1773028953America 1773. Manuscript. Good. folio 5 ff. 163 5 pp. original manuscript bound in contemporary vellum front cover with title inked in early hand; binding darkened stained and rubbed with vellum cracked and peeling over spine. Sewing loosening; a number of leaves separated. Pages age-toned with minor offsetting edges of first few leaves tattered with the lower portion of title leaf chipped away. Apparently unpublished 18th century American manuscript dealing with natural religion the nature of prophecy and revelation and the definition of "real Christianity" vs. "Orthodoxy." The author seems to have been at least contemplating publication as a preliminary advertisement offers the usual disclaimer regarding a work "never intended. for the Eye of the Public" that might yet "accidentally fall into private Hands" of "Strangers." That advertisement is signed "W. D." with "America 1773." Supplied below in a slightly smaller finer lettering; text on p. 112 refers in passing to "this 28th Dec.r 1773." References to "modern" or current events are slim to nonexistent; but Liebnitz appears unfavorably. The author also cites more approvingly Drs. Clarke Sherlock and Burnet - along with "Machiavel" on the nature of governments. Gil Blas is mentioned as a history that might be viewed as truth by the credulous ages hence; Shaftesbury Voltaire and Locke are treated of in the last pages. The text is reasonably but not excessively erudite there are occasional forays into Greek and Latin; the work's tone is often combative with the author's negative opinions of much Jewish philosophy and doctrine bluntly expressed. <br /> books

188950236New York: John B. Alden 1889. 16mo. Staple-bound printed paper wrappers; 6-298pp ads. Marginal staining to upper margin of last three leaves else a tight clean respectable copy free of markings or excessive wear. One of hundreds if not thousands of nicely-produced but inexpensive books and booklets issued by populist publisher John Berry Alden whose "Publishing Revolution" of the 1880s developed the potential for high-volume low-priced books for the masses paving the way for such successors as Haldeman-Julius and Henry Altemus. Such publishers favored works that were out of copyright and by issuing titles under the guise of serial publications such as Alden's "Elzevir Library" here allowed mass-market publishers to take advantage of highly favorable postal rates for periodicals. Though issued in the hundreds of thousands Alden's publications were never intended for a bibliophile audience and tended not to survive - OCLC notes only a single location for this title for example PENN.
