Jacob Cushing 1730-1809 was born in Shrewsbury Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard in 1748. He was ordained in Waltham Massachusetts and became the pastor there in 1752. During the Revolutionary War he served as scribe of the State Convention of the Clergy. Like some of his other sermons this is a somewhat scarce title however he did publish a number of sermons between 1764-1798. This is also appears to be an unusual copy as both Evans and Sabin indicate 39 pages in their listing but this copy has only 30. However the sermon winds down on page 30 and The End is clearly indicated on the bottom of the page. Unclear if there were any subsequent additional pages which would account for the difference.

This title is unique in Jacob's prolific output because it discusses civil and canon law at length. The mention of "civilians proctors clergy and gentlemen" in the subtitle is significant. Jacob though certainly interested in boosting sales by attracting the widest audience possible was an idealist who believed that widespread knowledge of the law would help create a more just society.

1824531York County Pennsylvania 1824. Oblong 12mo. 88 pp. Contemporary calf backed wall-paper covered boards; binding rubbed at edges with minor loss of paper and leather otherwise very good. Eichelberger's account book contains a list of expenses as well as income relating to the Eichelberger farm. Entries are organized chronologically and list the item received or service performed as well as the price paid for the item or service. Eichelberger listed prices in both dollars and pounds. Typical expenses include the hiring of farm hands food often dried pork county taxes and the digging of a well. Eichelberger records far more income than expenses. He sold a number of items including wheat apples beef rye and animal fat. Eichelberger provided board to a widow by the name of Miller. Perhaps the most interesting sources of Eichelberger's income are the animals he sold. Between 1806 and 1809 Eichelberger records the sale of 86 horses accounting for the vast majority of his income during those years. He also records the sale of a few steer sheep and hogs but never in quantities as great as the horses. Several pages of the book record Eichelberger's duties as the executor of the will of his father George Allen Eichelberger. These entries list the name of the beneficiary the amount of the estate granted them and the date on which the transaction took place. The final entry in the book which is chronologically out of place and dated 1807 records Eichelberger's activities following the death of his father such as traveling to Carlisle for the reading of the will and appraisal of the estate. Curiously the entries in which the estate is divided among the beneficiaries are dated between 1824 and 1825--seventeen years after the initial reading of the will. This hints at the protracted probate disputes and complications involved in executing a will in the early nineteenth century. Also of note in this book is the inexplicable changes in the way Eichelberger spelled his name. In the earliest entries of the book it is spelled "Echelberger" then appears as "Eichelberger" and finally beginning around 1810 appears as "Higleberger". While the record book mentions no place names other than Carlisle a prosperous farm family by the name of Eichelberger resided in York County Pennsylvania for many years in the eighteenth century. It is very likely that Jacob was a member of this Pennsylvania-German family. unknown books
