018643Moses Dawson had left Ireland late in life to escape political repression from England and already written a biography of Andrew Jackson which made him a founding father of the Jacksonian Party in Ohio. He began writing a biography of William Henry Harrison as he was running for Congress n 1823 which ended up a 464 page work. Here is a loan to Harrison in the amount of $140.70 in 1832. It may be for money promised Harrison for the sale of his book or since Harrison's political runs for Congress and a little later for the Presidency prefigured campaign war chests it may merely have been a veiled campaign donation. In case it is a nice copy measuring 8" x 3 3/4" with a few stains not obscuring the text. unknown books

WIKIPEDIA<br/>Moses B. Stuart an American biblical scholar was born in Wilton Connecticut. He graduated with highest honours at Yale in 1799; in 1802 he was admitted to the Connecticut bar and was appointed as a tutor at Yale where he remained for two years. In 1806 Stuart became the pastor of the Centre Congregational Church of New Haven being appointed professor of sacred literature in the Andover Theological Seminary in 1809.Here he succeeded Eliphalet Pearson 1752-1826 the first preceptor of the Phillips Andover Academy and in 1786-1806 professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages at Harvard. At this time he knew hardly more than elementary Hebrew and not much more Greek; in 1801-12 he prepared for the use of his students a Hebrew grammar which they copied day by day from his manuscript; in 1813 he printed his Grammar which appeared in an enlarged form with a copious syntax and praxis in 1821 and was republished in England by Dr Pusey in 1831. He gradually made the acquaintance of German works in hermeneutics first Johann Friedrich Schleusner Seiler and Gesenius and taught himself German arousing much suspicion and distrust among his colleagues by his unusual studies. However recognition soon followed partly as a result of his Letter to Dr Channing on the Subject of Religious Liberty 1830 but more largely through the growing favour shown to German philology and critical method. In 1848 he resigned his chair at Andover. Stuart died in Andover on January 4th 1852.Stuart has been called the father of exegetical studies in America. He contributed largely by his teaching to the renewal of foreign missionary zeal-of his 1500 students more than 100 became foreign missionaries among them such skilled translators as Adoniram Judson Elias Riggs and William G Schauffler. Stuart's 1850 book "Conscience and the Constitution" took the position that slavery is an institution allowed by the Bible but that as it was actually practiced in the United States slavery was morally wrong. Therefore there should be a voluntary emancipation of slaves by the Southern slave owners. Flag and Gould...Printers unknown books
