FOREWORD 


THIS  is  a  list  of  Rhode  Island  eighteenth-century  publi- 
cations. It  shows  what  the  printing  press  of  the  colony 
and  state  produced  before  the  year  1801,  and  where 
these  early  imprints  may  be  found  by  investigators.  The  list 
gives  a  brief  title  of  every  book,  pamphlet,  newspaper,  fly- 
sheet  and  broadside  printed  in  Rhode  Island  during  that 
period  which  has  been  found  in  the  public  and  private  libraries 
that  are  known  to  contain  material  relating  to  this  state. 
Other  titles,  of  which  the  originals  have  not  been  found,  have 
been  copied  from  the  "Bibliography  of  Newport"  compiled 
by  Charles  E.  Hammett,  Jun.,  and  published  in  1887;  from 
Charles  Evans's  "American  Bibliography,  1639-1789;"  from 
Joseph  Sabin's  "Dictionary  of  Books  relating  to  America, 
A-Sm;"  and  from  the  catalogues  of  booksellers  and  auction 
sales. 

The  list  was  prepared  by  the  John  Carter  Brown  Library 
as  part  of  an  effort  to  learn  what  material  is  available  for  the 
study  of  the  history  of  printing  in  America,  and  also  for 
the  purpose  of  securing  data  upon  which  to  base  an  estimate  of 
the  number  of  eighteenth-century  American  imprints  now  in 
existence. 

The  following  pages  contain  the  titles  of  1 565  separate  pub- 
lications printed  between  1727  and  1800.  The  regular  issues 
of  a  newspaper,  as  well  as  the  supplements  and  usually  the 
extra  issues,  are  counted  as  one  in  each  year.  Over  two-thirds 
of  the  whole  number,  1089,  are  in  the  library  of  the  Rhode  Is- 
land Historical  Society.  This  is  probably  a  larger  proportion 
of  the  early  typographic  output  of  a  single  state  than  exists  in 
any  other  collection.  Of  the  titles  not  in  the  Society's  library, 
143  are  elsewhere  in  Providence.  As  there  are  72  entries 
based  on  records,  of  which  no  original  copy  is  known  to  be  now 
in  existence,  these  figures  show  that  over  eighty-two  per  cent 
of  what  remains  of  eighteenth-century  Rhode  Island  printing 
is  accessible  in  its  original  form  in  this  city. 

Of  the  total  number  of  titles,  1125  date  from  before  the  year 
1790,  the  period  so  far  covered  by  Mr.  Evans's  invaluable 

[1] 


"  American  Bibliography."  Evans  gives  the  titles  of  808  Rhode 
Island  imprints,  or  about  seventy  per  cent  of  those  in  the 
present  list. 

The  concentration  of  this  material  in  a  single  building  is 
due  largely  to  the  generous  co-operation  of  those  who  are  in 
charge  of  the  other  libraries  in  Providence.  For  fifteen  years 
it  has  been  the  recognized  policy  of  the  librarians  of  this  city 
to  work  together  in  building  up  each  of  their  collections  in  cer- 
tain clearly  defined  fields,  and  to  avoid  all  possible  duplication 
of  material,  with  consequent  waste  of  resources.  With  only 
two  noticeable  exceptions,  where  the  wishes  of  donors  pre- 
vented this  policy  from  being  carried  out,  the  other  libraries 
have  systematically  contributed  to  the  Rhode  Island  Histori- 
cal Society  everything  that  would  help  to  make  that  institu- 
tion stronger  in  its  special  and  appropriate  field. 

In  return,  the  Society  has  helped  to  provide  every  library  in 
the  state  with  a  collection  of  books  on  Rhode  Island  history. 
It  has  contributed  also  from  its  accumulations  in  other  subjects 
not  so  properly  a  part  of  its  own  collection,  to  the  libraries  of 
Brown  University,  the  Providence  Athenaeum  and  Public  Li- 
brary, and  the  State  Library.  Quite  recently  it  has  arranged 
for  the  deposit  of  its  large  duplicate  collection  of  Rhode  Island 
newspapers  with  the  American  Antiquarian  Society  at  Worces- 
ter, assuring  for  this  state  a  prominent  representation  in  the 
principal  collection  of  American  newspapers.  To  the  Librarian 
of  that  Society,  Clarence  S.  Brigham,  the  Historical  Society 
is  indebted  more  than  to  anyone  else  for  the  comprehensive 
character  of  its  Rhode  Island  collection. 

So  large  a  proportion  of  these  titles  belong  to  the  Rhode  Is- 
land Historical  Society  that  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  lo- 
cate, in  this  printed  list,  other  copies  of  those  that  are  found 
in  that  collection.  The  nearest  rival  is  the  library  gathered 
by  Sidney  S.  Rider,  which  was  given  by  Marsden  J,  Perry  in 
1903  to  Brown  University,  where  it  occupies  a  room  in  the  John 
Hay  Library  building.  The  John  Carter  Brown  Library,  like- 
wise a  part  of  Brown  University,  also  possesses  many  of  these 
titles.  Many  others,  including  some  of  the  most  important 
ones  not  found  anywhere  else,  belong  to  Fred  A.  Arnold  of 
Providence.  This  list  is,  indeed,  largely  an  outgrowth  of  notes 
generously  loaned  by  Mr.  Arnold.     Many  of  the  Newport  im- 

[2] 


prints  belong  to  the  Newport  Historical  Society,  and  the  Red- 
wood Library  in  that  city  has  an  important  collection  of  early 
newspapers.  Several  important  broadsides  and  tracts  not 
found  elsewhere  are  in  the  George  Haile  Free  Library  at 
Warren,  the  Westerly  Public  Library,  and  in  the  collections 
of  Dr.  Roderick  Terry  of  Newport  and  Mr.  Henry  Russell 
Drowne  of  New  York. 

The  Rhode  Island  Historical  Society  and  the  John  Carter 
Brown  Library  are  under  deep  obligations  to  the  custodians  and 
owners  of  each  of  the  collections  mentioned  above,  and  to  those 
in  charge  of  the  other  libraries  and  archives  which  are  named  in 
the  list,  for  information  and  friendly  co-operation  without 
which  it  could  not  have  approached  its  present  comprehensive- 
ness. The  data  was  brought  together  by  Miss  Rebecca  P. 
Steere  of  the  John  Carter  Brown  Library,  and  to  her  its 
thoroughness  is  due. 

The  short-title,  printer's  name,  and  the  location  of  a  copy 
or  of  the  evidence  upon  which  it  is  included,  are  all  that  this 
list  aims  to  give.  No  attempt  is  made  to  show  the  size  of 
each  publication,  whether  a  folio  compilation  of  laws  or  a  three- 
page  political  manifesto.  An  exception  is  made  in  the  case  of 
broadsides,  which  include  everything  printed  on  one  side  only 
of  a  single  sheet.  One  reason  for  specifying  these  is  that  the 
John  Carter  Brown  Library  has  a  set  approaching  complete- 
ness of  photostat  prints  of  the  Rhode  Island  broadsides,  as 
well  as  of  many  of  the  separately  printed  Acts  of  Assembly 
and  some  other  smaller  publications.  The  same  library  also 
has  negatives  of  nearly  all  the  extant  copies  of  the  Newport 
Mercury,  issued  before  the  end  of  the  year  1776.  It  is  pre- 
pared to  furnish  copies  of  any  of  these  at  cost  to  students  or 
to  other  libraries. 

No  systematic  effort  has  been  made  to  discover  titles  of 
books  or  broadsides  which  were  probably,  or  in  some  cases 
certainly,  printed,  but  which  have  apparently  entirely  disap- 
peared. The  list  contains,  nevertheless,  a  number  of  these  titles 
of  publications  which  have  not  been  found  in  any  library. 
Most  of  these  are  taken  from  the  "  Schedules  "  of  proceedings 
of  the  General  Assembly.  The  Schedules  preserve  the  record 
of  payments  made  for  printing  several  proclamations  and 
separate  laws,  of  which  no  copies  have  been  found.     These 

[3] 


have  been  included  in  the  list,  so  far  as  they  have  been  noted, 
when  the  reference  seems  to  imply  a  separate  publication  and 
not  merely  the  insertion  of  the  document  in  the  printer's  news- 
paper. 

Other  titles  are  taken  from  the  advertisements  in  the  contem- 
porary newspapers  of  books  "just  published."  Most  of  the 
books  so  advertised  were  those  that  were  printed  elsewhere 
and  offered  for  sale  at  the  local  bookshop.  The  advertiser  did 
not  always  distinguish  clearly  between  the  things  printed  on 
his  own  press  and  those  which  he  imported  from  Boston  or 
Philadelphia.  Some  of  the  titles  in  Evans's  Bibliography, 
especially  those  ascribed  by  him  to  Bennett  Wheeler's  press, 
of  which  no  copies  have  been  found,  were  very  likely  not 
printed  in  Providence. 

The  Rhode  Island  printers  may  sometimes  have  produced 
books  which  do  not  appear  in  this  list  because  they  were  printed 
for  booksellers  elsewhere,  with  only  the  name  of  the  publisher 
on  the  title  page,  and  nothing  to  show  where  the  actual  print- 
ing was  done.  The  number  of  these  must  be  small,  but  there  is 
at  least  one,  a  "  F'ourth  Edition  "  of  the  Letters  of  Lady  Mary 
Montagu,  with  the  imprint  "New  York:  Printed  Mdcclxvi." 
This  book  seems  to  be  typographically  identical  with  one  which 
has  the  imprint :  "  Providence,  in  New-England  :  Printed  and 
sold  by  Sarah  Goddard,  and  Company.  M,dcc,lxvi."  It  is 
thought  that  this  was  printed  by  Mrs.  Goddard  for  the  New 
York  trade,  and  that  she  issued  a  few  copies  for  local  sale. 
Such  a  proceeding  would  probably  not  have  been  considered 
in  any  way  improper  at  that  time,  however  annoying  it  may 
prove  to  later  bibliographers. 

Necessarily  far  from  being  absolutely  complete,  this  list 
probably  includes  every  sort  of  thing  that  came  from  the 
colonial  printers,  which  was  intended  to  be  read.  It  does  not 
include  the  things  which  were  of  primary  importance  to  the 
printers  themselves,  because  they  went  furthest  toward  finding 
a  steady  sale  for  ready  money.  The  most  profitable  work 
done  by  the  early  presses,  with  the  possible  exception  of  the 
Almanacks,  was  the  printing  of  legal  and  commercial  blank- 
forms.  It  is  obviously  impossible  to  include  these  in  such  a 
list  as  this,  for  the  number  of  different  impressions  of  each  form, 
such  as  those  for  deeds  or  mortgages,  was  countless,  and  few 

[4] 


of  them  contain  the  printer's  name  or  date.  The  earliest  of 
these  forms  produced  by  James  Franklin  soon  after  he  set  up 
the  first  press  at  Newport,  may  be  recognized  with  consider- 
able certainty,  and  some  of  them  have  typographic  interest. 
Franklin's  son  produced  a  very  good-looking  portage  bill  for 
the  signatures  of  mariners  joining  a  voyage,  of  which  he  was 
apparently  proud,  for  he  put  his  name  on  it.  Solomon  South- 
wick  also  put  his  name  on  an  issue  of  these  important  mari- 
time documents,  as  may  be  seen  on  the  facsimile  of  one  which 
is  the  frontispiece  to  the  volume  on  Rhode  Island  Commerce 
published  by  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society.  For  the 
most  part,  however,  all  of  these  forms  were  printed  and  re- 
printed to  meet  the  demands  of  trade,  and  the  bulk  of  them 
are  without  interest  of  any  sort,  except  as  their  total  num- 
ber shows  how  the  printers  made  a  living. 

The  advertisement  at  the  end  of  the  Rev.  James  Honeyman's 
"  Faults  on  all  Sides,"  printed  at  Newport  in  1728,  concludes 
with  the  statement  that  "  Bonds,  Bills,  Powers  of  Attorney, 
Paper  by  the  Ream,  Snuff,  Tea  and  Coffee  by  the  Pound  or 
Ounce,  may  be  had  at  reasonable  Rates."  Every  printer  who 
established  his  press  in  a  new  community,  busied  himself  to 
provide  as  soon  as  possible  these  and  all  other  forms  for  which 
there  was  a  demand.  In  the  third  issue  of  his  "Providence 
Gazette,"  William  Goddard  announced  "to  be  sold  cheap  for 
ready  Money,  At  the  Printing-Office  near  the  Court-House 
(the  old  State  House  between  North  Main  and  Benefit  Streets), 
A  Variety  of  Books,  Stationary,  &c.  &c.  Among  which  are 

"  Blanks,  Policies  of  Insurance,  Portage  Bills,  Bills  of  Lading 
and  Sale,  Letters  of  Attorney,  Administration  Bonds,  com- 
mon Bonds,  Deeds,  Writs,  and  Executions,  and  all  Kinds  of 
Blanks  used  in  this  Colony,  neatly  printed,  and  sold  as  cheap 
as  at  any  Printing-Ofiice  in  New-England,  or  elsewhere ; 
either  Wholesale  or  Retail." 

Many  different  printings  of  these  various  forms  have  been 
noted  during  the  collection  of  the  data  for  this  list.  In  addi- 
tion to  those  advertised  by  the  printers  for  public  sale,  there 
were  blank  forms  for  apprenticeship,  colony  and  town  trea- 
surers' notes,  and  later  bank  notes,  bills  of  exchange,  clearance 
and  other  customs-house  papers,  deeds  of  sale,  military  com- 
missions, enlistment  papers,  regimental  and  company  returns 

[5] 


of  men,  arms  and  accoutrements,  bills  of  sale  for  shares  in 
privateers,  tavern  licenses,  and  tickets  for  the  long  succes- 
sion of  lotteries. 

Under  each  year,  beginning  about  the  middle  of  the  cen- 
tury, might  have  been  added  to  the  list  at  least  one  "  Prox  " 
or  ballot  for  the  general  officers  who  were  named  at  the  May 
session  of  the  Assembly.  Most  of  these  have  at  the  top  the 
sentiment  or  battle-cry  of  the  partisans  whose  leaders  are 
named  on  the  ballot,  and  a  few  of  them  were  dated.  Much 
research  will  be  necessary,  however,  before  they  can  all  be 
placed  in  order  with  certainty.  Those  which  contain  the  names 
of  the  successful  candidates  can  be  assigned  to  the  proper 
year  without  great  difficulty.  It  is  not  often  as  easy  to  be 
certain  of  the  year  in  which  those  were  circulated  that  con- 
tain names  which  were  not  chosen.  The  Rhode  Island  Histori- 
cal Society  possesses  a  large  proportion,  although  probably  not 
all,  of  these  old  election  proxies,  awaiting  the  attention  of  some 
investigator  into  the  political  byways  of  Colonial  times.
