Foxing and minor toning. <br> In 1721 Bailey published the first first monolingual English dictionaries to focus on defining words in common usage rather than just difficult words. Bailey's Dictionarium Britannicum 1730 and 1736 was the primary resource mined by Samuel Johnson for his Dictionary of the English Language 1755. The "Scott-Bailey" or "Bailey-Scott" dictionary contains relatively slight revisions by Scott but mostly plagiarizes Johnson's own dictionary. "The attempt of the Bailey proprietors to enter a folio to rival Johnson's great Dictionary remained alive through 1772 three years after Scott's death." See Starnes & Noyes chapt.

17871466Hartford 1787. Letter. Very good. In the fall of 1785 after Revolutionary War service Greene and family settled to Mulberry Grove in Chatham County Georgia near Savannah where land had been gifted from the State of Georgia and the Carolinas yet Nathanael's time there would be short -within one year Greene was dead. The children's tutor Phineas Miller took up the role of plantation manager. It is within this time period that this letter was written I have sent you the best assortment of garden seeds I am now able to procure - They are from a retailer who received them fput up mark'd and warranted from Col. Wadsworth's gardener. Col. Jeremiah Wadsworth was a friend of General Greenes. I intended to have had a larger assortment selected by himself but he went out to West Division early this morning with the intention of putting them up this evening and Capt. Sweet sails today so that I had no alternativebut to get them of the retailer - I have put on board a salmon for your family and Mrs. Ward with very particular directions to Capt. Sweet to take care of it and hope it may arrive good and prove agreeable - Please to present my most respectful compliments to the Governor and family and permit tme to to be Madam your Most Obedient and Very Humble Servant. -- Phins. Miller. In 1792 after passionate and active work on the part of the widow the crushing debt that General Greene amassed during the Revolutionary War was erased. In this same year Eli Whitney came aboard the plantation to assist. Within the year the cotton gin was fully developed. On March 14 1794 Whitney received a patent for the cotton gin - it was debuted on the plantation grounds. By some reports she was in partnership with Miller in the financial and logistical support of the process of patent and production of the gin. In an 1883 article in The North American Review titled "Woman as Inventor" the early feminist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage claimed that Mrs. Greene suggested to Whitney the use of a brush-like component which was instrumental in separating the seeds from the cotton. In 1796 Phineas and Catherine were married but Mulberry Grove would not outlast the duo. By 1798 it was sold and the Millers moved to Cumberland Island to land given to Gen. Greene. <br/><br/>Sheet folded with creaselines and wax seal. Foxing with no loss text clear to read. unknown books
