182754126Philadelphia: J. G. Ritter 1827. Hardcover. Good. Two parts thick octavo. VIII 1096; 328. Old Testament and Apocrypha paginated continuously; collective title page; New Testament with separate full title page. Text in two columns. Contemporary calf rubbed; spine with raised bands gilt title. Wear at spine cap some loss 3/4 inch at spine tail. Light dampstain at bottom margin; mild foxing throughout somewhat heavier at final 50 leaves. A good complete copy.<br /> <br /> Rare early nineteenth-century edition of the Bible in Luther's German translation published in Pennsylvania. Apart from the 1828 New Testament very few copies of any of the Luther Bible editions published by Johann Georg Ritter 1772-1840 at Philadelphia between 1826 and 1829 survive. In his 1893 pioneering work The First Century of German Printing in America Oswald Seidensticker locates no complete Luther Bibles and only two editions of the New Testament which were published by Ritter in 1826 304 pages and 1828 541 pages. These were of course often bound with the Old Testament along with their full title-page. The 1828 New Testament is the only portion of Ritter's biblical editions that is widely held in institutional libraries. Expanding upon the work of Seidensticker the editors of The first Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America 1989 assign only four Luther Bible editions Old and New Testaments bound together to Ritter one in 1827 and three in 1829. OCLC however locates Luther Bible editions published by Ritter in all four years between 1826 and 1829. A careful comparison of the paginations reveals that Ritter's Luther Bibles appeared in several variants. The 1827 edition was re-issued in 1829 as a "Zweyte Auflage" with 20 additional pages of preparatory material immediately preceding the Old Testament. Variants of the present edition also appeared in which the Apocrypha 160 pages was separately paginated. Some surviving copies lack the Apocrypha and only contain the 936 pages of the Old Testament. Our careful review of OCLC locates only sixteen surviving copies of Ritter's Luther Bibles containing both the Old and New Testaments published between 1826 and 1829. Twenty-four copies of the separately bound 1828 New Testament have survived as well. The only two copies of our 1827 edition have been located: the University of Waterloo and the Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek. The results of our census are appended below.<br /> <br /> Johann Georg Ritter appears to have begun his career in Reading Pennsylvania where he printed two German-language works for the firm of William M'Carty and Davis in Philadelphia: Geschichte des americanischen Kriegs von 1812 1817; Hoch-Deutsches reformirtes A B C-und Namen-Büchlein für Kinder welche anfangen zu lernen 1818. He later moved to Philadelphia and set up his own shop Der Deutsche-europäischen Buch- und Kunsthandlung. Sammlung religiöser deutscher Gesaenge which he edited along with J. G. Schmauk was published in 1824 and has been tentatively attributed to Ritter after his move to Philadelphia; Karl Rudolph Demme's Letzte ehre des Christlichen Predigers in einer Christlichen Gemeine Philadelphia 1825 is the earliest work to appear under his imprint. He catered chiefly to the German-speaking Reformed community with religious works sermons and elementary school texts. He briefly published in 1825 a periodical edited by Johann Carl Gossler Philadelphier Magazin für Freunde der deutschen Literatur in Amerika.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Stamp of Library of United Theological Seminary at title.

185176600New York: M. W. Dodd 1851. First edition. Octavo 71. 1 pp. plus one full page illustration of Kingsmill Group of Coral Island profiles and three smaller ones Publisher's printed beige wrappers spine abraded but holding strong two edge chips to front wrappers. A very clean and attractive copy.Luther Halsey Gulick b. 1828 grew up on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i but later graduated medical school in 1850 from New York University. He was ordained a minister in 1851 and soon set off for missionary work in Micronesia where he stayed until 1859. He returned to Hawaii in 1864 he served as head of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. His wife Louisa founded a female school in her home called the Kawaiaha o Seminary for Girls which later became part of the Mid-Pacific Institute. Soon the establishment was viewing Gulick as a bit too liberal as among other things he advocated the retirement of older white missionaries to be replaced by native Hawaiians. He also protested the labor system of sugarcane plantations in Hawaii viewing them as no different than the slavery that existed in the States. Gulick became editor of the Hawaiian language newspaper Ka Hoku Loa and then Ka Nupepa K oko a "the independent newspaper" which gave him a platform for attacking what he considered detrimental to the Hawaiian people; Catholic leanings and a government program to make the English language exclusive in the schools among others. He was relieved of his office in 1869 and spent the remaining years of his life as a itinerant missionary in Asia. M. W. Dodd unknown
