Near Fine. 2 volumes in one. 12mo 4.75 by 3" 12 by 7 cm. 4 240 20 4 216 26 pp. Above all else this is a beautifully painted vellum binding in the style of the Edwards of Halifax a family of bookbinders in the late 18th century who developed a process of producing painting on vellum or parchment. The painting would actually lie under the surface giving it a greater permanence as well as a subtle glassy aura. On the front of this particular binding is a lady in late Georgian attire playing an organ with a cherub at her side and a lute at her feet. The rear board has a tinted illustration of a castle in a park-like setting. The spine is divided into five compartments four of which have a lyre ornament. Gilt ornamental borders and other detail work add further refinement to the binding. This comes with a brown levant gilt folding case shaped like book octavo in size and with plush interior with resting compartment for book itself by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. The joints of the book are partly cracked. The first title page has some light soilage. There is a small tear partially repaired on pp 1/2 of the second work. The vellum has light soilage and wear. Front joint of box repaired. Some minor scuffs and rubbing along edges. Notwithstanding these issues the book remains a highly attractive work of book art. J. W. Parsham unknown

179121606Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1791. Fine Binding; Interior is Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. <br /> A SCARCE FEDERAL-ERA RELIGIOUS IMPRINT FROM THE WORKSHOP OF ISAIAH THOMAS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AMERICAN PRINTER OF THE LATE 18TH CENTURY.<br /> <br /> This 1791 Boston edition of Watts' seminal work was fundamental to American congregational singing reimagining the Hebrew Psalms for a contemporary Christian context. Despite internal flaws the book remains a tight square example of early American craftsmanship featuring the distinctive typography of the Thomas and Andrews partnership.<br /> <br /> KEY FEATURES<br /> Imprint: Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1791.

Interior is heavily toned throughout; title page has losses to the perimeter and the final six pages show evidence of an old dampstain. Lacking all blank preliminaries. Text remains clean and legible. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> Isaac Watts was the 'Father of English Hymnody' but his influence in the young United States was arguably even greater than in his native England. In the decades following the Revolution Watts' 'imitations' of the Psalms replaced the older rigid metrical versions like the Bay Psalm Book allowing American congregations to sing with a New Testament perspective. His work provided the soundtrack to the Second Great Awakening and remains the foundation of modern Protestant worship.<br /> <br /> This particular artifact matters because it was produced by Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer Andrews. Thomas was not just a printer; he was the primary historian of the American press. Books from his Boston office during the Federal Period 1788-1800 were the standard of excellence for a nation struggling to define its own cultural and religious identity.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Isaiah Thomas Early American Printing Hymnology Protestant Worship Federal Period Boston Biblical Paraphrase Hymnody Sacred Music American Imprint Christian Devotional Literature.
