This copy with the repeated inscription which reads "Henry Landis his book bought in Harrisburg January 20th 1818." With faults a very good copy of a scarce book. First edition reprinted in Harrisburg in 1822. John Wyeth was a Harrisburg printer who produced music and voice books for ministers and church groups during the first quarter of the 19th century. He was the first printer to use shape-note type in his books for the German religious community. In addition to printing for Rev. Isaac Gerhart he printed music books for James Doll and Johannes Rothbaust. Rev. Isaac Gerhart was a Reformed Minister of the Lykens Valley in Dauphin County Pennsylvania. "In addition to preaching administering the sacraments and conducting catechetical instructions Rev. Gerhart set about to improve church worship. He found a 'great defect' in the singing in those early churches. Since he had musical knowledge and talent he prepared a music book called Church Harmonia."

1890List01105Massachusetts 1890. Albumen and Silver Gelatin Prints 9 ¾ x 8 ¾ - 8 x 6 inches on larger mounts three with credits to Conant photographer one credited to Benjamin Freeman and one uncredited. Varying wear very good condition overall. Very Good. The Isaac Royall house in Medford which still exists as a museum is most notable for the existence of one of the only separate quarters for enslaved people to exist in Massachusetts. The house was used during the revolution after Isaac Royall Jr. fled to England and had several owners before the Daughters of the American Revolution turned it into a museum in 1898. Collected here are three photographs from the opening of the museum likely taken by Benjamin Howe Conant with Conant on rectos of two and the other matching an image currently on the museum’s site. Another larger albumen print shows the main house with a woman at the door likely from the 1880s. Perhaps most interesting is the fifth image taken by Benjamin Freeman of Somerville likely in the 1880s with the inscription “View from Slave illegible Showing House in right Driveway on left.†We find no other record of this image which features a well dressed couple in the midground and has retained excellent contrast. unknown

186014804Charleston: Evans & Cogswell 1860. 23 1 pp. Disbound light spotting and some pages tanned. Good. <br /> <br /> This 1860 Association Tract contrasts the New York Tribune's ugly distorted view of the South with the "cool-headed sensible unimpassioned" views of South Carolina's Senator Hammond. Tracing the intractable conflict between North and South to the country's birth the author asserts "It is a great mistake to assign the election of Lincoln as the CAUSE for a disruption of the Federal Government. It is but the occasion." Secession and a separate Southern slave-holding Confederacy are passionately urged. <br /> The last page unnumbered prints the 'Constitution of 1860 Association' whose purpose is "promoting resistance by the slaveholding States to the aggressions of the non-slaveholding States." This is one of two 1860 Charleston issues. <br /> III Turnbull 306 different imprint. Not in LCP. Evans & Cogswell unknown
