Brownlow North Bishop of Winchester on the 12th of August 1802 by Special Licence at the Private Chapel at Winchester House Chelsea. . ." Very good. WITH A DOUBLE FORE-EDGE PAINTING of Philadelphia in 1790 and New York in 1820. The scene of Philadelphia shows churches buildings a harbor and shipping scene; on the reverse edge showing "New York" has various harbor buildings. Not signed; likely painted just prior to Leamington's owning this volume thus ca. 1953. The artist is not known. Often an American bookstore would import a volume acquired from an artist or a British bookstore. / Written in pencil "Dr. Carl J. Weber says no American scenes on double fore-edge paintings . . . Bot bought of Leamington Book Shop July '53. says this is the 3rd he has brought over." While a lot of time has passed one should never say "never" with regard to topics painted. The fact is that more and more paintings were painted and as that occurred the market was in America so scenes of American city views most being not so recognizable maybe became painted more and more as well. It largely depended on when the artists were painting and where they derived their commissions. Some artists were working independently of a bookstore or a binder and those painters also had their own patterns of what they painted frequently. Samuel Stevens not the artist here! was exactly that type of artist. / PROVENANCE: W. H. Battie-Wrightson Cusworth Yorkshire. William Wrightson 1752-1827 of Cusworth Hall Doncaster Yorkshire was a former member of Parliament 1784-1790; his son of the same name lived 1789-1879; it is unclear which person's bookplate the name refers. Brownlow North 1741-1820 former owner family member was appointed Bishop of Winchester in 1781. DNB. More recently a pencil note within the book indicates it was purchased from Leamington Book Shop July 1953. A bookseller's clipped catalogue description appears to be that of Leamington's Price: £18 10s. ca. 1953. A later pencil note 12/98 indicates this book was priced in December 1998 at $1600.

1831374628New York: Published by the Young Mens' Bible Society of New-York . M'Elrath & Bangs printers 1831. First edition. Text in English and Mohawk on facing pages. 197 1pp. 12mo. Library buckram. Foxing. Provenance: General Theological Seminary blindstamps bookplate and other markings. First edition. Text in English and Mohawk on facing pages. 197 1pp. 12mo. First edition of Hill's translation; the work was re-issued entirely in Mohawk in 1836. Named Kenweneshon by the wolf clan of the Mohawk Henry Aaron Hill d. 1834 was the son of David Hill and Christiana Brant the daughter of Joseph Brant. He served as interpreter at councils of the Six Nations and conducted services at the Mohawk chapel in Brantford. In the 1820s he began translating the gospels for publication.<br /> <br /> "Joseph Brant's Gospel of St Mark had been appended to an SPG Mohawk prayer-book printed in 1787 and John Norton's Gospel of St John had been published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1804. Despite adverse comments on the quality of the translation Norton encouraged by the SPG resumed the work of completing the gospels and he enlisted Hill's aid. But Norton was tiring of the task and thought that the Mohawks themselves would prefer English bibles. The American Bible Society discovered in 1823 that Hill with the support of John Brant Tekarihogen was already working on Luke and proposed that he complete the four gospels . Hill proved to be a diligent worker. His Luke appeared in 1828 the title page says 1827 but the printer in New York Azor Hoyt had much trouble in setting the work. Three hundred and fifty copies were sent to the Methodist mission on the Grand and fifty to Lower Canada. The Church of England holding aloof from association with dissenters in bible societies made little use of the translations done by its catechist. In turn the American Bible Society's interest waned. The York Auxiliary Bible Society formed in 1828 saw that some Mohawk scriptures were already available and began work on Ojibwa translations instead. The continued publication of Mohawk scriptures was therefore undertaken by the Young Men's Bible Society of New York an auxiliary to the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. Between 1831 and 1836 it sponsored translation of the rest of the New Testament with the exception of 2 Corinthians. The bulk of the work was done by Hill with corrections and completions Hill died in 1834 by Brantford merchant John Aston Wilkes Mohawk schoolmaster William Hess and Elizabeth Kerr née Brant. Hill's Isaiah finished by Hess was published by the American Bible Society in 1839 but that organization resisted pressure to proceed with the rest of the Old Testament. Hill was also the chief translator of a collection of psalms and hymns which went through separate printings for its Methodist and Anglican users" Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

1867711New York: American Bible Society 1867. 3/4 cloth. Very Good . 12 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches. Folio. 1 872 974 leaves. Printed in raised letters for the blind. Tears to upper margin of front endpapers and edges lightly soiled. Bound in contemporary 3/4 black leather and black cloth which is worn at edges. A scarce early American edition of its kind. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries several decades before the widespread adoption of Braille printers and educators in France and Britain began developing a variety of tactile reading systems for the visually impaired making independent reading among the blind possible for the first time in history. The results of an important competition at the Royal Society of Arts in Edinburgh in 1832 inspired the American activist Samuel Gridley Howe to research and develop his own embossed reading system for the blind which emerged in 1835 as "Boston Line Type." Drawing upon the methods of James Gall an entrant in the Edinburgh competition Howe created an alphabet of angular raised roman letters that "was said to be far less bulky and therefore less expensive than contemporary European roman-letter systems" PRINTING HISTORY p. 20. With the aid of a $1000 grant from the American Bible Society Howe purchased the first printing press for the New England Institution for the Education of the Blind today the Perkins School for the Blind and produced the country's first complete raised-letter Bible for the American Bible Society in 1842. The present Book of Psalms appears to have been printed with the first complete Howe-ABS Bible retaining the pagination of that production and was published separately with a new title page. ABS had published Selections of Psalms in 1835 and the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind a Psalms and Hymns in 1840 and 1848 this is a very early edition of the Psalms.
