Brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. lxxxvii 423pp; viii 666pp 47pp. Tissue-guarded frontispiece illustration. Near fine. Exceptionally tight and bright second edition of this 1810 classic -- published as Volume V and VI in the "Archaeologia Americana" series in the "Transactions and Collection of the American Antiquarian Society" -- founded in 1812 by colonial printer publisher and author Thomas 1749-1831 the society's first president. This superlative copy bears a choice inscription and signature on Volume I's front flyleaf: "14 vii 61 / For Frank S. Hanlin Jr. / in celebration of his first / visit to the American / Antiquarian Society. / Marcus A. McCorison." McCorison 1926-2013 was the famed long-time "Grand Acquisitor" of the AAS its librarian then director and finally president and in 1970 he edited the Imprint Society's well-received third edition of Thomas's celebrated history which he based on this 1874 second edition.

Isaiah Thomas was born in Boston and apprenticed to printer Zechariah Fowle with whom he formed a partnership in 1770. They published the Massachusetts Spy but after three months Thomas continued the publication alone. The royal governor ordered the attorney general to prosecute Thomas for his Whig views but the grand jury refused to indict him. In 1774 Thomas published the Royal American Magazine for a short time. Three days before the Battle of Concord in which he participated Thomas moved his presses from Boston to Worcester. Thomas continued publication of the Massachusetts Spy there until 1802 with gaps from 1776 to 1778 and from 1786 to 1788; published and sold books; and built a paper mill and bindery. In 1802 he transferred the business to his son. From 1775 to 1803 Thomas published the New England Almanac which his son continued until 1819. In 1786 he was the first printer in the United States to use music type and in 1791 he printed a folio edition of the Bible and of Isaac Watts’ Psalms and Hymns. He began a project on the history of printing in 1808 and he published it in two volumes in 1810. His grandson published a second edition in 1874. In 1812 Thomas founded what became the American Antiquarian Society and he donated 8000 volumes from his collection and one of the most valuable files of newspapers in the country to the Society. On his death he bequeathed his entire library and collection of early American newspapers to the American Antiquarian Society. Isaiah Thomas unknown
