From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" Inserted leaf from the Bible printed by Robert Aitken Philadelphia 1782 from Deuteronomy; and 8 illustrations. 34 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" printed for John Howell Books by the Grabhorn Press and containing an essay by Edwin Grabhorn on typography in America in 1776. This volume contains an original leaf from a copy of the Aitken Bible one of the most celebrated American bibles being the first complete English Bible printed in America. During the colonial era the monopoly on printing English bibles belonged to the Royal Printer and the colonies were supplied entirely with bibles printed in England. The only Bible printed in the British colonies in America was the famous Eliot Indian Bible in Algonquian issued in Cambridge in 1661-63 and reprinted in 1680-85. With the Revolution this monopoly naturally ended and the embargo on goods from England acted to create a shortage. Aitken a Philadelphia printer undertook the task producing the New Testament in 1781 and the Old Testament in 1782. On completion he petitioned the Continental Congress for their endorsement and received it in September 1782. Because of this official endorsement and the reasons behind its production the Aitken Bible is often referred to as "The Bible of the Revolution" Grabhorn Bibliography 131 Printed by Edwin & Robert Grabhorn for John Howell at the Sign of the Open Book unknown

183645154Philadelphia: Eugene Cummiskey 1836. Hardcover. 8vo. Full original calf with gilt spine lettering. 688pp 8pp 691pp. Good. Front and rear boards a solid very good though spine is rough and scuffed with "Holy Bible" black calf label half present; delicate front hinge strengthened with old but neat brown cloth tape to endpaper gutter; tight and clean text block occasionally age toned and mildly foxed mostly to preliminary leaves. A rustic but decent and handleable copy of this edition stereotyped by J. Howe and based on the fifth Dublin edition. Of great interest is the 8-page "Family Record" section between the Old and New Testaments blank leaves filled in most in brown ink some in pencil recording the family births deaths and marriages of the family of noted Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary sister Mary Aquin Martin 1860- who became Mother of the Convent and Academy of the Visitation in St. Louis by 1921. At one point the family records "Mary Martin Born Feb. 5th 1860" and elsewhere "Mary Martin entered Visitation Convent at St Louis December 17th 1878 professed March 19th 1881." This cloistered Roman Catholic women's order was founded in 1610 by St. Francis de Sales and St. Jane Francis de Chantal in Annecy France. Laid in loose are a fascinating small archive of family documents: Two additional "Family Record" pages apparently from a different Bible a fine 4¼" X 6½" heavy stock cabinet card St. Louis: F.W. Guerin Photographer on backstamp showing a young handwritten label at bottom "Sr. Mary Aquin Martin / Mary Martin 1877" likely misdated since she entered the convent the following year a superb half-length of the young novitiate in her habit; "Reward of Merit" card for her younger brother John H. Martin recorded in family record as born in 1862 as "left Dubuque for Butte City Montana April 9th 1885 Arrived there April 16th 1885" and died in 1890; two partly-printed 1876 "First Communion" cards for her younger brother James T. Martin recorded in family record as born in 1865 married in 1909 and died in 1919; 1883 "first holy communion" slip for her younger sister Laura Martin recorded in the family record as born in 1870 and also as entering the Visitation Convent on October 4th 1893; and lastly a printed funeral card for Irish-born reverend Michael O'Donnell who died at Pleasant Grove Iowa at age 28 in 1879. An acceptable copy of this uncommon Bible and with fascinating family history record and documents from the family of a notable member of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary.

179534103Germantown PA: Michael Billmeyer 1795. Hardcover. 16mo. Original full calf with metal clasps and straps present and functional. 537pp 5pp. Overall very good. Binding a bit edgeworn but attractive; front/rear flyleaves are replacements; text block moderately age toned with mild occasional foxing. Tight and nice second printing of this noted "New Testament" entirely in German first published in 1787 issued from the press of the well-known Philadelphia printer 1752-1837. The printing office/home in which this was printed still stands today; it was built in 1730 purchased by Billmeyer in 1789 and is supposedly the site from which George Washington directed his Continental Army forces in the Battle of Germantown. When Billmeyer and his father-in-law set up their Lutheran press in the 1780s they acquired the surviving equipment of the renowned Philadelphia printer Christopher Saur Jr. whose press the British had destroyed in 1777. The straps are perhaps not original but all brass clasp parts are original and handsome -- and it still clicks firmly closed. Despite mild wear an exceptional copy. Michael Billmeyer hardcover
