CARPENTER, ThomasBiblio.com

The Scholar's Spelling Assistant.

185332102498vo pp. 132; original grey cloth blocked in blind spine sunned; inscribed on front free endpaper 'Harriet Trivett July 1854.'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.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.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. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans; and Whittaker and Co.

The Trial of Col. Aaron Burr on an Indictment for Treason Before the Circuit Court of the United States held in Richmond Virginia May Term 1807: Including the Arguments and Decisions on all the Motions made during the Examination and Trial and on the Motion for an Attachment against Gen. Wilkinson. Taken in short-hand by T. Carpenter. Vols. I-III

Housed within a blue morocco clamshell box with gilt spine. "The rarest and best account of the trial" Eberstadt which made US legal history in its interpretations of treason and executive sovereignty. This elusive set almost always found without the third volume is Burr's own report and is crucial to understanding early democracy in America. Of especial relevance today as other high-profile American politicians face their own accusations of treason. "The most exciting trial held in this country during the first half of the nineteenth century." Graff Aaron Burr Jr. was an American politician businessman lawyer co-founder of the Bank of New York and Founding Father who served as Vice President during Jefferson's first term and more recently served as the foil in Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical Hamilton. How Burr came to be arrested in Alabama in 1807 is bizarre and byzantine but in brief: Burr was rejected by his own party the Democratic-Republicans for opposing Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election runoff in the House and then was shunned by the Federalists for killing Alexander Hamilton in a duel. Burr went West to seek better fortunes which included a rogue military adventure to seize lands belonging to Spain in Louisiana and Mexico with incentive given to the Western states to join his adventure. However Burr's longtime friend General James Wilkinson decided to abandon this dubious plan and inform the Feds instead. President Jefferson did not look kindly on his former Vice President's conspiracy to entice the Western states to leave the Union and join with him as he colonized new lands with the support of England. Jefferson alerted Congress and ordered Burr's arrest. Firm in his belief that Burr was a traitor Jefferson had him charged as such. Luckily for Burr Chief Justice John Marshall was Jefferson's longtime political foe and would preside at Burr's trial because he was also the federal judge for the US Circuit Court in Virginia. Burr was acquitted and fled for Europe. Cohen Bibliography of Early American Law 14091 14092. Eberstadt 134-68. Graff 506. Howes B1013. Sabin 9433. Tompkins Burr 18. Westcott & Co unknown
