18431861Boston: Dutton & Wentworth 1843. Anonymous Doane George Washington<br /> “Puseyism†“No Popery.†Boston: Dutton & Wentworth 1843<br /> <br /> 9 x 5.25 inches 72 pp. Printed wrappers<br /> Front wrap moderately soiled and chipped with a brief contemporary numerical notation rear detached. Penciled “George Washington Doane†to last page which also has a two inch tear affecting a few sentences of text. Scattered foxing and stains. Good.<br /> <br /> An interesting treatise on Puseyism penned anonymously by the second bishop in the Episcopal Church for the Diocese of New Jersey.<br /> <br /> "Puseyism" refers to a theological movement within the Church of England specifically associated with the teachings of Edward Pusey advocating for a return to high church practices and rituals. This was seen as having a lean towards Catholicism. "No Popery" is a historical anti-Catholic slogan expressing strong opposition to the influence of the Catholic Church and was often used to criticize practices considered too Catholic-like.<br /> <br /> George Washington Doane was born in 1799 and served as bishop of New Jersey from 1832 to his death in 1859. In 1837 he founded St. Mary's Hall now Doane Academy to provide a classical education for girls. It was the first such boarding school for girls in the United States. In 1846 he founded Burlington College a school for boys. He also wrote well-known hymns and published a volume of poems Songs by the Way in 1824. <br /> <br /> In 1843 Doane published this anonymous booklet combining in the title the derogatory term for the movement with a traditional anti-Roman Catholic slogan used here out of context. An appendix p. 69-72 features “Mr. Perceval's Letter To the Editor of the Irish Ecclesiastical Journal†signed Arthur P. Perceval “Formerly of Oriel now of All Souls’ College Oxford†and an “Advertisement†at the front of the work identifies the Bishop of New Jersey as the author.<br /> <br /> OCLC shows 26 holdings predominantly at seminaries.

1851maltby1851<p>1851 hardcover from Silas Andrus. Condition is Very Good. Black blindstamped cloth shows minimal wear but some small splits at base of spine starting. This does not compromise integrity of binding which remains sound. Endpapers have pencil note of prior bookseller pencil note on last page occasional foxing and stains throughout and bookseller stamp of "Perry & Erety Philadelphia." Paginates: blank 1-104 blank. Many engravings in text. Complete as issued. Small format. Overall better condition than usually seen. This edition: OCLC: 2665946. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: Bibliographically this book is difficult so bear with me. James Fenimore Cooper wrote "The Spy A Tale of the Neutral Ground" in 1821; in 1828 H. L. Barnum wrote a biography of Enoch Crosby titled "The Spy Unmasked; Or Memoirs of Enoch Crosby Alias Harvey Birch The Hero of Mr. Cooper's Tale of the Neutral Ground." In 1831 a juvenile version of this story was published anonymously with most likely author being copyright holder A. H. Maltby which is what we have here. The Maltby version was issued by numerous publishers and pirates under various titles for decades creating confusion for dealers and collectors. More Notes: Turns out Enoch Crosby is a real person but Cooper denied he had ever heard of him see OCLC: 58670444. I am offering 3 different editions of the juvenile version and one of the Barnum. Feel free to inquire.</p> Silas Andrus and Son hardcover
