Half brown leather over brown pebbled cloth gilt ruled and lettered spine with elaborate stamped panels and raised bands gilt edges b/w plates with tissue guards color fold-out map of Palestine. Moderate wear to covers and edges dampstain to frontispiece clean and soud otherwise with sturdy binding. 'This analysis was first prepared by 'a wealthy currier of England' Matthew Talbot and published about 1800. The material was arranged by subject in thirty Books divided into chapters and sections giving every verse in the Bible but once. The two indexes one really a table of contents the other alphabetical were inadequate. A plagiarized edition was published in 1848 by an Englishman named Whowell as Analogy of the Old and New Testament Systematically Classified. In 1853 came Nathaniel West's revision of Talbot's work in which there was little change except that West included twelve verses that Talbot had inadvertently omitted making a total of 31173 and added a Consulting Apparatus of nine tables and indexes — a great labor but of considerable practical value. A. J. Johnson bought the plates of the 1853 West edition from Scribner & Co. and asked Fred B. Perkins to see what they needed for improvement. He found many typographical errors and recommended a revision in view of more recent scholarship. The old plates were then scrapped and the Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary New York was employed to undertake a thorough revision. The work was completely recast the Books reduced from thirty to twenty-seven new indexes were provided and Cruden's Concordance newly set was added. Mr. Perkins and the Rev. George W. Sheldon of Union Theological also aided in the work. As copy they used the recent text of the American Bible Society. In regard to the accuracy of that text Mr. Perkins stated that he could find but one typographical error and that was a 'somewhat doubtful case of 'wrong font.'' More 'historical methods' were employed in this analysis the division into chapters was by 'thoughts' rather than by verses and cross references were used. The indexes and tables were reduced to four.' Margaret Hills The Bible In America §1868. A. J. Johnson hardcover

18533210249<p><em>8vo pp. 132; original grey cloth blocked in blind spine sunned; inscribed on front free endpaper 'Harriet Trivett July 1854.'</em></p><p>having one up to seven syllables uses a variety of easy to remember typographical ideas to differentiate sounds and adds a short section on grammatical terms abbreviations and synonyms etc.</p><p>We know very little of Thomas Carpenter but in an effort to place him in some sort of context we have been able to give an outline of his life and place in education during the first half of the nineteenth century. Carpenter was born in Blackwall then a village in Middlesex but soon subsumed into the East End of London. He taught at an academy at Barking in Essex from the 1790s into the early years of the nineteenth century as the town had a population of only 1500 people he may have been in charge of the Free School there which had at that time about 40 girls and boys. When Carpenter was at Barking he had published the first edition of his spelling assistant in 1796. Despite being poorly reviewed the work must have had something to recommend it for it became in time the standard spelling assistant for nearly a century. From the 1820s he supervised an academy at Ilford in Essex and latterly moved to Church Street in West Ham where to he continued to teach and edit new editions of gThe Scholar's Spelling Assistant.g until his death in 1852 at the age of 78. In 1798 he had married Martha Flint from Little Bromley in Essex and they had together at least six children with teaching remaining something of a family occupation with at least one daughter and a granddaughter becoming governess's.</p><p>There were several other associated titles published by Carpenter including gThe young scholar's manual of useful knowledgeg gThe new orthographical assistantg and gAn English vocabulary: in which the words are arranged indiscriminatelyg. His main work was however the most successful and soon reprinted in America Canada and Australia probably without permission. Later editions edited by others continued to appear after Carpenter's death until the early twentieth century. Despite the proliferation of editions each is now known to be recorded in just one or two surviving copies. Our edition is no exception to this rule with only a single copy located at the University of Oxford.</p> London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans; and Whittaker and Co.
