181055963Portsmouth N.H.: printed at the Oracle Office 1810. First edition 12mo pp. xi 2 134-148; bound without Physiognomy a Poem by Joseph Bartlett Portsmouth: printed by William Treadwell 1810 pp. 19 1; contemporary calf-backed marbled boards; last gathering extended; good and sound. It has been asumed by some including me that Physiognomy a Poem was issued with Aphorisms. The contemporary binding on this copy with no evidence of any removal belies that assumption. The book is dedicated "To all my enemies . I now most humbly supplicate that you would take this little volume into your malignant keeping I pray you to oppose it do all you can to destroy it . don't fear my anger or my vengeance be inattentive to my mortification and be regardless of my distress: I know your goodness your friendship and attachment and rest assured that your most vigorous opposition and your most virulent slander will be duly appreciated and receive the proper acknowledgment."

189457846Boston: B. B. Russell Co 1894. 8vo pp. 3 6-319 1; printed self-wrappers rear wrapper wanting; spine largely perished; stitching sound. Title page inscribed "with love and best wishes of the author." Originally published by J. Howard Brown Co. circa 1882 with the subtitle A story of the blighting curse of polygamy. "The practice of plural marriage commonly known as polygamy stirred intense controversy in postbellum America until 1890 when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints first officially abolished the practice. Elder Northfield's Home published by A. Jennie Bartlett in 1882 is both a staunchly antipolygamy novel and a call for the sentimental repatriation of polygamy's victims. Her book traces the fate of a virtuous and educated English immigrant woman Marion Wescott who marries a Mormon elder Henry Northfield. Shocked when her husband violates his promise not to take a second wife Marion attempts to flee during the night toddler son in her arms and pulling her worldly possessions in his toy wagon. She returns to her husband however and the balance of the novel traces the effects of polygamy on Marion Henry and their children; their eventual rejection of plural marriage; and their return to a normal and healthy family structure."
