Crowninshield; Additional material signed in print John Heath I. Chauncey O.H. Perry. Oliver Hazard Perry 1785 – 1819 was an American naval commander born in Rhode Island. Oliver was the best-known and most prominent member of the Perry family naval dynasty and he was older brother of Commodore Matthew C. Perry. Perry served in the West Indies during the Quasi War of 1798–1800 against France in the Mediterranean during the Barbary Wars of 1801–1815 and in the Caribbean fighting piracy and the slave trade but is most noted for his heroic role in the War of 1812 during the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. For leading American forces in a decisive naval victory at the Battle of Lake Erie Perrry received a Congressional Gold Medal and the Thanks of Congress. For Perry the post-war years were marred by controversies. In 1815 he commanded Java in the Mediterranean during the Second Barbary War. While moored in Naples Perry slapped the commander of the ship's Marines Captain John Heath whom Perry considered incompetent and insubordinate. The ensuing court-martial found both men guilty but levied only mild reprimands. After the crew returned home Heath challenged Perry to a pistol duel which was fought on October 19 1817 on the same field in Weehawken New Jersey where Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton. Heath fired first and missed. Perry declined to return fire satisfying the Marine's honor. . Printed by E. De Krafft unknown

181211315New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare For Weller & Meeker Newark 1812. A New Edition Corrected. Hardcover. Fair. Full calf bottom board detached spine with two cracks cloth visible beneath the backstrip from an old repair boards quite worn 7 x 4 1/2 inches. "Matthias Baker's Book" in black ink on the ffep ink name stamp of the same above it. 1-299 1; 1-264; counted and complete. A couple of loosening signatures text is generally in good condition. The book begins with an extract of the Life of Isaac Watts from Johnson's Lives of the Poets. The hymnal has its own title page and page numbers the imprint is New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare 1812; as with the Psalms the title page has "A New Edition Corrected." Watts is printed as the author on the title page of the hymns but not on the Psalms although they are an adaptation of Watts nonetheless.This is Joel Barlow's revision of Watts approved by the Presbyterian Synod of New York and Philadelphia in 1787 and later printed without the Presbyterian name to broaden the customer base. It is also the "Corrected" Edition see Benson The American revisions of Watts's Psalms p. 15."A final series of editions of Barlow's revision needs mention. These began as early as 1812 and consist in each case of the Psalms and Hymns bound together in one volume each with its own title and each described as "corected." The constitutes the only variance in the title of the Psalms and there appears to be little variance in the text. The corrections are rather in the line of restorations of verses or even whole versions of Psalms as given by Watts but which Barlow had chosen to omit. In some editions a brief 'Life of Watts' is included." - Benson.With a signed provenance card from the music collection of A. Merril Smoak Jr. DWS. Printed by Lewis Deare, For Weller & Meeker, Newark hardcover
