VI Appleton 526. Here he reasons "One Reason of the Jews Hatred and Rejection of Christ was the Meanness of his Appearance in the World; they look'd for a Messiah who would appear in this World as a mighty Prince in the Pomp and Glories of this World and rescue them from the Subjection they were under to the Roman Government and put them in a State of great temporal and outward Prosperity. But Christ gave no Prospect or Promises of any such Thing." FIRST EDITION. Evans 5521. Not in Jenkins. Printed by Rogers and Fowle, for D. Henchman in Cornhill. unknown

177956131Providence: Southwick and Wheeler 1779. Folio broadsheet approx. 16" x 10" text in triple column beneath the running head; lower outside corners eroded with loss to the beginnings and/or ends of about ten lines about 20-25 words mostly on the recto; all else very good. With the ink signature of Theodore Foster 1752-1828 U.S. Senator from Rhode Island 1790-1803. Solomon Southwick had published the Mercury a newspaper in Newport until that town was occupied by the British in 1778. Southwick then buried his printing press and types and eventually sought safety in Providence. Once in Providence Southwick decided to continue to print however the only way he could supply himself with materials was through John Carter the owner of the Providence Gazette. Apparently there was a dispute between Carter and Southwick as to who would get to purchase the printing press and types left by the recently deceased John Waterman. This was the only printing press and type available because the British had seized all the printing materials that had been previously ordered. Apparently Carter purchased the press and sold it to Southwick on the condition that the press "should not be set up in town or used to oppose a friend in business who had served him in distress." At first Southwick started his business in Rehoboth Massachusetts but secured a one-half interest in printing for the state of Rhode Island. In March of 1779 in company with Bennett Wheeler he began to publish in Providence The American Journal and General Advertiser using the Updike house next to John Carter for their office. There was much bad feeling displayed by Carter at Southwick's alleged treachery and Carter printed a story in the Providence Gazette about the incident and Southwick printed a response to Carter. Carter soon printed his rebuttal to the charges that Southwick made and once again Southwick printed his answer. This rare printing was Southwick's answer to Carter's rebuttal. It takes up the entire front side of this broadsheet and one-and-one-half columns on the back. Also included on this rare broadsheet is a Full Pardon offered by General George Washington to all the deserters in the Army that wanted to come back but feared to do so because they thought that they would be severely punished. There is also news from Charleston about Colonel Campbell's expedition from Savannah to Augusta Georgia. Not found in OCLC; but apparently there are copies at Brown University and the R.I. Historical Society. Southwick and Wheeler unknown

'The Death of Abel' was originally written in German by Salomon Gessner and is translated here into English by Mrs. Collier. Gessner was a Swiss painter and poet.'The Life of Jesus Christ' was written by William Craig who was one of the ministers of Glasgow.'The Holy War' was written by John Bunyan who is best known for 'The Pilgrim's Progress'.Prior owner's ink inscription to the frontispiece of 'Death of Abel' 'See page 106'.

An English translation of Solomon Gessner's 'Tod Abels' or 'The Death of Abel.' The translator is not named but this is believed to be an unauthorized 1770 London printing of a version of Mary Collyer's much-reprinted 1761 English translation. Reference: ESTC No. T94316. ~KKK~ Gessner 1730 - 1788 was a Swiss painter and poet. Collected editions of Gessner's works were repeatedly published 2 vols 1777-1778 finally 2 vols. 1841 both at Zurich. J.L.Lowes notes that Mary Collyer's translation of the original was as common as Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe': 'No book of foreign growth has ever become so popular.' He goes on to say that 'Byron read it when he was eight years old and denied with a little too much emphasis its influence on his play 'Cain.' The influence is equally clear for Samuel Taylor Coleridge he maintains: 'The Wandering Jew and Cain together took possession of the astral body of an ancient Mariner.' In Lowes J.L.
