted and paneled, blind and gold, -with centre ornaments,
the back paneled, broad inside borders of elegant design, on a lining of red levant morocco;
enclosed in a dark green morocco. box, lined with white velvet, gilt and lettered.

This seems to be the edition from which that of 1 720 was reprinted. The two agree,
page for page, and line for line nearly, but there is a difference in the type. As this
contains Rawson's translation of Cotton's " Milk for Babes," it was probably printed after
or not long before 1691. It may be of the edition of 1687, mentioned in Isaiah Thomas's
list of books printed by Samuel Green (Hist, of Printing, I. 263.) It is, so far as is
known, UNIQUE.

EXCESSIVELY RARE and, with regard to condition and completeness, perhaps
UNIQUE. In the Preface to the new edition of the Province Laws (1869), the Commis
sioners, Messrs. Ames and Goodell, speak of " the extreme scarcity of the early impressions.
. . The editions of 1699 and 1714 are among the rarest of rare books ; and the copies of
them now extant are usually found without the supplements." The collection in the
Secretary's office of Massachusetts, which "is probably more nearly perfect than it is pos
sible to make another," " does not include original impressions of the sessions-acts printed
from and after the May session of 1711-2 until the May session of 1714, "which are not
known to be extant." — Preface, p. xvii.

pp. 21, str. -grained blue morocco, full gilt, Roger Payne's style, (Bed
ford}. 8° Cambridge, S. G. and M. J., 1670
SUPERLATIVELY RARE, if not UNIQUE. Cotton Mather (Magnolia, bk. m,
pt. iv, c. 6) says — with his habitual inexactness — that Mr. Oxenbridge "published a
Sermon about Seasonable seeking of God." It is evident that Eliot (Biogr. Dictionary),
Allen, Sprague (Congr. Annals, i, 171), Emerson (in Hist, of First Church), and others
have taken the fact and the title from Mather, without having seen the Sermon itself.
The title has not been found in any published catalogue (except the Am. Antiq. Society's
Catalogue of Ante-Revolutionary Publications, to which it was communicated by Mr.
Brinley), and the writer has not seen or heard of any second copy. Mr. Brinley had
entered it as anonymous, not having identified it with Mather's " Sermon about Seasonable
Seeking." — T.

&c., pp. 1-18; Anti Synodalia Scripta Americana, or a Proposal of the Judgment of the
Dissenting Messengers, &c. [by President Charles Chauncy,] pp. 1-38.
This is the English reprint of the "Propositions" with the addition of Chauncy's
Anti-Synodalia, separately paged, but without a special title-page. Thomas (Hist, of
Printing, i. 255) puts this edition of the Anti-Synodalia ("4to. 38 pages," 1662) in the
list of books printed at Cambridge by Samuel Green, and says it "was reprinted in
London." It is nearly certain that no American edition had been printed when, in Feb
ruary, 1664, the Rev. John Allin published his " Animadversions upon the Anti-Synodalia
Americana, a Treatise printed in Old England." In his preface Mr. Allin mentions the
Antisynodalia which "came to our hands" and "another Essay [John Davenport's] of
the same nature [which j was here published." The type of the n. p. volume of 1662
differs from that of the Cambridge edition of the " Propositions" (see No. 844) and is
unlike any that Green is known to have used in Cambridge. The Massachusetts edition

not only the lawfullnes, but also | the necessity of the heavenly

A BEAUTIFUL and ABSOLUTELY PERFECT copy ; having the additional page of
"Faults escaped in printing." The binding — one of Mr. F.BEDFORD'S master-pieces —
is in dark brown crushed levant morocco, the sides studded ivith gold stars, within broad
gilt borders, with corner and center ornaments ; and the volume is enclosed in a Solander
case of blue, straight-grained morocco, lettered.
For a description and collation, see Thomas's Hist, of Printing, i. 231, 2^2, and the
Prince Library Catalogue.
To offer any remarks on the RARITY or the IMPORTANCE of this precious volume
would be sheer impertinence. The acquisition of a copy of the original edition of the
Bay Psalm Book must always be the crowning triumph to which every American collector
aspires, — while the chances of acquisition are constantly diminishing. It is by no means
probable that another copy will be offered for competition within the next quarter of a
century, at least.

" A reprint, without additions, of the first edition (in a smaller size) with some changes
of spelling. . . Mr. Brinley's copy with the date of 1647, wherever printed, may fairly be
regarded as the second edition, and, so far as known, is UNIQUE . . The changes of
spelling would, perhaps, be more likely to occur if the book was printed in England, which
may have been the case, though some experts there think otherwise." (Haven's Catalogue

12° Cambridge, \ Printed for Hezekiah Usher, of Bostoo (sic), n. d.
EXTREMELY RARE. The New England version (Bay Psalm Book), as revised and
improved by Dunster and Lyon, in 1650. Mr. Thomas believed this to be the third
edition of the revision, and the fifth including all from 1640. "The printing," he
observes, "is executed by a good workman, and is the best that I have seen from the
Cambridge press. I conclude, therefore, it could not be printed by Green before the
arrival of Marmaduke Johnson in 1660; I have no doubt it was printed under Johnson's
care; and, probably, soon after the Indian Bible came from the press in 1663." See his
long note, in History of Printing, i. 257-8 ; and compare a note in Mr. Haven's (Am.
Antiq. Society's) Catalogue, under the year 1665, suggesting that "it is doubtful whether
the printing was done in this country or in England . . Mr. Lenox thinks this may be the
fifth edition, and the first that was printed in two columns."

4° [Boston, Samuel Green, 1682]
Probably UNIQUE, and of EXTRAORDINARY INTEREST, imperfect as it is. At the
top of the first page is written, in the hand of Thomas Prince: " By page 6, was written
in 1681. Mr. B. Green sen'r says this was printed at Boston by his bro. Samuel's letter
[i. e. types]." On the page referred to, the author speaks of what he did, "having by
accident, some respite time this year 1681," in September, and on p. 7, mentions the result
"in 6 months" — which brings the date of publication as late as March, 1681-2. It
contains information, not elsewhere to be found, respecting the origin and history of the
project for a Land Bank of Credit, and the introduction of Paper Money. (See No. 726.)
858 SEWALL (SAMUEL) Phenomena quaedam Apocalyptica ad Aspec-

Governor S tough ton, 3 pp. ; Psalm 139, 7-10 (in metre), i p. ; Some Few Line.s,&c., pp. 60.
The FIRST EDITION of Sewall's very curious and — in spite of its title — amusing
book, is EXTREMELY RARE. The learned and pious author labors "to expose the
antick fancy of America's being Hell'1'1 — the " Sedem Inferorum" to which Christ
descended, — or even the Apocalyptic Gog and Magog; but he honestly confesses (p. 40)
that " there is so much Confusion in the discourses upon this subject, that a man cannot
tell -when he Is in Heaven and when he is in Hell" and that " so near an approach to, so
com pleat a resemblance of Hell, was not to be found in reriim natura" as in America.

Sewall has appended to his own work, Willard's Sermon on " the National Conversion
of the Jews," first published in 1700, but already "for some time out of print." In
the accompanying tract, the Rev. Solomon Stoddard closes his examination of "Cases
of Conscience," touching the "wearing of long Hair]"1 "thoughts concerning Periwigs,"
&c., with the suggestion that " There be many other Practices that are plainly contrary to
the Light of Nature. HOOPED Petticoats have something of Nakedness ; Mixt Dances
are Incentives to Lust ; Compotations in Private Houses, is a Drunken Practice."

the first, second, or third edition appears in any American catalogue. Mr. J. W. Dean, in
his memoir of Wigglesworth (IV. E. Hist. <S° Geneal. Reg., xvii. 145) says that "the
earliest edition of which we have been able to obtain any information is the 4th ; " and of
this, only one copy, besides Mr. Brinley's, is known to the writer. " The Day of Doom"
• was first printed in 1662. " It is not known that a copy of either of the first three editions
is extant" (Siblcy, Harv. Graduates, 284). Neither Mr. J. W. Dean nor Mr. Haven
(Cat. of Ante-Revol. Publications} could find a copy of any American edition earlier than
the sixth, of 1715. " This work," says Mr. Sibley, "represented the theology of the day,
and for a century, with the exception perhaps of the Bible, was more popular throughout
New England than any other that can be named."
Copies of subsequent editions (1715, -51, 1811, -28, -67 ; and " Meat out of the Eater,"
1770,) will be found in the Second Part of this Catalogue, under the head of AMERICAN
POETRY.

VERY LARGE and FINE copy of the only published work of the First Pastor of
Boston. It is EXCESSIVELY RARE. This sermon "was preached on occasion of
the Anabaptists first setting up in opposition to the Churches of Christ," — says Increase
Mather (On Infant Baptism, 1680, p. 277). A Baptist church had been organized, in
Charlestown, May 28, 1665. Five of their members had been disfranchised by the
General Court (Oct. nth), a few weeks before this Lecture was preached. Mr. Wilson,
says Cotton Mather, " had the Zeal of a Pharisee, I had almost said of a Seraphim, in
testifying against every thing that he thought offensive to God," — and, "in his sight,"
adds Mr. Frothingham, "among things most offensive was Anabaptists and Quakers."
(Hist, of Charlestown, p. 69.)
THE WORKS OF THE MATHERS.
For the purposes of this Catalogue, it has been found convenient to arrange the works of
the several members of the Mather family — extending nearly to four hundred and fifty titles
(exclusive of duplicates) — in the following order: —
(i) RICHARD, of Dorchester. (2) INCREASE, of Boston, son of Richard. (3) COTTON,
of Boston, son of Increase.
The others follow in the alphabetical order of their Christian names : (4) AZARIAH, of
Saybrook, son of Samuel (of Windsor). (5) ELEAZER, of Northampton, son of Richard.
(6) MOSES, of Middlesex, Conn., gr. gr. grandson of Richard. (7) NATHANAEL, of Dublin
and London, son of Richard. (8) NATHANAEL, of Boston, son of Increase. (9) SAMUEL,
of Dublin, son of Richard. (10) SAMUEL, of Windsor, Conn., son of Timothy and grandson
of Richard, (n) SAMUEL, of Witney (Engl.), son of Increase. (12) SAMUEL, of Boston,
son of Cotton.
The works of INCREASE and COTTON Mather (Nos. 939-1282) are arranged in the alpha
betical order of their titles : all the others, in the order of time of publication.
An obelisk (f) prefixed to a title indicates that the work was published anonymously.
In giving the sizes, the signatiires have been the guide. Signatures in eights (or half-sheets,
in fours) are marked 8°; in sixes or twelves, 12°.
Where no place of publication is named, it will be understood that the book was printed in
Boston, uhless specially marked as of no place (n. p.)

SUPERLATIVELY RARE. This copy has suffered somewhat, at the hands of a
former binder. The outer margin of pp. 3, 4, and the bottom margins throughout have
been cropped too close, taking off one line from pp. 17-21, and three or four words from
p. 26. The margins have been skilfully restored, and the few lost words can easily be
supplied in facsimile.

On the margin of the title-page, is written, in the Autograph of Richard Mather : " For
the Reverd Mr Shepard;" also, "Thomas Shepard's Booke, ye gift of ye Revd. Author
[Mr. Richard] Mather, Teacher of the Church in Dorchester," and " Ben. Wadsworth's,
1717." There are several marginal notes (in the "Answer") by Mr. Shepard — who has
also written, at the beginning of each part of the work, the name of the author. RARE.
937 — Two MANUSCRIPT Sermons: (i) "2 Cor: 5: i. At Good-
wife Wilkens funerall, Decr. 6th, i64[8?]" ^ pp. — (2) " Psal. 90: 12.
At Mr. Toogoods funerall, Decr. 12: 1653." ^pp> (wants one page.)
Eleven neatly written pages. Good autographs of Richard Mather are EXTREMELY
RARE. Additional interest is given to these choice specimens by their mention of two
names not found in the records of Dorchester or in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary.
" Goodwife Wilkens " may have been the wife or the mother of Bray Wilkins, of Dor
chester and Lynn : but who was the " Mr. Toogood " who died in 1653 ?
938 — MANUSCRIPT SERMON, from Heb. 13. 17, preached "At
an Ordina^'oTz at Marleborough. Apr: 7: 1659." 16 pages, 8°
A most desirable AUTOGRAPH, but of higher interest as an unpublished discourse of
Richard Mather, on the duty of obedience and submission of church-members, to their min
isters and officers. (" Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves," etc.)
" He wrote a treatise to prove that whatever frimledge and liberty may belong to the
fraternity, the rule of the church belongs only to its Presbytery." — Magnolia.
The occasion and the date of this Sermon deserve notice. The town of Maryborough
was not incorporated until May, 1660, and the Rev. William Brinsmead (a native of Dor
chester, and doubtless a member of Mather's church) is said to have been the first minister,
but he was not installed until October 3, 1666. That he (or any other) minister was
ordained at Marlborough as early as April, 1659, seems to have been unknown even to Mr.
Hudson, the local historian.

The Preface to this volume is also by I. Mather. The first sermon is by Cotton Mather :
"What the Pious Parent wishes for." The sermons are separately paged. An alphabet
ical arrangement reverses, in this instance, the order of time, giving the first place, in the
catalogue of Increase Mather's works, to one of his latest (No. 149 of Mr. Sibley's list).
The " Advice " was given in his 83d year, " without using any notes ;" " nor could we have
come at this particular Sermon, if we had not been beholden to the Pen of a pious Gentle

The motto of the title-page (taken from William of Paris) is : " Chorea est Circulus
cujus Centrum est Diabolus," — 'the Dance is a circle whose Centre is the Devil'! —
" Such Church-Members in N. E. as have sent their Children to be Practitioners or Spec
tators of mixt Dancing between Young Men and Maidens," says the Reverend author
(p. 29), "have cause to be deeply humbled. But stand still a while! what a word is
here ! Church-members and their Children in N. E. at mixt Dances ! Be astonished,
O ye Heavens ! without doubt, Abraham is ignorant of us, and Israel knoweth us not ! '
In November, 1684, the Ministers of Boston "come to the Court and complain against
a Dancing Master [Mr. Francis Stepney] who seeks to set up here, and hath mixt Dances,
and his time of meeting is Lecture-Day, and 'tis reported he should say that by one Play
he could teach more Divinity than Mr. Willard or the Old Testament. Mr. Moody said
'twas not a time for N. E. to dance. Mr. Mather struck at the Root, speaking against
mixt Dances." (SewalPs Diary.) Mr. Stepney was ordered not to keep a dancing school.
Disregarding the prohibition, in February, 1685-6, he was prosecuted and fined .£100, for
" speaking blasphemous words," but the payment of all but £10, was remitted on condition
that he should leave Boston before the last of March. Just then, a second impression of
" The Arrow against Dancing " was published.

sound copy of this EXCEEDINGLY RARE book. No epithet can be too strong to
characterize the scarcity of the one introuvable which so long escaped the search of Amer
ican collectors ; so rare, that Prince did not secure it for his New England Library, though
he could pick up half a dozen Bay Psalm Books ; so rare that S. G. Drake, the most inde
fatigable and successful of collectors, could not find it for his reprint, in 1862, and was
obliged to copy even his title page from the London edition ; and so rare that Mr. Sabin
himself, when noting the fact (in the Menzies Catalogue) that " trie New England edition
is not mentioned by Lowndes, nor elscrvhere, so far as we have been able to ascertain,"
makes the reluctant admission that " perhaps, no copy of it exists."
Mr. Brinley's copy is in fine condition, clean throughout, except inconsiderable water-
stains, easily removable. It is in the original marble-paper wrapper. In trimming, one line
of the Errata, on the last page of the Postscript and the Exhortation, was cut into, and a
few of the signatures and catch-words were touched: but the injury is so slight that in a
volume of less rarity and bibliographical importance, it would not be worth mention.

an Instrument of his which bears date, Dec. 31, 1662." In "extracting" very great liber
ties, it appears, were taken with the original. Mr. Prince notes : " N. B. The following
Piece of Mr. Mitchel's was wrote in answ'r to a letter of Mr. Higginson of Salem, who
being to preach the Election Sermon, wrote to Mr. Mitchel to give'his Thoughts upon the
subject." " N. B. Having compar'd the follow'g Extract, with the Original MS. of
Mr. Mitchel, I find these variations." The variations are noted, and the large omissions
supplied, in Prince's very neat chirography, on the margins, blank pages, and on two leaves
inserted. There is scarcely a sentence without a correction, and the additional matter is
nearly equal, in amount, to the printed extract. The tract is in beautiful condition.

8° n. p. \LondonT\ Printed in the year 1669
A second title-page, placed after the Preface, has the imprint : London, Printed for
John Allen in Wentworth Street, near Bell Lane, 1669.
This is the FIRST of Increase Mather's acknowledged publications. It stands as No. i
in Mr. Sibley's catalogue of Mather's works (Harvard Graduates, 438.) Isaiah Thomas
(Hist, of Printing, i. 286) says : " There is in an ancient library in Boston, a copy of
Increase Mather's Mystery of Israel's Libation (sic] printed in London, by John Allen.
It is supposed he came to Boston by encouragement from the Mathers." But Allen's
name does not appear on the first title-page, and on the second the imprint is "for" — not
as Thomas has it— by Allen. The work may have been printed by Green at Cambridge,
and some copies may have been provided with a special title-page for the London market.
It is certain that both title-pages were printed from the same types.
Collation: Epistle to the Reader, by John Davenport, 1667(11 pp.); To the Reader,
by W. G. (4 pp.); To the Reader, by W. H[ooke] (14 pp.); The Author's Preface

8° London, for yohn Allen, 1669
This copy has only one title-page, which has the London imprint in full. In a penciled
note, Mr. Brinley quotes what Thomas says of the printer (or publisher} John Allen, and
adds : " The two most complete collections of the Mathers' writings are those of Harvard
College and the Am. Antiq. Society. Neither of these includes this work." It is not in

pp. (6), 22, UNCUT. 8° Boston, for the Author, 1722
Attributed to Mather, in the Am. Antiq. Society (Haven's) catalogue, and by Mr.
Sibley (No. 157), on the authority of a copy on which I. M. is extended to "I. Mat/ier,
D.D." in a nearly contemporary hand-writing. Mr. Brinley's copy is so inscribed, and is
probably the one to which Mr. Sibley refers. The main argument of the tract is, that
" Monopolizing dormant lands subjects the Colony to Slavery," and that all " dormant
(unimproved) Lands ought to be Taxed for the support of government," and it appeals to
the General Assembly to " undo heavy Burdens, break every Yoke, make us a free People,
to Enjoy -without Price or Purchase -what God hath freely given us," &c. It is EX
TREMELY RARE. If by Mather (which seems very doubtful) it is the last work

volume: " Dono dedit Reverendus Author, Johanni Williams, 1707," and sixty-four
years afterwards, his great-grand-daughter wrote : " Eunice Williams Her Book, Jan'ry ist
1771. A New Year's Gift By Her Hon'rd Grand-Father the Rev'd Stephen Williams "
(of Longmeadow). It is in good condition, and has evidently been carefully preserved.
In the first tract, the address " To the Reader" contains a brief notice of the attack on
Deerfield and the capture of Mr. Williams and his family, with two marginal corrections,
probably by his pen. The discourse makes frequent allusions to recent events : the great
snow, oif Dec. 1703, and the loss of a Boston ship, in the harbor (p. 8), the storm of April
7th and 8th, 1704, which wrecked the French privateer " designing to do us hurt" (p. 28),
the terrible "windy tempest" at Cambridge, in 1682 (pp. 63-4), etc.

strange Blast has been upon the fruit Trees, in many Places ; so as that some whose
Orchards have yielded 500 Barrels of Cyder in a Year, now produce very little. But there
is another sort of Strong Drink imported from the Sugar Islands, which has been of all
others the most fatal. It is now called Ritm, but it once had another name, and a ridicu

frequency of " Games of Hazard, such as Cards and Dice, among pur Children " [in

EXCESSIVELY RARE. "By Mr. Cotton Mather," written by Judge Sewall on
his own copy of this Almanac, removes all doubt as to the authorship, if any could remain
after a glance at the nine pages addressed to the Reader, in style notably Matherese. A
letter from Rev. Simon Bradstreet of New London, written early in 1683, to Increase
Mather (printed in The Mather Papers, p. 479) returns thanks to him and his son, for
" the verses and Almanacks " sent, and a manuscript note, on this letter, by Prince, says :
" Mr. Cotton Mather published an Almanack for 1683, beginning with March."
This is the SECOND — it has hitherto been regarded as the FIRST work published

To the Reader, 4 pp., by M. Mead ; To the Reader, 3 pp., by Samuel Mather. Cotton
Mather's name is signed at the end of the work (p. 59) : " Finished Octob. 29, 1688." On
the last page (60) are verses on the deceased, by "One that had an Acquaintance with
him," signed R. Hale, — Robert (son of the Rev. John) Hale of Beverly, doubtless, who
was at Harvard College in the next class to Nathanael Mather.
The name of Samuel Mather, signed to the prefatory address, probably occasioned the
error in the Mass. Historical Society's, and the Prince Library catalogues, by which the
authorship of the book is assigned to him instead of to Cotton Mather.
This copy ends with " Finis," and is complete in itself. It was designed, however, as
the title-page shows, to be accompanied by a reprint of "Some Discourses on the true
Nature &c. of a Walk with God."

The initials N. R., subscribed to the Poem, (p. 16) are the last letters of the name
Cotto?* Mather.
This poem was, probably, Cotton Mather's FIRST PUBLISHED WORK. It was
printed three years before the Elegy on Collins (see No. 1106) and four years before the
first work named in Samuel Mather's list, the Sermon before the Execution of J. Morgan
(see No. 1025). Mr. Brinley's is the ONLY COPY KNOWN, and is believed to be
UNIQUE.
In May, 1683, Nathanael Mather of Dublin wrote to his brother Increase: " The last I
had from you was dated gber 15. 82. & with it Mr. Oaks his Sermon on Eccles. (see
No. 837) and two of your son's Poems on him, for which I thank you." — The Mather Pa

The second Sermon has a separate title, imprint, and paging : " The Way to Prosperity.

The Appendix (and its introductory "Mantissa") "touching Prodigies in New-Eng
land," are also separately paged. Some of the prodigies narrated are very striking : " In
the summer of the year 1688, just before the first eruption of our unhappy War, we had
growing in Boston a Cabbage-Root, out of which there sprouted three very wonderful
Branches, one of them exactly resembling a Curtlace [Cutlass], another of them as exactly
resembling a Rapier, and a third, extreamly like to the. Club used by the Indians in their
barbarous Executions. I was myself one among the many who visited this Curiosity."
This work of Mather's is of peculiar interest, as containing (in the dedicatory epistle
to Sir Henry Ashurst) a copy, cut in wood or type metal, of a portion of the famous
DIGHTON ROCK INSCRIPTION.

below, "*Credat Jiidaeus Apella, \ non ego" But, subsequently, a line was drawn
through this note. Another autograph of " Cotton Mather," on title, and " S. Matheri,"

BURNET, THOMAS HUTCHINSON, &c. Bound between guard-leaves,
in an elegant quarto volume, morocco extra, paneled sides, gilt edges,

A volume of remarkable interest. The letters of Dr. Mather (about 50 in number)
were written from Boston to his son, during the latter's service as deputy-commissary at
Fort Edward and in Canada, and his subsequent residence in Quebec, until his appoint
ment to a clerkship in the customs at Boston. The son, remaining loyal to the crown
became a refugee in England. His correspondence with his father was renewed after the
peace, and this volume contains three letters addressed to him in 1783 and 1/84, when
Dr. Mather was in his seventy-eighth year. To these are added, thirteen letters from
THOMAS HUTCHINSON to Samuel Mather, the younger, written while both were in
England, 1779-83 ; a letter from Judge SAMUEL SEWALL, from London, Aug. 3, 1689, to
his wife in Boston; a letter from Samuel Sewall (junior) to his brother, Nov. 26, 1713
(giving an account of the sickness and numerous deaths in Boston) ; one from COTTON
MATHER (imperfect), sent with the manuscript of his " Nehemiah " (printed in 1721)
to Judge Sewall ; and another, of higher interest to historians, the original draught (four
closely-writtcd pages, with numerous corrections) of COTTON MATHER'S LETTER TO
GEORGE VAUGHAN, Agent for New Hampshire, March 3, 1708, concerning the genuine
ness of the instrument known as the Wheelwright Deed of 1629. (This letter was printed
in the Appendix to Belknap's History of New Hampshire, and has been frequently referred
to by writers who have taken part in the Wheelwright deed controversy.) A letter from
Col. Edmund Quincy of Braintree, to Judge Sewall, Jan. 1721, replying to a question
concerning the order of march of the Israelites in the wilderness, one from Gov. Wm.
Burnet to S. Sewall, 1728 (injured), two or three from Mrs. Hannah Mather, wife of
Dr. Samuel (and sister of Gov. Hutchinson) to her son, and several others are included in
the collection.
This volume was formerly in the possession of Mr. Samuel G. Drake, who printed brief
extracts from two or three of the letters, in the Introduction to his edition of Mather's
History of Philip's War (pp. 18-22).

" No book published after the Restoration of Charles the Second was more influential
in reviving the waning belief in witchcraft — none supplied the magistrates at Salem with
so many authoritative precedents — on none did the Mathers draw more largely for 'won

Glanvil — a Fellow of the Royal Society, one of the Chaplains of Charles II., rector of the
Abbey Church at Bath, and subsequently a prebendary of Worcester."

The preface, dated Feb. 26, 1713-14, announces that, "a scheme of a Bank of Credit,
founded upon a Land Security, has been projected ; and will be humbly offered to the Con
sideration of the General Assembly, at their next Session." The tract "sets forth in a
plain and familiar way, not only the Nature, but the Feazibleness and Utility of such a
Fund of Credit." This seems to have been the first gun fired in the Land Bank war of
1714-21.

Thomas Prince's MS. It is one of the few publications bearing the imprint of " T. Fleet

to the private and public Bank projects, and advocated the issue of public bills, to be loaned

J440 — New News from Robinson Cruso's Island, in a Letter to a
Gentleman at Portsmouth, (n. /./.) pp. 8.
1 6° Cruso's Island [Boston], 1720
Dated, at end, Dec. igth, 1720. Written by an advocate of a larger emission o~f bills of
credit, and against the majority in the Council and the supporters of Gov. Shute in his
contest with the popular party. It abounds in allusions, serious and satirical, to prominent
men and measures of the time. A hit at " the great DON DAGO, the Primate-wou'd-be of
our Island (like the famous Dr. S 1 [Sacheverel] ) " and his "old Itch of Scribbling,"
seems intended for Cotton Mather, and so, perhaps, is one at a "Clergy-man who (Com-
median-like} will stand belabouring his Cushion and intermixing his Harrangue with
THUNDER-BOLTS, while he is entertaining \i\s peaceable Congregation with things whereof
he is almost as Ignorant as I am of the Saddle Balaam rode on when his Ass spoke," etc.
When Gov. Shute, in his speech at the opening of the session, March 15, 1721, recom
mended measures to punish the authors of factious and seditious papers, the House
answered that few or none would dare to publish such papers " if proper measures had
been taken to discover and punish the authors of a libel, called, News from Robinson
Cruso's Island, wherein the members of the House are grossly reflected upon " (HuiCH-
INSON, ii. 223). To that libel, the " New News " &c., was perhaps a rejoinder. Haven's
(Am. Antiq. Soc.) Catalogue has, on the authority of the Prince MS., the title of " Reflec
tions upon Reflections : or More News from Robinson Cruso's Island," attributed (with a
query) to Elisha Cooke, the leader of the popular party in the House.

This pamphlet, now EXTREMELY RARE, was printed for Benj. Gray, Feb. 1720-21.
At a meeting of the Council, Feb. 28, it was read and considered, and was declared to con
tain " many vile, scandalous, and very abusive expressions, which greatly reflect on His
Majesty's Government and People of this Province, and tend to disturb the public peace."
B. Gray, the publisher, was summoned, and "acknowledged that he had caused the same
to be printed, and that the original in manuscript was delivered to him by an unknown
hand," Feb. 8th. The Council directed the Attorney-General (Paul Dudley) " to prosecute
the said Gray, or any other person that may have been concerned in the making or pub
lishing the said Pamphlet." — THOMAS, Hist, of Printing, 11.425. "I believe," says
Thomas, " the affair was terminated by a compromise."
An " Advertisement," p. 12, notices the article in the " last Week's Gazette]"1 " by a cer
tain railing Rabshakeh," who has " attempted to stain the unblemished reputation of a
Worthy Gentleman, and a hearty Friend to his Country" ("Americus Patrise"); and a
second Advertisement is dated from "Cruso's Island, 1721," promising for the press "a
small Tract intituled, The Saddle set on the right Horse."
1443 -- A Letter from a Gentleman in Mount Hope, to his Friend
in Treamount, pp. 7, nearly uncut. 16° n. p., n. d. [Boston, 1721]
The Letter is dated, Feb. 27, 1721. It was occasioned by an article in the Boston Ga
zette of Feb. 20, dated " N. E. Castle William, February, 1720, 21," imputing interested
motives to a writer ("Americus Patrice?} who had advocated a larger emission of bills of
credit. The Gazette writer had designated "Americus Patriae " as " Worldly Wise Man."
This allusion, and the account given in the "Letter," pp. i, 2, of that "Reverend and
Worthy Gentleman's " treatment by Andros, point unmistakably to the Rev. John Wise
of Ipswich (Chebacco). See Nos. 1442 and 1445.

" Humbly Dedicated to the Merchants in Boston." A well-managed and witty plea for
paper money and "inflation." It is, for general readers, the most interesting of all the
tracts published in the Bank of Credit controversy, while its frequent references to trade,
manufactures, industries, and home-life in Boston and in the country towns, give it, to the
historian and antiquary, an exceptional value.

in May, 1722, and men who are able "to project schemes for reviving the sinking condi

that were active in promoting and drawing up the two Acts, in 1720," for preventing Riots
&c., and "for preventing Libels and scandalous Pamphlets, &c.,"both of which Acts were
" so justly rejected by the House." It is dated, April iSth, and subscribed " Brutus" and
" Cato." The pretence that it was received from England was, of course, intended merely

A beautiful copy of this VERY RARE tract, which gave such offence to the legislature
of Massachusetts that it was ordered to be burnt by the common hangman, and Daniel
Fowle, suspected of having printed it, was arrested and imprisoned. See Thomas's
History of Printing, i. 333-339. It gives a satirical account of the debate on the Excise
Bill, in the Council, after its passage by the House. The reputed author was Samuel
Waterhouse. Mr. Sabin (Dictionary, No. 12982) says : " Of this work . . . not more than
three or four copies are known," to have escaped the fire to which it was condemned by the
General Court.

And what the cause for which they came
To house of God from house of ale,

EXTREMELY RARE. Manifestly inspired by Cotton Mather, and perhaps written
by his nephew Thomas Walter. Mun-dungus Sawney is, of course, Dr. Douglass, — the
opprobrious epithet being suggested, apparently, by his " M.D." It is dedicated " To my
very Worthy Physician, Mr. Zabdiel Boylston."

8° y. Franklin, 1722
In this rejoinder to "A Vindication of the Ministers," &c. and "A Friendly Debate,"
Dr. Douglass treats Cotton Mather "with a philosophical freedom," as he terms it.
"The University of Glasgow .... gratify'd his Vanity with a D.D. . . Perhaps he may
oblige this his Alma Mater to disown him for a Son, as it seems the Royal Society have
already done, by omitting his name in their yearly Lists."

EXTREMELY RARE, in such condition. As long ago as 1814, Mr. Alden (Coll. of

ing work remain in existence."
Philip Ashton was a native of Marblehead. In 1722, he and his kinsman, Nich. Mer
ritt, were taken prisoners by the pirate Low, at Port Rossaway, Cape Sable, and carried
to the West ladies. He made his escape to an uninhabited island, near the Main, from
which he at last obtained a passage to New England, and landed at Salem, May i, 1725.
Mr. Barnard preached a Sermon, on his return, and published this narrative of his adven
tures. " The book is full of incident, and little known to the book collectors of New
England," — says Mr. Stevens, in a note on the English reprint, in his Nuggets, p. 40.

The Register for 1785, by Nathan Daboll, published by T. Green, is the first of "Green's

Sermons. 16°, 4°, and 8°
The Election Sermons of 1729, 1735, *739> an<^ J743> were not printed. Five sermons
were printed in Cambridge and Boston, before a press was established in Connecticut. Of
these five, four will be found elsewhere in this Catalogue: namely, J. Fitch's, 1674 (the
FIRST PRINTED), No. 767; S. Wakeman's 1685, No. 880; J. Whiting's, 1686, No. 888;
and G. Saltonstall's, 1697, No. 854. Only three (1710-12) were printed in Connecticut
before that of T. Bulkeley, 1713, with which this series begins.
Mr. Brinley began this collection of these Sermons nearly forty years ago, and allowed
no opportunity of completing and perfecting it to escape. His success is almost unexam
pled. Many of the earlier sermons are EXTREMELY RARE, and nearly all, before 1790,
are scarce. It is unnecessary to remark on the importance of a series of the Election Ser
mons, to any historical library. There is scarcely any source from which so much light is
thrown on colonial institutions, civil and political, as well as religious.
From 1713 to 1 764, inclusive, the Election Sermons were printed at New London:
1765-1770, alternately at Hartford and New London; 1771-74, N. London; 1775-1818,
Hartford, except 1778, N. Haven; 1818-1830, alternately, Hartford and New Haven.
The size was, from 1710 to 1764, 16° (hf. sheet 8°) ; from 1765 to 1784, various, 4° and

" the Libertines ' gnashed on him with their teeth,' as the Cyrenians did on Stephen,
because he was loyal to his King, . . and like the deaf Adder, they ' stopped their Ears,
ran upon him, and cast him out of the City ' " (p. 24).

For full and impartial accounts of John Rogers of New London, the founder of the
sect of " Rogerenes," sometimes called " Rogerene Baptists," and " Rogerene Quakers,"
see Backus's History of N. E. Baptists, i. 473-480 ; ii. 105-108 ; and Miss Caulkins's
History of N. London, pp. 202-221. John Rogers, senior, who died in 1721, published
numerous books and pamphlets, nearly all of which were without date, place, or name of
printer. "A Midnight Cry " was several times reprinted. The editions, probably, were
small, and as the circulation of the books was restricted to the sect, copies of the earlier
impressions are now VERY RARE, and are still more rarely found complete or in tolerable
condition.

Agency of the Honourable John Winthrop, Esq ; in the Court of King Charles the Second,
Anno Dom. 1662, When he obtained for the Colony of Connecticut His Majesty's Gracious

MANUSCRIPTS.
ACCOUNT BOOK OF MAJOR JOHN TALCOTT.
2135 TALCOTT QOHN) MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT BOOK, 1674-88; includ
ing his accounts with the Colony, of his receipts and disbursements,
as Treasurer, during the INDIAN WAR, 1675-6. Continued by his
son, Samuel Talcott, to 1728. Elegantly bound, in full dark brown
levant morocco extra (by Bedford}. cap folio.
Major Talcott was Colony Treasurer from 1659, until his death, in 1688 ; an Assistant,
from 1662; and Commander-in-chief of the Connecticut forces in the Indian War, in 1676.
This volume contains his public as well as his personal accounts, for about 15 years. Every
page has matter of interest to students of Connecticut history, and there are many entries
sufficiently curious to attract even the most cursory reader. Here is one account, as it
stands on opposite pages of the ledger (pp. 54, 55) :
" 1676. Capt. John Stanton of Stonington, DR. To sundry Commissions gave Capt.
Stanton to proceed ag; ye Indians : by which he gained much on sales of captives."
" CONTRA. 1677, April 30. Per received an Indian Girll of him, about 7 : years old,
which he gave me for Commissions on the other side, or at best, out of good -will for my
kindness to him."
MANUSCRIPTS. 259
That Major Talcott was careful to save all the property of the Colony for which, as
magistrate or treasurer, he was in any measure responsible, the following entry bears
testimony :
"1679. Jan- *• COUNTRY, DR. To so much paid Wm. Edwards, for taking Henry
Green out of the Dungeon, being dead, — cutting off his legs to save his Irons, & seeing
to his buriall, for which I promised & p'd him £00.10.00."
HARTFORD COUNTY-COURT RECORDS, 1718-19.

Small Causes, in Hartford, [before Hezekiah Wyllys Esq. J. P.,]
June 21, 1727 -May 17, 1731 : and of the Court of Chancery or

cases growing out of the repeal of the act of Incorporation of the
New London Society United for Trade and Commerce.] Half
dk. brown levant morocco extra (F. Bedford). folio.
This volume — rescued a few years since from a paper-mill — is of much interest to
Connecticut historians and antiquaries. It fills a gap — which, certainly, ought never to
" the "
have been made — in the original records of both the Hartford County Court and the
Colonial Courts of Equity. Col. Hezekiah Wyllys, of Hartford, was Secretary of the
Colony, from 1712 to 1735, and a Judge of the County Court.

1 6° New York, Printed by Henry De Foreest in King-Street, 1752
EXCESSIVELY RARE, if not UNIQUE. Its title is not in Haven's (Am. Antiq.
Soc.) Catalogue, in Sabin's Dictionary, or in any other Catalogue that has been consulted.
It was perhaps privately printed. This, the only known copy, has several corrections of the
text, which seem have been made by the author.
When this tract was written, Roger Sherman was in business as a country-merchant, in
New Milford, but was prosecuting the study of law. He was not admitted to the bar
until December, 1754. This is not only the earliest but (with the exception of his Alma
nacs} the only work published by the man whom Jefferson pointed out as one "who never
said a foolish thing in his life." Not long after this publication, in his Almanac for 1753,
he " fills up a vacant page " (2 pages), with " Thoughts upon the loss and damages which the

" Connecticut is almost totally an ecclesiastical state, ruled by the President of the Col
lege [Dr. Dwight], as by a Monarch" (p. 14). "Time only can determine who have done
most injury to Christianity, Paine, or the Calvinistic clubs." The name of the author of
this tract (which is now SCARCE) seems to have remained unknown. Mr. Brinley's copy
has, on the first leaf, the name of " J. Andrews, from L. Andrews," and below the half-
title, in the same hand-writing, " J. C. Ogden," i. e. the Rev. John C. Ogden, of New
Haven, 1770-85, afterwards rector of the Episc. Church in Portsmouth, N. H., and
again, for a time, in Connecticut, after 1793. I m^er that the tract was printed by Loring
Andrews in Stockbridge, about 1800.

A very curious and an EXTREMELY RARE book, which, though it chiefly relates to per
sonal grievances of the author and his friends, contains some matter of larger interest.
The parties all belonged to the second (Six Principle) Baptist Church in Newport, of
which James Clarke and Daniel Wightman were pastors. — The type is certainly James
Franklin's. It is the same that was used for his edition of Hodder's Arithmetic (Boston,
1719) and one of the initial ornaments, p. 3, was used in his reprint of "The Isle of
Man," 1719.

Of EXTRAORDINARY RARITY. The FIRST WORK PRINTED IN RHODE
ISLAND, — four years before the date which Thomas (i. 419) gives as that of the establish
ment of the First Press in Newport. A most desirable acquisition to every Rhode Island
collector, it will be scarcely less attractive to collectors of FRANKLINIANA, in other states,
since James's " Poor Robin " manifestly gave the hint for Benjamin's " Poor Richard,"
first printed in 1 732. The calendar pages contain many pithy remarks and quaint proverbs,
much in the vein of " Richard Saunders, Philom." Mr. Brinley's copy is well-preserved,
but probably wants one leaf at the end, though the calendar is complete.

PREFACE.
When the First Part of this Catalogue was issued, a year ago,
the compiler believed that the whole library could be conveniently
disposed of in three sales, not exceeding a week each. The number
of volumes and titles is found to be greater than was supposed, and
it has seemed best to divide the catalogue into four parts.
The Second Part, now presented, comprises 1714 lots, and more
than 3000 titles. These include the books and pamphlets relating to
the Middle States; the Southern States, from Maryland to Georgia —
the youngest of the Thirteen Colonies ; the American Revolution ;
Washingtoniana ; and such other special collections as naturally come
within the range indicated.
The collection relating to the Middle Colonies — and especially,
the series of books printed in Philadelphia and New York before
1750 — will be found not less remarkable than that of early New
England imprints in the First Part of the Catalogue. It is needless
to point out, in a prefatory note, the rarities which readers will not be
long in discovering for themselves ; but, chiefly for convenience of
reference, a list of some of the most important works is appended,
and to a few of these the compiler may be allowed to direct special
attention.
In First Works, the collection is wonderfully rich. It includes (No.
3367) the First work of the First printer in the Middle Colonies —
William Bradford's Kalendarium Pennsilvaniense, Philadelphia, 1685 \
the First book printed in New York (3444) ; the First American
edition of the Book of Common Prayer (3450); the First Map engraved
in New York (3446); the First book known to have been printed in
Delaware (3648); probably, the First two books printed in Maryland
(3667, 3672 : see also, 3670, 3658); and the First two of Virginia (3694,
3818); the First book, the Laws excepted, printed in the Carolinas, or
south of Virginia (3886) ; an imprint of the First press and the First
printer in Georgia (3929); the First printed collections of the Laws of
New York (3444), Delaware (3648), and Virginia, from an American
press (3694) ; etc.
VI PREFACE.
Of the productions of William Bradford's press, in Philadelphia
and New York, forty-five will be found in the Catalogue, seventeen of
which were printed before 1700. Four others bear the rare imprint
of William and Andrew Bradford : and Andrew Bradford's press in
Philadelphia is represented by eleven of its issues. There are twelve
works printed by REYNIER JANSEN, three of which were published in
1699, the first year of the re-establishment of a press in Philadelphia (see
No. 3452); thirteen printed by SAMUEL KEIMER ; and one with the imprint
of DAVID HARRY. Of the second press in New York, JOHN PETER
ZENGER'S, there are twelve specimens, including several of his earliest
and rarest works; one, with the exceptionally rare imprint of J. ZEN-
GER Jun. (3440), and two with that of the Widow Catharine Zenger
(3441, 3442). A glance through the pages of the catalogue is enough
to show how large a proportion it comprises of the productions of the
presses of James Parker, Henry De Foreest, Wm. Weyman, Hugh
Gaine, John Holt, and James Rivington, of New York, — and of the
third William Bradford, and Thomas Bradford, Anthony Armbruster,
James Chattin, Andrew Steuart, William Dunlap, Robert Bell, and
other ante-revolutionary printers of Philadelphia.
The collection of the writings of FRANKLIN, books and pamphlets
printed by him and his partners, and other Frankliniana, is the largest
that has ever been offered in a single catalogue, and, probably, the
largest ever gathered in a private library. It comprises more than 200
imprints, in 168 lots. Many of these are of remarkable rarity, and
several are rendered unique, by Franklin's autograph notes : see Nos.
3203, 3292, 3323, and, above all, the five Tracts on the Stamp Act
and Taxation of the Colonies, Nos. 3218-3222. Especially notewor
thy are Sewel's History of the Quakers (3315), the volume on which
Franklin and Meredith worked with Keimer in 1728; the first two
volumes of the PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, 1728-30, published, after No.
40, by Franklin and Meredith (3449) ; and John Meredith's " Short
Discourse " (3197), one of the first works of Franklin's press ; " Some
Observations " by Franklin in defence of Mr. Hemphill (3197), a tract
so rare that Mr. Sparks was unable to find a single, copy ; the " Con
stitutions of the Free Masons," with twenty-five pages of manuscript,
in Franklin's autograph, bound in; Arndt's "Wahre Christenthum,"
with the imprint of Franklin and Boehm (3272) ; Renouard's own
copy of his elegant edition of Franklin's "Opuscules" (3225) ; and —
among the Frankliniana — the satirical " Epitaph on a certain Great
Man" (3267).
Mr. Brinley, like Heber, liked to have duplicates of good books.
Four copies of the translation of the Cato Major, printed by Franklin
— three of which are exceptionally fine — will be found in this Cata-
PREFACE. Vll
logue (3281-84). Most collectors would be satisfied with one good
copy of Gabriel Thomas's Account of Pennsylvania and New Jersey :
Mr. Brinley retained three (3102-04). There are two copies of Frank
lin's Narrative of the Massacres at Lancaster (3063, 3215); and two
of the original privately-printed edition of Jefferson's " Notes on Vir
ginia" — one of which (3761) has the author's autograph presentation
to David Rittenhouse. But who ever saw — or is likely to see again —
two copies of Dickinson's "God's Protecting Providence" in an auction-
room, at the same time ?
The most careless reader will not overlook certain rarissima whose
titles are familiar to, and possession of which is coveted by, every
collector, — such as the series of Dutch publications concerning New
Netherland (2714-2723) ; Bradford's Laws of New York (3444) and
Book of Common Prayer (3450) ; the original editions of Colden's
History of the Five Nations (2770) and " First Causes of Action in
Matter" (2774), and his still rarer "Papers relating to An Act," etc.
(3384), containing the engraved Map of the Country of the Five Na
tions ; Horsmanden's History of the Negro Plot (2865); Budd's
" Good Order Established " (3042) ; Lord De-La-Warre's Relation
(3742) ; Bullock's Virginia (3725) and Jones's Present State of Vir
ginia (3773); "Virginia richly valued" (3811), and Williams's "Virgo
Triumphans" and "Discovery of Silke-Wormes " (3816-17); Hilton's
Relation (3869) ; Lederer's Discoveries (3875) ; the Brief Description
of Carolina (3842) ; McCall's History of Georgia (3908) ; etc., etc.
But a more thorough examination of the Catalogue will bring to notice
a good many volumes and tracts, not less rare than those which have
been mentioned, or less necessary to the completeness of an American
library, yet less known to collectors and nearly unnoticed by bibli
ographers. See, for examples, Holder, 3530 ; Maule, 3434, 3435 ;
Leeds, 3427; Jenkin, 3440; Pusey, 3452, 3453; Fenwick, 3610;
Varlo, 3630-32 ; Bray, 3667-69 ; A Fan for Fanning, 3866 ; Purry,
3883 ; and others, of which one of the least known, but not the least
interesting, is Bradford's reprint of Reach's "War with the Devil"
(3405), with commendatory verses prefixed, by " W. B." and " E. B." —
William and Elizabeth Bradford.
The writings of the erratic and indefatigable George Keith and the
replies made to them occupy 34 numbers of the Catalogue, comprising
42 pieces. The greater part of these will be found on pages 89-91 ;
the others on pp. 105-107 and 119.
It would be inexcusable to pass over, even in these desultory notes,
the collection of WASHINGTONIANA. In extent and importance this
collection is believed to be unequalled by any other, public or private,
in this country. It contains nearly 400 distinct publications ;
vill PREFACE.
including both editions of "The Journal of Major Washington," in
discharge of his first public trust, — the original, printed at Williams-
burgh, 1754, and the London reprint, of the same year; "A Memorial"
(containing Washington's second Journal), Hugh Game's edition, 1757 ;
the first editions of Condie's Biographical Memoirs and Corry's Life
of Washington : the London and Philadelphia editions of Marshall's
Life ; the Boston, New York, and Trenton collections of the " Political
Legacies;" the Newport, Baltimore, and Lancaster Washingtoniana;
1 80 Orations, Sermons, Eulogies, etc., occasioned by the Death of
Washington ; 37 Birthday and other Commemorative Addresses, etc.,
etc. Dr. F. B. Hough's " Bibliographical List of Books and Pamphlets
relating to the Death of Washington," contains 252 titles; of which,
177 are in Mr. Brinley's collection, with three others not found in that
List.

2683 MATHER (COTTON) THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD
Commemorated. Praises Bespoke for the God of Heaven, In a
Thanksgiving Sermon • delivered on Decemb. 19, 1689 . . . With
a Postscript giving an Account of some very stupendous Accidents,
which have lately happened in France. — To which is Added a Ser
mon preached unto the Convention of the Massachuset Colony,
With a short Narrative of several Prodigies, which New-England
hath of late had the Alarms of Heaven in,//. (8), 64, 7, 36, 5, (7),
calf gilt, (Pratt), FINE COPY. 8° Boston, S. Green, 1690
The second Sermon has a separate title, imprint, and paging: " The Way to Prosperity.
A Sermon preached to the Honourable Cunvention of the Governour, Council, and Repre
sentatives of the Massachuset-Colony," May 23, 1689. Richard Pierce, for Benj. Harris,
1690. (See S. Mather's Life of C. Mather, p. 43.) An error of the printer makes the
last page — number 26, instead of 36.
The Appendix (and its introductory "Mantissa") "touching Prodigies in New-Eng
land," are also separately paged. Some of the prodigies narrated are very striking: "In
the summer of the year 1688, just before the first eruption of our unhappy IVar, we had
growing in Boston a Cabbage-Root, out of which there sprouted three very wonderful
Branches, one of them exactly resembling a Curtlace [Cutlass], another of them as exactly
resembling a Rapier, and a third, extreamly like to the Club used by the Indians in their
barbarous Executions. I was myself one among the many who visited this Curiosity."
This work of Mather's is of peculiar interest, as containing (in the dedicatory epistle
to Sir Henry Ashurst) a copy, cut in wood or type metal, of a portion of the famous
DIGHTON ROCK INSCRIPTION.

quotes — perhaps from a MS. note — "reprinted at Cambridge." This volume, however
is not a reprint, but was published from the author's manuscript by his brother, Increase
Mather, whose reversed initials, M. I., are subscribed to the prefatory Address. Mr. Sib-

stated, with some degree of positiveness, that there were evidences of a Spanish colony
having existed in the Onondaga Valley among the Six Nations. Nothing of this appears
in the second edition (1820), and probably the rarity of the first is occasioned by its destruc

In the " Independent Reflector," Livingston vigorously opposed the establishment of an
American Episcopate and the incorporation of an Episcopal college in New York. In the
Preface — which is so rare as to have nearly escaped notice by the bibliographers — he gives
some account of the means employed to suppress the Reflector. James Parker refused to
print it, after the end of the first year, and no other printer in New York dared undertake
its publication. When the Preface was printed does not appear. The imprint of the
general title is: "New York (until tyrannously suppressed) in 1753." On the back of the
title is an Advertisement, apologizing for errors of the press, "which were not amended
pursuant to the author's corrections : for which, by the necessity to which he was reduced,
by the arts and influence of his Adversaries, of applying to the most inartificial of the
occupation, will, he hopes, be a sufficient Atonement." — It will be observed that this volume
also contains a copy of the scarce :' Pietas et Gratulatio" of Harvard College.

VERY SCARCE. A coarse lampoon on the Presbyterians, who sustained the Proprietor,
in his contest with the popular party in the Assembly. The Moderator, " Mr. J . . n
E . . . g" [Ewing], is represented as offering, at the end of the Council, a prayer, in which
occurs the petition : " Lord ! Take the Pistol of thy Vengeance, and the Mortar-Piece of
thy Wrath, and pound all our Enemies to Hodge Podge ! But for us, thy Children, feed
us with the Pruins and Raisins of thy Promises, and give us the Spurs of Confidence,
and Boots of Hope," etc.
There is an allusion (p. 6) to "W. . . n [Wilson?], who was put upon writing that stupid
Epitaph on Mr. F . . . n " [Franklin].
This tract has been attributed — on questionable authority — to Franklin. More probably
it was the work of his son William — who next year published, anonymously, another squib
of similar character : " A Humble Attempt at Scurrility," etc., " By Jack Retort." The
type is, almost certainly, Ambruster's — not Franklin and Hall's.

abstract of its title. Rich, no. 403*, has the full title, but makes the number of pages, 14,
instead of 10.)
The title page is soiled and has received some injury. In other respects, this is a good
copy of this tract which is not only VERY RARE, but which has intrinsic value, as one
of the corner stones of the history of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia. " It is the best

The printer was Andrew Sowle — from whom William Bradford learned his trade.
Bradford came with Wm. Penn to America in 1682. How long he remained in this
country or where he was between 1682 and his second coming from England — husband
of Sowle's daughter — no one seems to know. Did he resume, for a time, his place in the
printing office of his old master ? And, if so, is it not more than probable that he put in
type this Letter of Penn which has Sowle's imprint?

FRANKLIN'S WORKS,
AND BOOKS PRINTED AT HIS PRESS.
The Works of Franklin are arranged, as nearly as possible, in the order of publication
of their first editions. For his autobiography — under various titles — and the Essays which
have often been printed with it — see Nos. 3230, and following.
When no place of impression is named, the volume was printed in Philadelphia.
3197 [FRANKLIN.] Some | Observations | on the | Proceedings against |
The Rev. Mr. Hemphill ; | with a Vindication of his Sermons. | The
Second Edition. | wants the last 4 leaves (pp. 25-32), half morocco,
uncut. 12° B. Franklin, 1735
EXTREMELY RARE. Franklin, in his autobiography, says of Mr. Hemphill and his
troubles: " I became his zealous partisan, and finding that though an elegant preacher,
he was but a poor writer, / wrote for him two or three pamphlets, and a piece in the
Gazette of April, 1735. These pamphlets, as is generally the case with controversial
writings, though eagerly read at the time, were soon out of vogue, and I question whether
a single copy of them now exists." Mr. Sparks remarks, in a note : " None of these
pamphlets has been found.'19 — SPARKS'S Franklin, I. 126. Two replies to these "Observa
tions" will be found in TRACTS, No. 3478.

This volume is from Dr. FRANKLIN'S LIBRARY, and contains MANY MANUSCRIPT
CORRECTIONS AND NOTES by him. In the margin of the first edition of his "Experi
ments," he has entered the names of those to whom he was indebted for experiments, or
who had verified them, — "E. Kinnersley," "Dr. Philip Syng," and others. Some of
Henley's marginal criticisms of Wilson — which are very sharp — have suffered by the
binder's trimming knife, but many remain intact. The volume is one of RARE INTEREST
to scientific as well as to literary collectors.

TRACTS ON THE STAMP ACT, AND TAXATION OF AMERICA :
Dr. Franklin's copies, with his Manuscript Notes.
Five volumes, printed in London and Paris, 1765-69, each of which is rendered UNIQUE
by copious notes and comments in FRANKLIN'S HANDWRITING. Uniformly bound, by
Mr. F. Bedford, in grosgrain levant dark red morocco extra, -without gilding, except
filleted edges.
3218 (FRANKLIN.) [Knox (Wm.)] The Claim of the Colonies to an
Exemption from Internal Taxes imposed by Authority of Parlia
ment, Examined,//. (2), 46. 8° London, for W. Johnston, 1765
Franklin has written, on the title page, " By Knox Esq., Agent for Georgia." Of his
numerous marginal notes, one may serve for a specimen. The author asserts " that the
parliament of Great Britain has exercised supreme and uncontrolled jurisdiction, inter
nally and externally, over the properties and persons of the subjects in the colonies."
" Highwaymen," comments Franklin, "on Hounslow Heath have for ages past exercised
the same Jurisdiction over Subjects here; but does that prove they had a Right so to do ? "
3219 — [The Lords'] Protest against the Bill To repeal the American
Stamp Act of Last Session,//. 16, uncut, except at top.
8° A Paris, chez J. W. Imprimeur, 1766
Nearly all the margins are crowded with Franklin's comments and suggestions for a
more formal reply, which probably was never written. [The Lords' "Second Protest,
with a List of the Voters," etc., with Franklin's marginal notes, of similar character, is
described in the catalogue of Mr. T. H. Morrell's Library, and again in the Menzies Cata
logue, no. 745.]
3220 -- The True Constitutional Means For putting an End to the
Disputes between Great-Britain and the American Colonies,//.
(2), 38. 8° London, for T. Becket and P. A. DeHondt, 1769
'• Query, Could this be written by Mr. Jackson ? From some Expressions and Argu
ments, it should seem so ; but others are so unlike his Precision, that I rather think he is
not the Author," — wrote Franklin, on the title-page. His marginal notes are copious
and racy. When the author alludes (p. 26) to " Virginian luxury," and to the numerous
servants "at some entertainments," as evidences of the wealth of the colonists, Franklin
remarks : "It has been a great Folly in the Americans, to entertain English Gentlemen
with a splendid Hospitality, ill-suited to their Circumstances ; by which they have excited
no other grateful sensation in their guests than that of a Desire to tax the Landlord."
As additional proof of the ability of the Colonies to sustain taxation, the writer shows
that their importations amount to four millions per annum. " This," comments Franklin,
" is arguing the Riches of a People, from their Extravagance — the very thing that keeps
them Poor ! "
3221 — [Mauduit (I.)] A Short View of the History of the Colony of
Massachusetts Bay, With Respect to their Original Character and
Constitution,//. (4), 71, UNCUT. 8° London, J. Wilkie, 1769
" In all the late Disturbances," says the author, " the people of Massachusetts Bay
have taken the lead." Franklin's comment is : " The Virginians claim the Honour of
having taken the Lead. But, as they are Episcopalians, & the N. E. People Dissenters,
of whom Sedition, Republicanism, & Rebellion are more easily believed, & against whom
an Accusation of any sort is more readily believ'd, therefore the Ton here [in London] is,
to ascribe the Lead to them."
3222 — An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Present Dis
putes between the British Colonies in America and their Mother-
Country, wants after p. 74, fine portrait of Franklin inserted.
8° London, for y. Wilkie, 1769
The margins crowded with spirited and characteristic notes, by Franklin. (One of
these, on page 40, ends with a curious illustration, in short-hand, which Mr. Sparks has
omitted.}

EXTREMELY RARE. The publication of this brutal attack on Franklin was one of
the incidents of the political contest in Philadelphia in 1764, when the proprietary party
succeeded in defeating, by a small majority, Franklin's election as representative in the
Assembly. See, in "The Substance of a Council," &c. (No. 3070) p. 6, an allusion to
" W . . . n [Wilson ?], who was put upon writing that stupid Epitaph on Mr. F . . . n."

his Pamphlet, entitled " Information to those who would wish to

8° London, A. Grant, for the Author, 1790
" This anonymous writer endeavors to depreciate the character of Dr. Franklin in these
Memoirs which are loose, general, and of course deficient. He flatly contradicts the rep
resentations used by the Doctor to encourage emigration to America." — Rich.
It is perhaps not generally known that these memoirs supplied the continuation of
Franklin's autobiography, for the French translation of the " Memoires de la Vie privee,"
published by Buisson, in 1791 (see No. 3230). The French editor, in a note (2de pte.,
p. 2) observes that "the observations and reflections" of the author of the continuation
"are those of an Englishman, and, consequently, of a zealous defender of the Mother
Country, as will easily be discovered"; and that " I1 Observateur is not in all things the
approver of Franklin's conduct and opinions." The most objectionable passages of the
English memoir are omitted in the translation: e. g. the statement (p. 34) that Franklin
was dismissed from the office of post-master, "for some mal-practice therein." The
" Information to those who would wish to remove to America," which was reviewed by the
English writer, is given entire in the French translation.

Not by Franklin, though positively ascribed to him by his nephew, the Boston re-publisher,

Jackson, the agent of Pennsylvania and Connecticut, in England — who, probably, was
assisted by Franklin in its preparation.

"True Christianity" — the most esteemed work of its author, an eminent Lutheran
divine (born 1555, died 1621) — was first published, in German, in 1605 ; and, before 1700,
had been translated into several languages. An English translation of the first book was
printed in 1646; and of the whole work, by A. W. Boehm, London, 1711, and again, 1720.
The German Evangelical Lutheran Ministerium of Pennsylvania and adjoining colonies
was organized in 1748. The Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg — " the patriarch of the
Lutheran church in America " — came to Philadelphia in 1 742. His name appears in the
list of subscribers to this volume, with the names of the other German Lutheran ministers
in Pennsylvania — Peter Brunnholtz, Joh. Fr. Handschuh, Joh. Nic. Kurtz, J. P. Leydich,
Joh. Lischi, J. F. Schaum, T. Wagner, Joh. Alb. Weygant, — and Joh. Chr. Hartwig, of
Rhinebeck, N. Y., who wrote a preface, giving some account of the work and its author.
The editor, the Rev. Philip Boehm, whose name is associated, in the imprint, with
Franklin's, as a partner was the first minister of the German Lutherans of Falconer-Swamp
Church, Montgomery Co., Pa.
In a description of this volume, printed in the Philadelphia Press, Nov. 10, 1870,
the writer, G. H. [George Hamilton ?] remarks that Boehm " is not generally known to
have been at one time a partner of Benj. Franklin. So far, in fact, from this being gen-
'erally known, it may perhaps safely be said to be almost unknown, so rarely do we meet
with a work with the imprint of Franklin and Boehm. The writer has seen but one such
volume [the one here described.] . . . The size of this volume (greater as to the number of
'pages than any Franklin publication we have seen or known) it might be thought would
'have secured a good many copies from loss or destruction, . . yet I believe no copies are
'to be found in our principal public libraries."
The 64 curious (emblematic) copperplate engravings were — as the Preface informs us
great expense to the publisher," from Germany : and to ensure the accuracy
of the text (which was reprinted from a Zurich edition of 1746), the proofs had been care
— obtained, " at

The collection of moral precepts, in Latin verse, which have come down to us under
the name of an unknown " Dionysius Cato," was a standard text book for young scholars
in the middle ages, and until the last century. If they can be regarded as classic, this
tract may pass for " the first translation of a classic which was both made and printed in
the British colonies." It is VERY RARE.

The first Provincial Grand Lodge in America was established at Boston, July 30, 1733.
On Franklin's application to this Lodge, a charter was granted for a lodge in Philadelphia,
of which he was chosen the first Master. This volume contains a manuscript record of
the establishment of the Provincial Grand Lodge ; and of the application for, and the estab
lishment and organization of the first Boston Lodge ; its by-laws, a list of its members, votes,
etc., to 1736. This record (or transcript of record) is very neatly written, and a comparison
with the handwriting of Franklin, of the same period, shows it to be in HIS AUTOGRAPH,
made, probably, "for the use of the Brethren," of the new lodge in Philadelphia.

Who was John Meredith? That the publication of the "Short Discourse" was aimed
at Keimer — Franklin's old employer and present rival — seems highly probable. Keimer (as
Franklin mentions in his autobiography) " kept the Seventh-Day Sabbath.' '

Corrected, pp. (12), 694, (16), covers removed for re-binding, VERY
RARE. folio, Philadelphia, Samuel Keimer, in Second Street, 1728
A VERY LARGE, SOUND copy, well preserved, though somewhat yellowed by age. Mr.
Brinley had removed the old corners, preparatory to placing it in Mr. Bedford's hands, for
rebinding.
Though this volume bears Keimer's imprint, a considerable part of it — and, typograph
ically regarded, the best part — was the work of Franklin. " Breintnal particularly procured
for us [Franklin and Meredith,] from the Quakers, the printing 40 sheets of their history,
the rest being to be done by Keimer ; and upon these we worked exceeding hard, for the
price was low. It was a folio, pro patria size, in pica, with long-primer notes. I composed
a sheet a day, and Meredith worked it off at press ; it was often eleven at night, and some
times later, before I had finished my distribution for the next day's work."— FRANKLIN'S
Life.
Franklin's work is easily distinguished from Keimer's by the difference of the type.
The Title and Dedication, pp. 457 10694, and the Index (16 pp.) are from Franklin's
press. These make over sixty (instead of forty) sheets of the whole work.

Of SUPERLATIVE RARITY. "The earliest issue of Bradford's press, known to
me, is an Almanac for the year 1686, produced of course in 1685. One copy alone seems
to have survived to this day, and that one has wandered far from the place of its origin.
New England boasts its possession." — WALLACE'S Commemor. Address, p. 26. This is
the "one copy " to which Mr. Wallace referred. It was formerly bound up with a volume
of Almanacs belonging to Judge Sewall, which came, some ten years ago, into Mr. Brin-
ley's possession. Rich as his library is in monuments of American typography, it contains
not many books of so great interest to the collector as this FIRST WORK of the FIRST
PRINTER of PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK.
An Address "To the Reader," by the Editor, dated "Philadelphia, the 3d of the roth
Month (December) Anno 1685," occupies the 2d and half the 3d page, and is followed by
one from "The Printer to the Readers," subscribed by "W. Bradford, Philadelphia, the
28th, loth Month." It begins : " Hereby understand that after great Charge and Trouble,
I have brought the great Art and Mystery of Printing- into this part of America, believing
it may be of great service to you in several respects," &c.

JUDGE'S SEWALL'S copies; one (1711) having many of his manuscript memoranda.
The Almanac for 1709, was, certainly, from Bradford's New York press. (The cut of
" the Anatomy of Man's Body " is printed from the same block used by Bradford in Leeds's
Almanacs, 1710, 1713, &c., and there are other unmistakable marks of his typography.)
It is probable — but not quite certain — that Travis's Almanac for 1711, and two or three
others, with similar imprints, were printed by Bradford for Boston booksellers, 1712-15.

SUPERLATIVELY RARE. Mr. Sabin (Dictionary, iv. 222) gave the title from
Mr. H. C. Murphy's (imperfect) copy, which he regarded as "probably UNIQUE."
The " Map of the Country of The Five Nations," etc. — said to be "the first map en
graved in the Province of New York " — is in its FIRST STATE. The full (engraved)
title is: "A MAP of the Countrey of THE FIVE NATIONS | belonging to the Province of
New York and of | the LAKES near which the Nations of FAR INDIANS | live with part
of CANADA taken from the Map of the | LOUISIANE done by Mr. De Lisle in 1718."
The plate subsequently received some correction, and many Indian names were inserted.
The last part of the Title, " taken from the Map " etc. was struck out, and the fourth line
filled by inserting, after "Canada," "& River St. Laurence." For this later issue, see
No. 3446. The (reduced) copy by an English engraver, for the London edition of Colden's
History of the Five Nations, 1747, was made from an early impression. "lagara," as the
name appears on the plate of 1724, is " Oniagara," with the word "Falls" added, on the
corrected plate ; but the English map makes it " Jagara."

came from Bradford's press, and the fact is established beyond question by four pages of
commendatory verses prefixed to Reach's work, — " By a Friend in Commendation of these
Poems," signed " W. B." (William Bradford), and "To the Reader; in Vindication of
this Book" ( 30 lines) by " E. B." Is any other specimen of Mrs. ELIZABETH BRADFORD'S

copy has been lettered, by Mr. Ingraham or an earlier possessor, " London." If printed
in America, it certainly was printed by William Bradford, in New York, and must take
precedence as — the Laws excepted — the FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN NEW YORK.
The type is the same — or from the same matrices — as Bradford's. The internal evidence
that the volume came from Bradford's press it strong, and would be conclusive, were it not
for the occurrence of a very few Hebrew letters — perhaps a dozen, in all, — which I have
not found in any other volume printed by him.

their imprisoning Peter Boss, till Providence put the Government into the hands of Coll.

" Well, to Tryal W. B. [Bradford] was brought. D. Lloyd pleaded hard against him,
the Jury had their Charge given by S. Jenings, out they went to try this Crime, but it
happening so, that there were one or two upon the Jury that were not Quakers, they stood
upon the Nicety (as some of their fellow-Jurors call'd it) of two Evidences, to prove that
W. B. printed said Appeal, which not appearing, after about 48 hours the Jury came into
Court, and told the Bench they were not like to agree. To whom A. Cook made this
learned speech, viv. "Well, seeing, Friends, that you are not like to agree, you are
absolved from your Test (Oath) and are discharged : and -we -will have another Jury that
shall agree, and find the Bill.'1'1 But before another Court, the Government was changed,
W. Bradford discharged from his Imprisonment, and they disappointed of executing the
Vengence which they intended " (pp. 85, 86).

Printer to their Majesties, King \ William & Queen Mary, 1694. folio.
With additional Acts bound in, to those passed by the General Assembly, Sept. and
Oct. 1708, inclusive.
That the FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN NEW YORK and the FIRST COLLEC
TION OF THE LAWS OF NEW YORK is a volume of SUPERLATIVE RARITY
"goes without saying."
The volume is in excellent preservation, LARGE and FINE, in old (but probably not the
original) binding. A former possessor has supplied a neat manuscript table of contents
of the additional laws (after p. 92) and has re-numbered the pages with a pen.
The irregularity of the pagination and signatures — with the occasional omission of a
law which had ceased to be of force, and the substitution of another in its place — renders
the giving of an accurate and intelligible collation of the volume almost impossible. The
printed Table of Contents prefixed to the volume shows that, as first made up, it ended
with the "Catalogue of Fees" established in September, 1693, at the end of which is the
colophon : " Printed and Sold by William Bradford, Printer to Their Majesties, | King
William and Queen Mary, at the Bible in New-York, 1693." The verso of this leaf is
blank. The three following leaves, containing Acts passed in 1694, seem to have been
added after the Table of Contents was printed. For so much of the volume, the collation
is tolerably plain: Title, i leaf (verso blk.); Table of Contents, i leaf; Acts, pp. 1-92
(sigs. A to Z 2), regular to p. 68 ; between pp. 68 and 69, An Act granting a Rate &c.
(Nov. 1692) i sheet, (pp. 1-4) is inserted; pp. 69-84, regular ; then " A Catalogue of Fees"
&c., pp. i-n + i blk (sigs. A-C) with the colophon, as above. To this follows sig. Z,
pp. 89-92. There is no sig. Y (pp. 85-88).
The additions, irregularly paged, are as follow: Acts of 4th Assembly, 2d Session (Oct.
1694) — misplaced by the binder — 4 pp. n. n.; 5th A., ist S. (Tune, 1695), PP- 101-106,
with colophon; — 2d Sess. (Oct. 1695 '•> mis-named "6th Assembly, ist Session," and mis
placed by binder), pp. 107-113 + 1 blk.; — 3d Sess., (Mch. 1696) 10 pp., n. n., with
colophon ; — 4th Sess. (Oct. 1696), 6 pp., n. n. ; — 5th Sess. (Mch. 1697) 5 pp. n. n. -f i blk. ;
7th Ass., ist Sess. [misprinted, 7th Sess.] Mch. 1699 to end of 4th [misprinted, 3d] Sess.,
Aug. 1701, pp. 119-176, — with 10 pp. irregularly numbered, between pp. 156 and 157
(bis); ist to 5th Sessions (Regno Annse), Oct. 1702 — June, 1705, pages 177-238 (and
233-238 repeated); and Sessions of June and Sept. 1706, and Sept. and Oct. 1708,
3o'pp! n. n.
This collation has been made with some care and is believed to be nearly correct ; but
the auctioneer will not guarantee its accuracy, leaving its revision and amendment to the
fortunate acquirer of the volume.

an Erratum, 2 pp. (verso of Y i and recto of Y 2).
I am indebted to Mr. Frederic D. Stone of the library of the Historical Society of Penn
sylvania, for the information that there were at least two issues of this edition. Mr. Brin-
ley's copy belongs to the earlier of the two. In the Psalter, as Bradford first printed it,
Psalms xii.-xvii. were omitted. The signatures are regular. Psalm xi. begins on verso of
R 2 and ends (with verse 8) on recto of R 3 — and is immediately followed by Psalm xviii.
When the omission was discovered, Bradford, it appears, supplied it, by printing the last
verse of Psalm xi., and Psalms xii.-xvii. in course, on a single leaf, to be inserted between
R 2 and R 3. This made the Psalter complete,— but left a doublet^ of Ps. xi. 8, at the
beginning of R 3. This extra leaf is inserted in one of the two copies belonging to the
Penn. Historical Society, the title-page of which differs in type and arrangement from that
of the earlier issue.

manuscript corrections of the text, which were probably made by Chief Justice Lloyd, who
is named on the title-page as the reviser of the translation. Ellis Pugh was a Quaker

pp. (4), 115. 4° Philadelphia, Reynier Jansen,.\>]Qo
EXTREMELY RARE. For Leeds's " News of a Trumpet " to which this is a reply,
see No. 3427.
In this Preface, the author gives some interesting information concerning Jansen and
his press. " The substance of this book " he says, " was wrote near two years ago, but
being backward in my self to appear in print, as also the press being long expected here
before it came, and when come taken up with other important matters intervening, occa
sioned the delay of its publication till now .... The chief occasion of there being so many
errours, was, that the Printer, being a man of another nation and language, as also not
bred to that employment, consequently something unexpert both in language and calling,
and the corrector's not being so frequently at hand as the case required," etc.
Leeds's book was printed by Bradford in New York, in 1697. Pusey's answer was
probably written the same year, — when there was no press in Philadelphia; and, after
this, the press was " long expected before it came." Thomas supposed (Hist, of Printing,
ii. 25) "that when Bradford removed to New York, in 1693, he left Jansen to manage a
press in Philadelphia." It seems certain, however, that the new press was not set up
before 1699. In that year were printed Jona. Dickinson's "God's Protecting Providence"
(No. 3390) and Samuel Jenings's "Truth Rescued" (No. 3401).

"An Extract of the Minutes of the Commission of the Synod, relating to the Affair of

The fourth tract is a rejoinder to Franklin's Defence of the "Observations" he wrote
for Mr. Hemphill, his minister. (See No. 3197.) When the latter was arraigned for
heresy Franklin " became his zealous partisan, and combated for him awhile with some
hopes of success ; " but " during the contest, an unlucky occurrence hurt his cause exceed
ingly." It was discovered that one of his best sermons had been borrowed from a printed
discourse of Dr. Foster's. " I stuck by him, however," — says Franklin ; " I rather
approved his giving us good sermons composed by others, than bad ones of his own
manufacture ; though the latter -was the practice of our common teachers." — Life (Sparks),
p. 126. The author of " Remarks upon the Defence " points out some of Mr. Hemphill's
plagiarisms — or unconscious appropriations : " His Sermon on Mark xvi. 10. was borrowed
(or rather stolen) from Dr. Clarke, an open Arian. His Sermons on Gal. vi. 15., on
Rom. viii. 18, and on Psal. xli. 4, from Clarke's assistant, Dr. Ibbots; and his Sermon on
Acts xxiv. 25, from Mr. Foster . . . Should our Ministry follow the Advice and imitate the
Example of this Rev. Plagiary, a small Degree of Learning would qualify them for this
sacred Trust, and a small Expense would supply them with Sermons to retail to their
Audience, with equal Applause from Sabbath to Sabbath." — p. 18.

provisions and other necessaries. By order of Lord Cornbury, the Hope was seized, and
the ship and cargo were condemned by a Court of Vice-Admiralty held at New Jersey,
and sold. On Budge's appeal to England, the High Court of Admiralty reversed the con
demnation and decreed restitution of the ship and cargo . . Before satisfaction was had,
Cornbury was removed from his government. Budge petitioned the House of Commons
for redress.

Charles Varlo " purchased the third part of a charter granted by King Charles the First,

West Jersey," and, in May, 1784, came to America "invested with proper power as gov
ernor to the Province of New Albion ; not doubting the enjoyment of his property." In
these volumes he has much to say of himself and the grant to Sir Edward Plowden, " Earl
of Albion" (Vol. I., pp. 11-16, 82-86, etc.), of agriculture, and of various other matters.
He visited Gen. Washington, at Mount Vernon, and gives an interesting account of
home-life there.

A duplicate from the Inner Temple Library, whose stamp is on the title and several

Purvis's Collection (1682) and the Williamsburg edition of 1733. Hening (Preface to
Statutes at Large, vol. I. pp. vi, vii,) alludes to the fact that thousands of the descendants
of Indians had been made Slaves, under a decision of the supreme court of Virginia, in
the belief that an Act of 1691, "For a Free Trade with Indians," — which he printed from
a manuscript copy, — was not passed before 1705. It is found, in its proper place, with
the Acts of 1691, in this volume (p. 160).

The first part of De Bry's Great Voyages, in the second (or a later) impression of the
second edition. In the engraved title, the space which in the first edition contains the
names of Wechel, T. de Bry, and Sig. Feirabend, with date of 1590, is left blank, that
part of the plate having, evidently, been covered, in printing: and the colophon is wanting,
the volume ending with the second leaf of the Index, of which the reverse is blank (without
the Errata). The plate of Adam and Eve is omitted. The 24 plates of Virginian subjects,
and the 5 plates of Picts, have the small numbers, and the number and endings of lines of
description agree with the last column of Sobolewski''s collation (see Sabin's Dictionary,
ill. 60, and Brunet, vol. I. col. 1317), except for plate xxn, which has 18 lines, the first
ending in " sepulturam" (as in an exceptional copy mentioned by Sobolewski). The
Narrative pages (preceding the Plates) are, as usual, discolored. The plates are, generally,
well preserved. The volume measures, on the page, 13! by 9§ inches. It is believed to
be complete, with the exceptions noted, but will be sold not subject to collation.

A GOOD COPY of this SCARCE book, in the ORIGINAL EDITION, CORRECTED. Like
the copy described in Mr. Sabin's bibliographical note (see the next number), two varieties
of paper are found in the volume, that used for sign. X and for part of the Appendix,
being slightly inferior to the rest, and somewhat discolored. In the title pages, both of
the History and the Appendix, the word "Virginia" is in Italic capitals, and the letters
are absolutely identical — even in their defects — with those in which the same word appears
in the title of Mercer's Abridgment of the Laws, printed by W. Parks in 1737 : and the
same typographical ornaments, made up in the same fashion, for page-heads and initial
letters, occur in these two volumes. But the collation does not agree with that of either
of the two editions described by Mr. Sabin. The error in page-number 104 (misprinted
410, in his copy) is corrected: sig. S is correctly paged, 257-272, and so on to the end of
sig. U, p. 304: but sig. X (on the inferior and yellowish paper) is mispaged, 295-310, and
the error runs on through sigs. Y and Z, to the end on recto of Z$, mispaged 331 (for 341),
as in the "edition " of 1753 ; moreover, this copy has "signature marks on pages 21 and
119;" the "line across the page, over the foot-note" on page 308, is omitted; and the
capital J, on page i. of the Appendix is in Italic — as in "the London edition" — though
this page of the Appendix is in the title-form, and on the sixth leaf of sig. Z, the type and
ornaments of which unmistakably mark it as from Parks's press. Sig. Aa (pp. 5-12) and
sigs. Cc and Dd (pp. 21-34) of the Appendix are on the same yellowish paper as sig. X.:
and the lines across the pages, over the foot-notes, are omitted on pp. 21 and 27, but retained
elsewhere.

This compactly-printed little volume must be VERY RARE. It seems nearly unknown
to bibliographers. The author, a French protestant, describes himself as a native of
Dauphiny and of the family of Durand. The object of the publication appears to have
been, to direct French emigration to Virginia. The last four pages are occupied with
"Propositions pour la Virginie," signed by Nicholas Hayward, London, May 39, 1687, for
" Messieurs les Proprietaires de la terre scitue6 proche la Comte de Stafford en Virginie . . et
de la ville qu'on a commence d' y batir, apel!6e Brenton," — for the encouragement of planters.

EXTREMELY RARE. So far as is known, the FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN

The first press in Charleston was set up in 1730, by Eleazer Phillips, who died the next
year ; and his successor, Tho. Whitmarsh, survived him only two years. Louis Timothee —
a French protestant refugee — who had been employed in Franklin's printing-office in
Philadelphia, removed to Charleston in the beginning of 1734, and was printer to the
government till his death in December, 1738. See THOMAS, n. 156, 157. This Report
does not appear in Haven's Catalogue of Ante- Revolutionary Publications — which names
no earlier Charleston imprint, and, in 1736, only the Laws, and a single folio sheet contain

as Light itself," says the writer, "that the Negroes are as essentially necessary to the cul
tivation of Georgia, as Axes, Hoes, or any other Utensil of Agriculture;" and "the
pretended Content and Satisfaction of the People of Ebenezer [the Salzburgers], without
Negroes, will plainly appear to be the Dictates of Spiritual Tyranny, and only the wretched
Acquiescence of People, who were in Truth, unacquainted with the Privilege of choosing
for themselves." — //. 8, 9.

desolation of the Colony," to the misrepresentations and mal -administration of Governor
Oglethorpe, and to the unwise restrictions imposed by him on the colonists — and "chiefly
the Denying the Use of Negroes, and persisting in such Denial after, by repeated Appli

Advantage with white Servants." . . "By these and many other such Hardships, the poor

This important and scarce collection comprises a narrative of the emigration of the per

miles from Savannah ; and of the progress of that colony, and other matters of interest to
the emigrants and to their friends in Europe, in the form of a Journal written by their two

protestant minister at Augsburg, by whom they were published, — with the addition of
many other papers relating to German Protestants in America, to the Indians and missionary

This exchange was under a cartel between Benedict Arnold and Capt. Geo. Forster.
" — Arnold stationed Bedel of New Hampshire, with about four hundred men and two
cannon, at the narrow pass of the Cedars. This pass was but fifteen leagues above
Montreal, and [Gen.] Thomas, at Sorel, was but as many leagues distant below . . . The
detachment from Detroit under Captain Forster, . . appeared in sight of the Cedars . .
Butterfield [to whom Bedel had abandoned the command] surrendered himself and his
garrison prisoners at discretion . . Arnold moved, to recover the captives, by force ; but as
the British officer declared that a massacre of the prisoners, 474 in number, would be the
inevitable consequence of an attack, he consented to obtain the release of them all, except
four captains who were retained as hostages, by promising the return of an equal number
of British prisoners. The engagement led to mutual criminations ; the justification of the
breach of one treaty by the neglect of another." — BANCROFT, Centen. Ed., v. 296.

At the time the letters of NOVANGLUS were first published (in the Boston Gazette,
between Dec., 1774, and April, 1775,) and until after the publication of this revised edition
in 1819, Mr. Adams believed that he recognized in MASSACHUSETTENSIS his old friend
and correspondent, Jonathan Sewall. John Trumbull, who was studying law in Mr. Adams's
office when the first of these letters appeared, made a better guess at the authorship. In
the First Canto of " M'Fingal" (written in 1772), the tory 'Squire asks—
" Did not our Scribbler-gen'ral strain hard,
Our Massachusettensis Leonard'?
Scrawl ev'ry moment he could spare,
From cards, and barbers, and the fair ;
Show, clear as seen in noonday heavens,
You did not feel a single grievance ? "

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
First (No. 3931 ) was PRIVATELY PRINTED, in London in 1786, and is EXTREMELY
RARE. It is unnoticed by Rich, or by Sabin. The Second was " Printed for the Sub

published: though the caution against publication, which Mr. Adams had given, in the
prefixed "Advertisement," was omitted. The THIRD edition — the one contained in this
volume — has, in the Title, in place of " Printed for the Subscribers," the words : " Never
before Published"; and the imprint is: " New York, Printed by John Fenno, at his Office,
No. 9. Maiden Lane, 1789" (//. 64). This copy, which is clean and uncut, has lost an
inch from the head of the title, taking a line ("Twenty Six") and some letters of the
second line ("Letters"). A copy of the VERY RARE second (privately printed) edition
is laid in the -volume.

All these pieces, with the few exceptions noted, were printed in the year 1800. Those
marked with a star (*) are UNCUT. An obelisk (f ) shows that the Farewell Address is
appended to the Sermon or Oration. A double obelisk (t) marks those which are sepa
rately bound, or half-bound, in calf or morocco, neat. The bracketed titles in small type
are introduced only for the purpose of reference to bound volumes under other numbers
of the Catalogue.
As Dr. Hough's excellent "Bibliographical List" is in the hands of, or readily accessible
to every collector, it has not been thought necessary to give more than the briefest indica
tion of the titles. These are distinguished by bolder type, when the copy is the only
one known to Dr. Hough, or is one of only two referred to by him, in public or
private collections. The titles of some others, of less remarkable rarity, yet VERY SCARCE,
are printed in SMALL CAPITALS.
These Orations, etc., 170 in number (exclusive of the bracketed titles) are arranged in
eight parcels, Twenty in each, and one parcel (No. 4239), of Ten. The Auctioneers
RESERVE THE OPTION OF OFFERING THE ENTIRE COLLECTION, with, or without, the
three volumes of collected Orations, Nos. 4228, 4229, and 4230, IN ONE LOT, by the parcel,

sketch, was first published in the year 1798, in the Philadelphia Monthly Magazine;" and
is now " republished, accompanied with very considerable additions, and in a form more
convenient and agreeable." It was " the fullest History of the Life of the General which

The FIRST EDITION : RARE. As Condie's " Biographical Memoirs" were protected
by copyright, and Corry's offered free plunder to piratical publishers, a great number of
editions of it, and of chap-books manufactured from it, were printed in this country in the
first quarter of the century, — in very few of which, after the First, mention is made of the
author. The first sentence of the Life identifies these reprints : " In the history of man,

of the sect of the tribe of the tories, which are known by the name of ' The Washington
Benevolents ;' dedicated to " Corn-yield-us Cool-ledge." There is a Portrait on the Title-
page (after no known original, by an anonymous engraver). The preface is dated, October,
1813. In a burlesque "petition or prayer" to George III., said to have been adopted by
the federal leaders of the "Benevolents," a party nickname is introduced which has
generally been understood to be of more recent origin :
" What though the Pious SILVER GREYS
Once more have tried the storm to raise,
And bells have toll'd, and windows broke,
The people will not wear the yoke."
The quotation is at Dr. J. R. Bartlett's service for the next edition of his Dictionary of

PREFACE.
The Third Part of the catalogue of Mr. Brinley's library is now
offered to the public. It comprises 1717 lots, and about twenty-seven
hundred titles. A list of some of the rarest and most important
works, is subjoined. Among them will be found several volumes of
extraordinary rarity, any one of which would suffice to make the
approaching sale noteworthy in the annals of bibliography.
First of the first, by double right of primogeniture, stands (No. 5839)
the GUTENBERG or " MAZARINE " BIBLE, eldest-born of all the issue of
the press ; concerning which, see, in its place, a too-long note. Since
that note was in type an imperfect copy of the Gutenberg Old
Testament, only, has been sold at Sotheby's (Feb. i5th), for ^760.
Next to the first-printed book of the Old World may be named one
of the first books printed in the New (RIKEL, No. 5317) ; a volume as
fresh and bright as it came from Juan Cromberger's press, in Mexico,
in 1544, — a land-mark in typography, half-way from Gutenberg and
the First Bible, to Stephen Daye and the Bay Psalm Book of 1640.
Then follows, only a few years later, from "the house of Juan
Pablos," in the same city, the first edition of MOLINA'S Mexican
Dictionary (No. 5771); a book so rare that even the indefatigable
Ludewig doubted its existence, and of which only five extant copies
are known to bibliography.
Next, in order of time, is (5682) ELIOT'S INDIAN BIBLE, represented
not merely by a single or an ordinary copy, but by one of the first edition
and of the "Royal" type (with the Dedication), in its well-preserved
original binding ; a well-known copy, described seventeen years ago
as " the crowning glory " of Mr. John Allan's library : and two fine
copies of the revised second edition of 1680-85, one of which (5683)
formerly belonged to Gov. Stoughton of Massachusetts, the other to
Jonathan Edwards.
Rarer even than Eliot's, in either edition, is (5791) SAUR'S GERMAN
BIBLE of 1743, the First Bible printed in America in a European
language; and scarcely less rare (5800), its third edition, of 1776.
VI PREFACE.
Of other exceptional rarities, the two editions of BERNARD ROMANS'S
History of Florida (4365-6), and (5531) a copy — in fact two copies
of INCREASE MATHER'S Brief History of the War with the Indians,
Boston, 1676, will not escape the observation of book-lovers.
Like its predecessors, the Third Part of the catalogue will be found
rich in First Works and First Editions. Mr. Brinley's collection of
Bibles, for instance, though small in number of volumes, includes not
only the first printed Bible, and the first American edition (Eliot's),
but the first Pennsylvania (Saur's), the first New Jersey (5808), the
first New York (5809), the first Connecticut (5825), the first Quarto
and Folio (5809) editions • the first Greek Testament (5820), and the
first Hebrew Bible (5829) printed in this country ; and many of the
first editions of the Bible and parts of the Bible in various languages
of the American Indians.
The catalogue is not less rich in the extent and completeness of
special collections : such as that of American Biography and Personal
History, Nos. 5087-5302 (to be supplemented, hereafter, by more than
twelve hundred Pamphlets) ; of the Military and Naval History of the
United States, especially, the history of the last War with Great
Britain, 1812-14; of works relating to the American Indians, and
their Languages (among which the very rare Mexican imprints deserve
special mention) ; of early American Music ; and of American versions
of the Psalms, and Hymns (of which about a hundred volumes remain
to be catalogued in the Fourth Part) j and, not the least remarkable,
the collection of New-England Primers and Catechisms, which is,
probably, unequalled in any public or private library.
When the Second Part of this catalogue was published, last
spring, it was hoped that the Third and Fourth would be printed
before the end of the year. This was found to be impossible. The
general arrangement of the Fourth (and last) Part is completed, and
a portion of the copy is already in the hands of the printers. It \vill
comprise small collections in Law, Medicine, Agriculture, and other
Arts and Sciences, and Bibliography: and larger collections, on
Episcopacy and the history of the Episcopal Church in the United

A large and fine copy of this EXTREMELY RARE volume. " No copy has been found
with either of the whole-sheet Maps, and all are more or less deficient in the number of
Plates referred to in the title page. From the arrangement and tenor of the title, as well
as from the sense of the 'Advertisement' at the end of the volume, we are clearly of
opinion that it was the Author's design to distribute the ' twelve copper plates, and two
whole sheet maps,' throughout the two volumes into which he intended to divide the
work." — Menzies Catalogue, no. 1722.
The second volume was never published : and in copies of the work issued in 1776 (see
the following number) " Vol. I." disappears from the title-page. The copperplates were

These letters, first printed in the Boston " Federal Gazette," have sometimes been
attributed to Alexander Hamilton. They were written by the Hon. Uriah Tracy, U. S.
Senator from Connecticut, 1796-1807. They attracted the attention of Gen. Washington,
and excited his curiosity as to their authorship. In January, 1798, he wrote to Oliver
Wolcott : " Mr. Monroe, I am told, appears in a voluminous work ! . . A writer under the
signature of Scipio, will, I conceive, work him pretty well. Who is Scipio? 1 am
fishing for no secrets, but if the author is known, or conjectured on good grounds, I should
like to know who he is." Wolcott replied : " I have good grounds for believing Mr. Tracy
to be the author of ' Scipio ' ; but this is not, and I believe will not be generally known."

With the book-plate of the Emperor Maximilian ; no. 2667 of the Catalogue Andrade,
where it is described as a "volume D'UNE RARETE EXTRAORDINAIRE qui est regarde
comme le SECOND LIVRE impriml en Mexique. EXEMPLAIRE MAGNIFIQUE."
The copy is really " magnificent," — bright and clean as when it first came from the
press of Juan Cromberger, three hundred and thirty-six years ago — almost a hundred years
before the Bay Psalm Book was printed at Cambridge.
Its title to be reckoned the second book printed in America has been questioned, some
bibliographers maintaining that a press was established in Mexico as early as 1541, but as
to its EXTRAORDINARY RARITY— or the interest which attaches to it as ONE
OF THE EARLIEST PRODUCTIONS OF THE PRESS IN AMERICA, there
can be no difference of opinion.

5356 APES. A Son of the Forest. The Experience of Wm. Apes,
a Native of the Forest, comprising a Notice of the Pequod Tribe
of Indians. Written by himself, hf. bd. 18° New York, 1829
Apes was a humbug. He claimed to be " a descendant of one of the principal chiefs
of the Pequod Tribe so well known in that part of American history called King Philip's
War. This tribe inhabited a part of Connecticut and lived . . in the town of Groton, and
was commanded by King Philip." The story helps us to estimate the value of Indian
" tradition," so termed. The Pequod tribe was blotted out about forty years before "King
Philip's war," and neither King Philip nor his tribe (the Wampanoags) ever lived in or
near Connecticut. Apes had, probably, some Narragansett blood ; his father was a half-
breed, he says ; and he was born in Coleraine, Mass. He certainly was not a " Pequod."

The name of the author of this explication of the Dighton Rock inscription appears
only on the binding :" Dammartin. Pierre de Taunston. Paris." It seems to have been
written between 1840 and 1850. The author regards the inscribed rock, as "a fragment
of an oriental celestial planisphere, or as an astronomical theme for the 25th of December,
at midnight, the epoch of the winter solstice " ; and infers that it is "a monument of some
nation foreign to America."

5531 MATHER (INCREASE) A Brief History of the Warr With the
Indians in New-England, (From June 24, 1675, wn^n the first
English-man was murdered by the Indians, to August 12, 1676,
when Philip, alias Metacomet, the Principal Author and Beginner
of the Warr, was slain,) Wherein the Grounds, Beginning, and
Progress of the Warr, is summarily expressed. Together with a
Serious Exhortation to the Inhabitants of that Land. By Increase
Mather, Teacher of a Church of Christ, in Boston in New-
England . . . Narrative (2 copies) pp. (6), 51, (i blk.), Postcript, 8 ;
Exhortation, pp. (2), 26. 3 vols. sold as 2 vols.
sm. 4° Boston, John Foster over against the Sign of the Dove, 1676
These two imperfect copies of an EXCEEDINGLY RARE book, are offered, as they
were put together by Mr. Brinley to be sent to Mr. F. Bedford for binding, with the
following note : —
" One best copy to be made, which may be the largest, and cleanest (if possible) ; but at
least let it be genuine throughout. The Second copy [of the "Brief History"] to have
the missing portions replaced by careful facsimile, — the missing portions being a piece of
the title, pp. i^, 16, and a few words at the end. . I do not care about preserving any of
the MSS. notes, if a cleaner piece of work can be made by washing them off : but as they
are nearly contemporary, I think they cannot be successfully removed . . I rely more upon
the judgment of Mr. Bedford than I do upon my own . . . The " Serious Exhortation," is
mentioned in the title-page of the " History," but is rarely found with it. I wish to have
it bound uniform with the best copy of the ' History.'"
The larger copy of the " Brief History," formerly belonged to the Rev. Zechariah
Symmes, of Charlestown (Harv. Coll., 1657,) whose autograph is on the margin of p. i,
and the underscoring and marginal notes are doubtless his. This copy was interleaved by
the late Samuel G. Drake, and contains several manuscript notes in his hand.
The second best copy of the " History " is imperfect, as before mentioned ; but the last
page, of the " Postcript," with the Errata, is complete, and supplies the slight deficiency
of the other copy.
The " Serious Exhortation " is a GOOD COPY, complete throughout (except a name cut
from upper margin of Title) and is handsomely half bound, in black morocco.
The three volumes will be sold as two; enabling the purchaser to perfect, one copy of
one of the RAREST OF AMERICAN BOOKS, and, with the aid of the facsimilist and binder,
to secure a second complete and desirable copy of the " Brief History," — of which Mr.
Sabin {Dictionary, no. 46,640) observes that '•'•two copies only are known: Mr. Brinley's
and one in England." One of Mr. Brinley's copies was sold with the First Part of his
library, in 1879 (No. 948). In the hurried preparation of the Catalogue the other two were
overlooked.
5532 METCALF (Samuel L.) A Collection of some of the most
interesting Narratives of Indian Warfare in the West, containing
an Account of the Adventures of Col. Daniel Boone, . . . also, an
Account of the Manners and Customs of the Indians, etc. ; . .

Wilkinson, St. Clair, & Wayne, pp. 270, fine portrait of Boone

Metcalf's Collection has, (as Mr. Field observes) "become as rare as the works it
sought to preserve from oblivion. Every succeeding year brings with it an augmentation
of the price at which it is sold ... It will probably always preserve its rank among rare and
costly books." — Ind. Bibliography, p. 274. Mr. Brinley's copy (formerly E. D.
Ingraham's) is exceptionally large and fine, nearly UNCUT.
The FIRST EDITION of Gilbert's Narrative is scarcely less rare.

" Of this scarce book, very few copies are complete or in good condition . . . Most of the
copies lack the table of contents." The work " is considered by Western antiquarians the
best collection of frontier life and Indian warfare, that has been printed." — FIELD. This
copy (like the following, and three other copies I have seen in their original binding and in
good condition ) has no table of contents, and the make-up of the last signature — which
has four blank pages after the Advertisement — shows that the addition of this table, in
a portion of the edition, was an after-thought. " One of the best collections of narratives
of frontier life and Indian Warfare. It ranks favorably with ' Doddridge's Notes,' and is

adjoyning to South Carolina," begins on p. 252, — and doubtless is as authentic and

While the First Edition of Eliot's Bible is the more attractive to collectors of rare
Americana, and deserves the pre-eminence that is accorded to it, as a monument of early
American typography and as the first version of the Bible printed in the New World, it
should not be forgotten that, to students of the American languages and to the general
philologist, the Second is the more valuable ; and that all critical references to Eliot's version
are, or should be, made to this revised and corrected edition.

ary to the Abnakis. It is complete and well-preserved, though its pages bear traces of
long and frequent use. It formerly belonged to Dr. John Pickering, to whom it was
presented by Bishop (and Cardinal) Cheverus.
It contains " Priere du Matin, en Marichit," " Cantique," " Priere du Soir, en Caniba,"
" Priere avant la Confession," " Interrogation pour la Confession," " Prieres avant [et
apres] la Communion," " Catechisme," " Maniere de Baptiser," etc.
LANGUAGES. 133
The mission for which this manual was compiled included Indians of at least two tribes,
the Canibas, of whose principal dialect Rasles has given us a vocabulary, and the Etchemins
and Mareschites, on and near the St. John's River. " We read in the relations of the
Jesuits, that the Canibas, the Etchemins, and other Indians of different tribes lived
together in one village," under the instruction of the missionary Fathers (Maurault, Hist,
des Abenakis, 9); and it is not improbable that this manual contains translations made
early in the i;th century, and preserved in manuscript copies by successive missionaries.
*#* This will be sold -with the privilege of the following number (5695).
5695 — (MANUSCRIPT) Prieres des Sauvages Abnakis de St. Francois.
Legibly and neatly written, on 32 pages (7 by 3^ inches), clean and well-preserved. On
the first blank-leaf (of which only a portion remains) Mr. Brinley has written . " Purchased
at the sale of the Library of Hon. John Pickering, Boston, 1846. This MS. was presented
to Mr. Pickering by Bishop Cheverus."
The writing resembles that of the preceding volume and is probably by the same hand ;
but it shows that the writer has become more familiar both with the language and with the
pen. The character used by the French missionaries for on or English w (8) is employed,
and the nasals are marked as in Rasles's Dictionary, by h. In addition to the prayers
contained in the earlier manual, it has the Litanies of the Virgin, and of the Holy Name
of Jesus, the Psalms and Antiphons for Vespers, and the hymns "Lucis Creator" and
" Veni Creator."

EXTREMELY RARE. It may have been printed at the instance of the Rev. Dr. Eleazer
Wheelock, or by the Boston Commissioners of the (Scotch) Society for Propagating
Christian Knowledge, for the use of the missionaries and school-masters sent from New
England to the Six Nations.
Wm. Weyman was employed by Sir Wm. Johnson, in 1762, to print a new edition of
the Mohawk Prayer-Book, and began the work early in 1763, under the supervision of the
Rev. Dr. Barclay. Its progress was interrupted by the death of Dr. Barclay, in 1764, and
less than half the book was printed when Weyman died, in July, 1768. In the meantime
several missionaries had gone from. New England to the Six Nations ; Mr. Cornelius
Bennett, a catechist of the Episcopal church, was teaching school among the Mohawks in
1764: Mr. C. J. Smith (accompanied by young Joseph Brant) and the Rev. Samuel
Kirtland went, the same year, from Lebanon, as missionaries to the same field — sent by
the Boston Commissioners, and several others were preparing themselves at Lebanon for
this mission. This Prayer-Book and Catechism was probably printed for the use of these
missionaries and their Indian scholars. It seems to be a reprint, so far as it goes, of the
LANGUAGES.

A press was sent to the Sandwich Islands by the American Board of Comm'rs for
Foreign Missions, in November, 1827 : and among its first works was the completion
of the Hawaiian version of the New Testament of which the first part (the Four Gospels
and beginning of the Acts) had been printed at Rochester, in 1828 and '29.
This copy, unused and in nice condition, was presented to " Rev. T. H. Gallaudet, from
his friend, H[iram] Bingham, Oahu, Dec. 18, 1832."

THE GUTENBERG BIBLE.
THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED WITH TYPES.
5839 The BIBLE, in Latin ; with the prologue of Saint Jerome. The
First Edition. (SotUiC tyjJC \ hundreds of illuminated capital letters,
brilliantly colored and decorated, many of them heightened with gold.
2 vols. In the original binding, thick oak boards covered with stamped
calf, ornamented brass corners and center-pieces, with bosses ; many
leaves with uncut edges ; measuring 15^ by 1 1£ inches, on the leaf.
folio [MENTZ, JOANNES GUTENBERG, 1450-55?]
Without titlepages, pagination, or signatures: 641 leaves printed in double
columns, 42 lines to a full column ; the initials and rubrics, in manuscript,
throughout. The first volume contains 324 leaves, (of which one is in facsimile)
and ends with the Psalms; the second has 317 leaves (sixteen in facsimile).
A copy on vellum in the National Library in Paris, has at the end of the
second volume a note, that it was "illuminated, bound, and completed, on the
day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Aug. 15), 1456, by Henricus Albch,
alias Cremer."
" The honour of producing the first, and as many think, the most perfect book,
is now ascribed to Gutenberg alone, Fust not coming in for a share of the credit
of the invention until after his famous lawsuit in 1455, wnen tne Bible had been
finished. We call it, therefore, the GUTENBERG BIBLE, and have no sympathy
for any French name given to it simply because a copy found in a Paris library
had the honour of being described by a French bookseller." — H. STEVENS (in
Caxton Celebration Catalogue). It was formerly known as the "Mazarine
Bible," from the fact that the earliest published description of it, was based on a
copy discovered by DeBure, in the Mazarine Library.
" Some copies, which may be called a SECOND ISSUE, have 40 lines on each of
the first eight pages, forty-one on the ninth, and the rest forty-two. . In the later
issue, the three red lines at the beginning, are in type and not in manuscript, as
AND PARTS OF THE BIBLE. 153
in the 42 line issue." The distinctions between the two issues are pointed
out by Mr. B. Quaritch, in his description of the Perkins copy (priced, 3000
guineas,) in his General Catalogue, no. 17545. It may be added, that, in
the first volume of the Brinley copy, the beginning of the prologue to the
Pentateuch (recto of 4th leaf), of the book of Genesis (recto of 5th leaf), and the
title and finis (Incipit and Explicit} of each of the books from Genesis to Ruth,
inclusive, are rubricated in manuscript, not printed.
Mr. Brinley's copy was purchased in 1873, through the agency of Mr. H.
Stevens, in London. It had been discovered, a few years previously, in the
Archiv of the Predigerkirche of Erfurt. A very full and accurate description of
it was published in the Serapeum (Aug. I5th and 3ist, 1870; pp. 230, 241, ff.)
by Dr. Bruno Stiibel of Leipsic, who had the rare opportunity of collating "the
new-found forty-two-line copy " with two other copies, one from the Munich
Library, the other from the Library of Leipsic.
The Gutenberg Bible has, as Dibdin remarks in his description of Earl
Spencer's copy, been "justly praised for the strength and beauty of the paper,
the exactness of the register, the lustre of the ink, and the general splendor and
magnitude of the volumes." In Asher's announcement, in 1873, the Brinley
copy is claimed to be "the most beautiful of all known copies on paper. It is
not only the tallest, and almost uncut, but it is of remarkable^ freshness and
purity, and, though it has never been subjected to washing, is without the least
stain. . . One sees by the costliness of its binding and by the beauty of its
painted initials, heightened with gold and decorated in arabesques, that it was
intended for the library of some prince or great nobleman. This exceptional
excellence brought it ill fortune; for some barbarian, or crazed amateur, has
taken from it a few leaves, doubtless for the sake of their capital letters." By
extraordinary good luck some ancient paper was found, like that on which the
Bible was printed, and the missing leaves were reproduced in photolithographic
facsimile, with such success that it is not easy to distinguish them.
The copy is so nearly uncut that many of the manuscript cues for the rubri-
cator, are preserved at the extreme upper margins of the leaves.
Very few errors of the press have been discovered in this first edition of the
Bible. One, in Isaiah xxxvii. 20, "pona circulu ergo in auribus [for naribus}
tuis," has been noticed by Dibdin and Pettigrew. Another, in the beginning
of Psalm xxx. (xxxi. of the English Bible), has been corrected in the Brinley
copy, probably by the rubricator, by marking a caret in the text and writing
the omitted word "speravi" in the margin.
This is the first time — and it is not unlikely to be the last — that a copy of the
FIRST PRINTED BOOK is offered at public sale, in this country.
In 1769, a vellum copy brought, at the Gaignat sale, 2100 francs: in 1815, the
same copy, at the McCarthy-Reagh sale, was purchased by Mr. Grenville, for
6260 francs. Mr. Perkins's (vellum) copy, with two leaves in facsimile, was
bought by him in 1825, from Messrs, G. & W. Nicol, for £504: in 1873, ^ was
sold at £3,400. Of the best known paper copies, that belonging to the Duke of
Sussex was bought at Perry's sale, for £168; was sold in 1841, for £190; and
in 1858, at the Bishop of Cashel's sale, for £596. The Perkins copy — the only
one which came into the market for sixteen years after 1858 — was purchased at
Sir M. M. Sykes's sale, for £199.10; and was sold in 1873, for £2,690. At
every sale, the advance in price had been marked : and the commercial value of
copies has been at least quintupled in the last thirty years. What may it reach
in the next fifty ?

Pearl type. Title engraved, by L. Lucas, with " The names and order of all the Books,"

Field in 1653. — H. STEVENS, in Caxton Celebration Catalogue, no. 1127. The genuine
edition has some curious errors which have been corrected in the counterfeit : e. g. " Know
ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of God ?" — in i Cor. vi. 9 : "Neither
yield ye your members as instruments of righteousness unto sin," Rom. vi. 13 ; and the
famous error in Acts vi. 3, — "whom ye may appoint," etc., — for introducing which into
the text, it was rumored, " that Field received a present of £1500. from the Independents."
The fact is, however, that Field merely copied the error from an earlier edition printed
with the imprimatur of Archbishop Laud.

40 leaves, n. n. On the recto of the first leaf, an awesome woodcut of " The POPE,
or Man of Sin," fearfully and wonderfully made : on the reverse, the head of " King
George the Second," facing the Title. The familiar rhymes — from " In Adant's Fall | We
sinned all," to "Zaccheits he | Did climb the Tree | His Lord to see," — with their twenty-
four illustrative woodcuts, are on leaves 6 and 7. Mr. John Rogers burns at Smithfield,
" his Wife, with nine small Children, and one at her Breast, following him to the Stake,"
on the 1 6th leaf.
— The New-England Primer Improved. For the more easy
attaining the true reading of English. To which is added, The
Assembly of Divines, and Mr. Cotton's Catechism. Boston:
Printed for, and Sold by John Perkins, in Union- Street. 1768.
40 leaves, n. n. (A to E) in eights. Cotton's Catechism (entitled "Spiritual Milk for
American Babes. Drawn out of the Breasts of both Testaments") was printed in the
earliest editions of the Primer, but was omitted in that of 1737 : as was also "A Dialogue
between Christ, Youth and the Devil," which is restored in this edition. The copy
perhaps wants a leaf preceding the title.

Sigs. A to E8, in eights. A leaf preceding the title has, on the recto, the head of
"King George the Third Crown'd September 22d, 1761, Whom God long Preserve"; on
the reverse, "A Divine Song of Praise" by Dr. Watts. This edition agrees page for page
with that of 1 768, but is in larger type and on larger paper.

and sold by N. Cover ly, . . 1776.
40 leaves, n. n. (A to E8) in eights. On the first leaf, a head, which evidently was
intended for that of King George III., serves for " The Hon. John Hancock, Esquire."
In other respects, this is a reprint of the Primers of 1768 and 1770.
- The same. Boston : Printed by Edward Draper, . . and sold

40 leaves, n. n. (A. to E8) in eights. This differs in many respects from any of the
preceding editions. There are more woodcuts, some of which are copied from Isaiah
Thomas's " Royal Primer" of 1785. Mr. Cotton's Catechism is omitted. [The first two
leaves of the Westminster Catechism are misplaced by the binder.]
6 vols. sm. 16° (32°), elegantly bound in best levant brown morocco,
backs full-gilt, sides filleted and panel-gilt, with centre ornaments, g. e.

velvet, and lettered.
It is unnecessary to remark on the EXTREME RARITY of early editions of this
Primer, — which has been called " the little Bible of New England." The late Mr. George
Livermore, one of the most persevering and successful collectors of early Catechisms and
Primers, in one of a series of articles on the origin and history of the N. E. Primer
(published in 1849,) said: "I have not been able to find a copy of the work bearing an
earlier date than the year 1775 • • Nor have I seen a person who has seen a copy of an

— The New-England Primer Improved, etc. Boston: Printed
and sold by the Booksellers, 1784.
32 leaves, n. n. (A to D8) in eights. Follows the standard editions, but omits Mr.
Cotton's Catechism. On the first page a woodcut head of "General Washington," in an
oval, surrounded by military trophies.

This has little in common with the New England Primer, but may have been a more
attractive book to some of the boys and girls of its day. It contents "A short Scripture
Catechism," but not the Westminster Assembly's, nor Mr. Cotton's. There are woodcuts
of animals and birds, and in illustration of Bible stories ; and the cuts are far superior to
those in earlier editions of the N. E. Primer. It is probably a reprint of an English
primer.

Variety of Easy Lessons, for attaining the true reading of English.
40 leaves, n. n. (A and B, in twelves ; C, D, in eights^) Philadelphia,

No woodcuts, except one of the burning of John Rogers (in which, by the way, Mrs.
Rogers's "nine small children and one at her breast" may be fairly enumerated). A very
pretty edition.

unreasonable controversy about Singing by Note?" — HOOD'S Hist, of Music in N. E.,
p. 113. It is dedicated to the Second Church in Newbury, " of which the Rev. Mr. John
Tufts is Pastor." The Preface is dated, Bradford, Dec. 27, 1721.
On the last leaf is an advertisement of books sold by Samuel Gerrish, including " A

long 12° Boston, J. F\rankliri\, for S. Gerrish, 1721
This is believed to be the FIRST Music BOOK printed in this country. Coffin in his
Annals of Ne-wbury (p. 185) says it was first published in 1714. Hood (Hist, of Music
in N. £., p. 65) says, "about the year 1712;" but adds, that "having never seen this
work, he is unable to give any account of it, or its contents," having gained his only
knowledge of it "from its advertisement on the blank page of the Rev. Mr. Symmes's
discourse 'Concerning Prejudice in Matters of Religion,'" — which was published in 1722
(see, ante, No. 5882). The full title (or description) given in that advertisement, is : "A
very plain and easy Introduction to the Art of Singing Psalm Tunes ; With the Cantus or
Trebles of Twenty eight Psalm Tunes, contrived in such a manner as that the Learner
may attain the Skill of Singing them with the greatest ease and Speed imaginable. By
the Rev. Mr. John Tufts." On the same page is advertised " The Grounds and Rules of
Musick Explained," by the Rev. Thomas Walter (No. 5886). Both were "to be sold by
Samuel Gerrish."
This copy, though not quite complete, is in good condition, and retains half of its
original marbled wrapper. The Introduction occupies four pages, with the imprint (as
above) in colophon. The number of Tunes is sixteen. In printing them letters are used
upon the staff instead of notes; F, S, L, M, for Fa, Sol, La, Mi, (see Hood, p. 66.) The
Cantus (Treble) only is given. There are no bars, except for marking the end of the
lines and verses.

" The tunes are composed in three parts only ; and are made up of half and whole

1 6° Boston, N. Coverly, 1783
The reputed author of this volume, and the most prominent member of "the Presbytery
of the Eastward," was the Rev. John Murray, a native of Ireland, who was, for a short
time, pastor of the 2d Presb. Church in Philadelphia, and subsequently removed to Booth-
bay, Me., where this Presbytery was formed. In 1781, he became the successor of the
Rev. Jona. Parsons, at Newburyport, Mass., where he died in 1793. Concerning his
earlier and later troubles, see Sprague's Presb. Annals, I. 50, note.
A committee of the Presbytery was appointed to draw up a "testimony against errors,"
this first part of which was formally approved by them, as certified (Windham, May 21,
I78.3,) by Simon Williams, Clerk.
The Introduction gives "an impartial survey of the present times." Attention is
directed to "the enormities of extravagance and sensuality. . The vanity of fickle and
whimsical fashions, the monstrous deformities of dress, the luxury of the table and
equipage, the fondness for ill-timed diversions, for frolics, balls, and gaming-tables," etc.

"In the year 1807, Richard McNemar, formerly a man of eminence in the Revival, in
union with the Society, published a work entitled 'The Kentucky Revival.' It embraces,
with a plenary account of this revival, a partial exposition of the tenets of Shakerism.
Full of enthusiasm — full of fanaticism — withall, it breathes a little of the fire of native
genius. This work, with the exception of a small sheet published in 1785, by Elder
Joseph Meacham [JamesWhittaker], was THE FIRST by which the Society attempted to
defend or promulgate its doctrines." — HASKETT, Shakerism Unmasked, p. 125.

following editions were known to Mr. Sabin.

These volumes are among the curiosities of American literature. They were ilhistrated,
put in type, printed (in small editions), and bormd, by the author. The woodcuts are
certainly remarkable, but it was scarcely kind in Mr. Sabin (Dictionary, iv. 477), to charac
terize them as "amusing for their absurdity."

of Dr. Johnson in the presidency of King's (Columbia) College, New York, and who was
driven from the college and the country by the patriots in 1775 — published this volume of
poems the year after he received his degree at Oxford. "It is not likely" — as Mr.
Duyckinck observes — " that he brought many copies of his Poems over for the ttse of the
students and the eyes of sober Dr. Johnson of Connecticut. . . The taste of the age
allowed publications then to gentlemen which the more delicate standard of the present
day would reject."

6869 Gloria Britannorum : or, The British Worthies. A Poem.
Being An Essay on the Characters of the Most Illustrious Persons
in Camp or Cabinet, since the Glorious Revolution to this present
Time. More Particularly, Of the present Ministry, etc., etc., pp. 30,
uncut, scribbling on title and two or three pages, hf. crimped red morocco,
gilt. 8° Boston, J. FRANKLIN, 1723
VERY RARE. For the full title, see SABIN'S Dictionary, no. 27586. After invoking
the Muses, the author addresses
" — You bright sons of Harvard, where the Nine
And Great Apollo consecrate their Shrine,
For Wisdom fam'd, the rude Attempt excuse ;
Accept an Off 'ring from an Infant Muse,
That in Advent'rous Numbers, first would Sing
The Fam'd NASSAU, the Great, the Warlike King."
The general tone and spirit of the poem seem to indicate that the author was a native
of England, not yet thoroughly at home in the land of his adoption : and I am strongly
inclined to attribute it to FRANCIS KNAPP of Watertown, Mass., — son of a captain in the
British navy, — a graduate of St. John's college, Oxford, whose poetical address "to Mr.
Pope, on his Windsor Forest," dated June 7, 1715, "announce a man of wit and taste."

3000 years from the Grecian Olympiads, and 4800 from recorded knowledge in the Chinese
tables of eclipses, beyond which chronology is lost in fable." The " Apocalypse of

Of the three editions of The Fall of British Tyranny, one (Pi evidence) was unknown

and probably before that time, . . . and had, previously . . worked in the printing house of
Sarah Goddard and Company at Providence/' It appears that he afterwards returned
to Providence, and was located "on the West Side of the Great Bridge."

" Slaves in Algiers " was Mrs. Rowson's " first dramatic effort ; " and at its performance
she played the leading part, Olivia.
In " New Spain," first performed at the Haymarket, July 16, 1790, the part of Alkmonoak
(sic), played by Mr. Bannister, includes the song (p. 53) which subsequently became so
popular in England and in this country, as " The Indian's Deathsong " or " Alknomook : "
" The sun sets in night and the stars shun the day,
But glory remains when their lights fade away," etc.
This song was very generally attributed to Philip Freneau, and was printed as his in
Carey's American Museum, in 1787. Chambers — and afterwards Duyckinck (Cycl. Am.
Lit., i. 341) — showed that it was included in the collected poems of Mrs. John Hunter,
published in 1806. Who wrote this play of " New Spain " ? Was the part of "Alkmonoak"
conceived for and fitted to the " Death Song " — or was the song written for the part ?
The epilogue to " The Widow of Malabar" was composed, jointly, by Col. David Hum
phreys and John Trumbull (" McFingal 'M, — the latter contributing 36 of the 78 lines ; not
by Trumbull solely, as Dunlap and Duyckinck have stated. This translation of the play
(by Miss Starke) was substituted for the one by Humphreys which was played in Phila
delphia in 1790, and for which the epilogue was written.

Colman : as performed at the N. Y. Theatre, uncut. New York,

The title of the " Real and Genuine" School for Scandal is explained by the fact that
the title and the dramatis persons of the play had been borrowed for a political satire,
which was reprinted in Philadelphia in 1779 (see No. 7046). Sheridan's play was first
performed, May 8, 1777: and, according to (Bohn's) Lowndes, was "first printed, Dublin,
1785," which was three years after BeWs edition was published.

Songster and Nurse of Wit and Humour, Master William Shakes
peare. Embellished with Cuts, and illustrated with Notes and
Maxims, Historical, Philosophical, and Critical,] //. 94, many
wood-cuts, wants title. 32° [Worcester, Is. Thomas, 1786]
An EXTREMELY RARE and highly interesting little volume. Unfortunately, it has
lost the title-leaf. In other respect it is in good condition. The title, as above, appears
on the last leaf, in a list of books for children published by Isaiah Thomas, and it is found
in a similar list at the end of " Goody Two Shoes," and others of the series, printed in
1786 and 1787.
It was doubtless a reprint of an English edition. I can hardly believe that it has
escaped the bibliographers — and especially, the bibliographers of SHAKSPERIANA, — yet
I have not succeeded in finding any mention of " Mother Goose's Melody. Part II.
Containing the Lullabies of Shakespear" which— has a separate (half) title, at p. 75.
There is a " Preface, by a very Great Writer of very Little Books," on the origin of
nursery rhymes, etc., with a page of music, the " March composed by King Henry the
Fifth," to which— as the "great writer" asserts — the French adapted the words, " There
was an old woman toss'd in a blanket," etc. The notes of the editor, and his (pretended)
extracts from learned authors, are very well done. "Patch on Prudence," VWinslow's
View of Bath," "Boyle," "Wickliffe," "Bentleyon the Sublime and Beautiful," are among
the commentators cited. Was the English edition Newbery's — and was the editor and
annotator Oliver Goldsmith ?

" How shall my Muse in proper Lines express
Our Northern Armies' Valour and Success ?
While I am writing, comes the joyful News
Which cheers my Heart; anew inspires my Muse.
Our three brave Armies at Montreal meet,
A Conquest of New-France they there compleat.
To GOD we owe the Triumphs of the Day ;
NEW-FRANCE submits to GEORGE'S gentle Sway!
May LEWIS, that proud Tyrant, never more
Bear any Rule upon the Northern Shoar ! "

time of the first publication of this Almanac, its popularity has steadily increased to the
present time. It commenced in 1793, witn 3>°°° copies ; at the 4oth year of its publication
it had increased to 110,000, at which time the author informed the writer that the supply
in no one year had been equal to the demand, and probably a half million of copies have
of late been annually sold." — M., in Boston Daily Transcript, Nov., 1865.

torn from the top of the 2$th leaf; uncut.
8° \_NEIV YORK. WILLIAM BRADFORD, 1697]
EXCESSIVELY RARE. The FIRST Almanac printed in New York. Its editor
and publisher, John Clapp, kept a house of entertainment "about two mile without the
City of New-York, at the place called the Bowry" which was " generally the bating place,
where Gentlemen take leave of their Friends going so long a Journey" as from New York
to Boston, in "a parting glass or two of generous Wine." Against the 24th of June, in
the calendar, he gives notice that "in commemoration of the feast of St. John Baptist
(& to keep up a happy union & lasting friendship, by the sweet harmony of good society)
a feast is held by the Johns of this City, at John Clapp^s in the Bowry, where any
Gentleman whose Christian name is John may find a hearty wellcome to joyn in consort
with his Namesakes."
In the " Epistle Dedicatory" to Governor Fletcher, Clapp says: —
" Being animated hereunto by some hints received from your Excellency, who wondering
that no Person in this Province did undertake to write an Almanack every Year, but must
be beholden to a stranger for one, This, I say (may it please your Excellency) put me
upon the work, and to run the venture of those many Censures that attends the Press in
matters of this or the like nature."
NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA ALMANACS. 171
" To the Kind Reader," he repeats, that " having little else to do, and finding this whole
Province beholding to a stranger for a New Almanack every year " he " did resolve to set
himself upon the Work," etc.
Opposite each page of the calendar, is a page of "Observations" on the month, in
verse. Remarks on Eclipses, with "a short discourse of those two glorious Bodies, the
Sun and Moon," occupy ten pages,— followed by a Table of the Kings of England, and a
rhymed chronology, in five pages. More interesting are "a Chronological Account of the
Domestic Occurrences, from the first settlement of this Province," and tables of the
"several Stages & Post-Roads from the City of New- York to Boston," and from New
York to Philadelphia, with the houses of entertainment.
A notice of this Almanac, with copies of the dedicatory epistle, provincial chronology,
etc., was communicated to Valentine's Manual for 1853, by " E. B. C.," to whom a copy —
evidently the same copy here described— had been loaned by an antiquarian friend.

Mrs. Veal, fresh from the spirit world, "recommended the perusal of Drelmcourt's
Book on Death," as "the best on the subject, ever wrote." Her recommendation "had
the effect of drawing attention to an otherwise unsaleable and neglected work. The
imposition was a bold one— perhaps the least defensible of all Defoe's inventions."

VERY RARE. The Kingdom of Basaruah is the kingdom of Man, or the Human
Race (" P"lesh and Spirit"). The author of this very curious allegory, in his address "to
the Reader," says : " It having pleased our Gracious King (in the year of our Redemption,
1701,) to send me into that part of Basartiah which lies toward the North of America, in
order to transact for his Majesty in some of his important Affairs in that Country, I ...
began to learn the Language," etc.
It was reprinted at Philadelphia, by Andrew Bradford, before 1724. I conjecture that
the first edition (1715) though " sold by the booksellers in Boston " was printed by William
Bradford at New York.

their Dwelling Houses at such a distance from the place of Publick Worship, that they
and their families cannot well attend it?" " Is not the depreciating the Bills of Publick
Credit matter of Provocation?" "Is it Lawfull to wear Long Hair?" — to which is
annexed the reverend author's " Thoughts concerning Periwigs " — " At what time of
[Saturday] Evening does the Sabbath begin ? " " Hooped Petticoats " are denounced, in
the final paragraph, as " plainly contrary to the Light of Nature." (Sec Tracts, No. 7838).

for Setting up Markets in Boston, imperfect. Boston, 1719. Nine
VERY RARE tracts, in one volume, old calf, with the autograph of
Timothy Green, the printer of Boston and New London. 16°
The tract on " Hoop Petticoats " deserves special notice. The object of the writer was
evidently to cast ridicule on the reverend divines who made a "case of conscience " of the
prevailing fashion and particularly on the Rev. Solomon Stoddard who in his "Answer to
some Case of Conscience " printed June 25th, 1 722 (see No. 7815) had arraigned " II DOPED
Petticoats," as " contrary to the Light of Nature" and having "something of Nakedness."
These two objections are urged and enforced by satirical argument and citations of texts
of scripture, by the author of this squib printed by Franklin — which is as well-done, of its
kind, as Defoe's " Shortest Way with the Dissenters." It may have been the work of
some member of that "Hell Fire Club" of free-thinkers whose essays, contributed to
Franklin's " New England Cotirant," led to his imprisonment and to the prohibition
by the General Court of his further publication of that newspaper. (See THOMAS, Hist,
of Printing, I. 215,218.) Or was it one the "short essays" which young Benjamin
Franklin began about this time, " privately, to compose " ?
This tract of 1722 is not mentioned in Haven's (Am. Antiq. Soc. ) Catalogue nor in
Sabin's Dictionary, but the former has the title under 1726, and the latter gives the same
date, in brackets. It was advertised as " first published and sold by the Printer," in the
Courant, April, 1726: see DRAKE'S Hist, of Boston, p. 583, note.

It is needless to re-affirm here the judgment pronounced by American librarians and
bibliographers, on Mr. Sabin's work — a monument, not less enduring because unfinished,
to his large knowledge, his conscientious research, his general accuracy, and his untiring
energy. None can assent more heartily than the present writer to the opinion expressed
SABIN TEKNAUX. 345
by Mr. Justin Winsor, that "its imperfections are inseparable from such a work," while
"its merits are positive, and no one can deal with the titles of Americana, as I have to a
considerable degree for years, without knowing the help it can afford, which is always
opportune and often great."

An Address "to the Reverend Clergy, and Gentlemen of New-England," signed by Mr.
Cox's Boston agent, G. Vatix, is prefixed to this Catalogue. It relates, chiefly, to "a

of the Boston traders "to prejudice Mr. Cox in his business and also in his personal

PREFACE.
HPHE fifth and last portion of the American library of the late Mr. George
Brinley, after a long delay occasioned by causes beyond the control of
the administrators, is now offered for sale.
While the present portion of the catalogue is less in extent, and perhaps in
richness of contents, than some of its predecessors, it will be found well worth
the careful perusal of all interested in this class of literature. In the depart
ment of local history it presents many treasures, as also in that of biography.
The extensive pamphlet collections here catalogued are of more than passing
interest, for example those of Fourth of July Orations, Fast and Thanksgiving
Sermons, Historical and Military Sermons and Addresses, etc.
In the section of Books Privately Printed will be found specimens of some
of the rarest of American private and restricted editions; while in that of
Newspapers and Periodicals are files and bound volumes which cannot be
duplicated in the market. Mr. Brinley was not a collector of maps, nor of
autographs ; but incidentally he came into possession of some very interesting
examples in each of these lines. For instance, note the UNIQUE MS.
CHARTS of Boston and New York Harbors described on p. 144, (Nos.
9316, 9317) and the fine collection of Revolutionary and other letters catalogued
on pp. 145-154, as well as many other autographs scattered through the cata
logue, as on p. 98.
In reviewing this series of catalogues now happily brought to a close, one
cannot repress his regret that the collector of this most noteworthy of Ameri
can libraries was not spared to complete it on the lines on which he had laid it
out and to enjoy its continued possession; nor, on the other hand, can one
adequately estimate the service rendered to the public and to the cause of
American history by one who, like Mr. Brinley, rescues from destruction and
oblivion the literary monuments and the "unconsidered trifles" of the infancy
of our nation, and puts them in the way of preservation and usefulness to all
coming time.

Wilkes's notes were made in minute but legible handwriting, with a fine-pointed pencil.
In the following extracts the penciled notes are included in brackets : Mr. Hollis — writes
Archdeacon Blackburn — was "a character of remarkable singularity and by no means
calculated for general imitation." — [" The EMILE of PATRIOTISM," suggests Wilkes.]
" Strange as it may seem, our patriot [most nobly , most wisely, most liberally, most
justly\ espoused the cause of the prerogative" — in the dispute concerning the royal
proclamation against exporting corn, in 1766... "He informs us, however, that...
when, in a visit to Mrs. Macaulay,the question, ' Whether evil may be committed to a great
sole public good ? ' being debated between them, he strenuously held the negative. Does
not this look as if he had changed his opinion ? " [" Not at all: for the Question is not in
point, since Lds. Cht. and Cmd. (Chatham and Camden) committed no ' Evil? "] /. 307.

" This interesting collection of periodical writings is of the greatest rarity. Thorpe, in
one of his Catalogues, states that a gentleman had assured him he could meet with but
one copy in his travels through Spain, for which he was asked upwards of .£30. It is
generally found defective, and copies vary to a considerable degree. The above copy is no
exception to this rule : it wants Nos. 303-4, in Vol. IX, which are very frequently absent.
Some Nos. have been omitted, while the pagination remains correct ; and sometimes there
are two with the same No., although the text runs on correctly. . . The periodical seems
to have been produced under great difficulties and discouragements : it was suppressed by
the Spanish government." — B. QUARITCH, Gen. Catalogue, 1880.
A i2th (and last) volume was published in 1794-5. Mr. Quaritch's copy of the 12 vols.

Opinion on the case, etc. (i vol., stitched. 2 pamphlets.)
Jean Gravier of New Orleans inherited land lying in front of the city in one of the
deltas of the Mississippi, known as the Batture Ste. Marie (or Jesuits' Batture). Edward
Livingston undertook to establish Gravier's claim, and was opposed by the city, the United
States, and Thos. Jefferson. " The Batture controversy may take rank with *wie most
striking of the logical or literary duels to which we are wont to refer long after their local
or temporary interest has died away, as specimens of learning, acuteness, raillery, or wit.
Livingston's answers to Jefferson are little inferior in their way to Bentley's reply to
Boyle, Porson's Letters to Travis, or ... Courier's pamphlets; and involve principles of
jurisprudence of universal application." (A. Hayward: Ed. Rev. v. 120.) The above is

It is hardly necessary to say that these SUPERLATIVELY FINE volumes are all
that typographic taste and art can express ; while this edition of the celebrated Epigram-
mata is in all respects the best (see Lowndes, et al.). Renouard, in his Cat. de la
Bibliotheque d'un Amateur (v. 2, p. 348) says that one of these four copies on vellum is
in the " Bibliotheque du Roi," and another in Lord Spencer's (the Althorp) collection.
There were many editions of the work, but it cost the author an expected inheritance,
and was in 1654 put on the Index Expurgatorius of the Roman church.

TWO UNIQUE AND VALUABLE CHARTS.
9316 Boston Harbour. Original water-colored chart, by Philip
Wells ; with soundings without and comings in, as taken by Capt.
John Fayrwether, Capt. Thomas Smith, Capt. Timothy Armitage,
Capt. Joseph Eldridge, Masters, and Philip Wells, employed for
the same by his Excellency Sir Edmund Andros, Knight, Captain
General and Governour of His Majesties Territory and Dominion
in New England in America. Size 17X22 inches. Scale one
mile to one inch.
"THE EARLIEST KNOWN CHART OF THE HARBOR." See Winsor, J.
Memorial History of Boston, Vol. ii. p. i. A note by J. Hammond Trumbull is there
given, from which the following passages are extracted : —
" The chart, which is very neatly drawn and colored, occupies about one foot square, on
a sheet measuring 21 inches by 19 inches. The shoals, banks and reefs are shaded in
colors, and single rocks and ledges are indicated by crosses. The soundings of the main
channels and passages between the harbor islands are marked in fathoms. The scale is
one inch to a mile.
" In the right-hand lower corner, under a scale of miles, is : ' By Philip Wells,' and
below, in smaller letters, ' M. Carroll,' — probably the signature of the draughtsman.
" The inscription fixes the date of the chart nearly, between the arrival of Andros in
December, 1686, and the revolution of April, 1689.
" Philip Wells had been Governor Dongan's surveyor in New York, and was one of the
commissioners appointed to run the line between that province and Connecticut, in 1684.
He made ' A Land Draught of New York Harbour,' which is also in Mr. Brinley's col
lection [See No. 9317], . . . drawn and lettered by the same hand and probably in the
same year as that of Boston harbor. The two were found together, in a parcel of the
' Penn Papers,' sold in London, by Mr. E. G. Allen, in 1871, the Boston map bringing
three guineas. It is numbered No. 281 in Allen's catalogue.
" Capt. John Fayerweather, who had served in the Indian war of 1675-76, and com
manded one of the Boston train-bands, was a prominent man in Boston before and after
the Usurpation. At the Revolution of April, 1689, he was appointed commander of the
Castle. Capt. Thomas Smith commanded the ' Jersey ' frigate in the Expedition against
the Eastern Indians, in 1704. Of Captains Armitage and Eldrige I know little more
than their names."
9317 New York Harbour. Original water-colored chart; a Land
Draught of New York Harbour, by Philip Wells. Size 17X22

..." I think I have not written you since the late desertion of Arnold. Was you ever
more astonished in your life ? A man high in reputation, and with the fairest prospects
of domestic happiness. The love of parade and the thirst for gold has proved his ruin.
How black, how despised, loved by none, and hated by all. Once his country's Idol, now
her horror. Curse on his folly, nay his villainy, and most of all his meanness. The latter
has been displayed in such dirty colours in his transactions at this post, as has not been
equalled in the history of man. All kind of private and public robbery has he pursued,
and accompanyed it, with such circumstances of littleness as shows him to be the basest
of mortals. I freely confess I had no conception notwithstanding the converse I have had
with mankind, that it was possible for human nature to arrive at such a degree of corrup
tion. The discovery has been very providential. Had these posts fallen into the enemies
hands, God knows what might have been the consequence. But I think little short of the
entire subjection of America. What a triumph to british pride ; and what a downfall to
American glory. Poor Congress what would have become of you ? . . . The General has
sent me to take command here ; but for how long a time I know not." . . .

of Boston that the last ship arrived, brings accounts that the difference is soon to be set
tled — but unless the Ministry is overset the dispute never will be settled. If we can
preserve our freedom and continue our connexion I should be very glad of it — but I had
rather continue in the field seven years than submit to their tyranical measures." . . .

been with him, farewell. He called me to him a few minutes before he swung off, and
expressed his Gratitude to me for my Civilities in such a way, and so chearfully bid me
