Contemporary full leather binding, boards detached. Mildly XLib. NOTE: With two autograph ownerships of: Joseph Bloomfield (1753-1823), New Jersey lawyer, Revolutionary War soldier, judge, and political leader. He and his wife supported a variety of social causes, with Joseph serving as president of the first Society for the Abolition of Slavery, organized in Burlington, NJ in 1783. In 1789, he donated a small plot of land to house the Library Company of Burlington. Bloomfield served as Mayor of Burlington from 1795 to 1800, and he went on to serve as Governor of New Jersey from 1801 to 1802 and 1803 to 1812, then returned to military service as a Brigadier General in the War of 1812. After the war, he finished his political career as a U.S. Congressional Representative from 1817 to 1821. Biography of the undisputed King of Bath, which Newbery commissioned to one of his favorite writers, Oliver Goldsmith (though he goes unmentioned in this first edition). Richard Nash (1674-1762), English dandy, better known as "Beau Nash," was born at Swansea. He was descended from an old family of good position, but his father from straitened means had become partner in a glass business. Young Nash was educated at Carmarthen Grammar school and at Jesus College, Oxford. He obtained a commission in the army, which, however, he soon exchanged for the study of law at the Temple. Here among "wits and men of pleasure" he came to be accepted as an authority in regard to dress, manners and style. When the members of the Inns of Court entertained William III after his accession, Nash was chosen to conduct the pageant at the Middle Temple. This duty he performed so much to the satisfaction of the king that he was offered knighthood, but he declined the honor, unless accompanied by a pension. As the king did not take the hint, Nash found it necessary to turn gamester. The pursuit of his calling led him in 1705 to Bath, where he had the good fortune almost immediately to succeed Captain Webster as master of the ceremonies. His qualifications for such a position were unique, and under his authority reforms were introduced which rapidly secured to Bath a leading position as a fashionable watering-place. He drew up a new code of rules for the regulation of balls and assemblies, abolished the habit of wearing swords in places of public amusement and brought duelling into disrepute, induced gentlemen to adopt shoes and stockings in parades and assemblies instead of boots, reduced refractory chairmen to submission and civility, and introduced a tariff for lodgings. Through his exertions a handsome assembly-room was also erected, and the streets and public buildings were greatly improved. Nash adopted an outward state corresponding to his nominal dignity. He wore an immense white hat as a sign of office, and a dress adorned with rich embroidery, and drove in a chariot with six greys, laced lackeys and French horns. When the act of parliament against gambling was passed in 1745, he was deprived of an easy though uncertain means of subsistence, but the corporation afterwards granted him a pension of six score guineas a year, which, with the sale of his snuff-boxes and other trinkets, enabled him to support a certain faded splendour till his death. He was honored with a public funeral at the expense of the town. Notwithstanding his vanity and impertinence, the tact, energy and superficial cleverness of Nash won him the patronage and notice of the great. He was a man of strong personality, and considerably more able than Beau Brummell, whose prototype he was. First edition with all of the correct points. Rothschild 1022; Tinker 1093.

Boards mildly soiled and worn around the edges. Spine darkened, gilt faded and spine worn at head and base. Corners bumped. Contents lightly foxed. Hardbound. A good copy of this rare edition. This anthology contains works by notable authors such as Orville Dewey, one of Wordsworth's American friends. Dewey's essay, 'Practical Hints on Reading', advocates reading as a means of improving the lower classes. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes 'A Sketch', juxtaposing a rich man, with an ornate, unread bible next to his bed, with a poor woman, with a well read penny edition of the bible. Too poor to buy wood, she and her children huddle together and read the bible, achieving a spiritual warmth. Once again, reading for spiritual improvement and consolation is emphasized. NW51
