18215359New Haven Conn.: A. H. Maltby and Co. 1821. Hardcover. Good. Rare American imprint by a publisher active from about 1819-1850 who began publishing the Yale Literary Review; book first published in 1709. This title is often confused with a book published in 1836 in France by Baron von Holbach; Holbach's book is anti-organized religion and Trenchard's is not; Trenchard was a former Quaker who theorized that 'transports' etc. attributed to God are owing to natural causes. Title page mistakenly attributes this title to John Locke the reason for this is unknown; we found a list of books misattributed to Locke in a Locke bibliography but this is not on it.

18181710Philadephia: For the author 1818. Octavo-sized pamphlet x cm. 63 pages. FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION overall the Sixth Improved Edition. With an engraved frontispiece possibly by William Charles depicting a drunken rider felled by a low hanging branch. Thirteen woodcuts in the text by William Mason. The rare wrapper here with the front panel present only contains yet another woodcut likely also by Mason. A temperance tract by the famous Parson Weems inventor of the George Washington cherry tree incident. A series of well written cautionary tales often quite humorous. "As the wan countenance of the lust-worn harlot becomes still more dark and dismal at the sight of a young female fresh and blushing in all the charms of virgin innocence so does the soul of a filthy drunkard experience a quickened hell at the site of a gentleman well drest and breathing the cheerful air of cleanliness and sobriety." The pamphlet is worn with a small one-eighth inch hole in the engraved frontispiece and one page torn through the text due to a careless page separation. The illustrated wrapper panel is worn but the text and illustrations are unscathed. In all a decent survival. Shaw & Shoemaker 46749 MWA PPL; Hamilton 1019; Sabin 102467; American Imprints 46751.

Nevertheless the book went through many editions this edition not in Howes. With the bookplate of collector Charles R. Sanders on rear pastedown. unknown
