183027865New York: John P. Haven.- Boston Perkins & Marvin.- Philadelphia Tower i.e. Towar J. & D.M. Hogan & Co.- Pittsburgh Pa. Hogan & Co. Flagg and Gould Printers Andover 1830. First edition. Removed. A very good copy with foxing to a few preliminary and concluding leaves. 70 pp. 8vo. An important document of the two-wine theory. Though Temperance reformers initially called for total abstinence from distilled liquor eventually the reasoning of the New Reformers led by the New York Temperance Society called for a total ban on wine since all intoxicating liquors were immoral. But the Bible appear to sanction the use of wine. In this essay Moses Stuart the first great Biblical scholar in America wrestles with the question for the first time. While he admits that the Bible allows for the use of pure wine he also shows that it strongly condemned intoxication. Wines of the nineteenth century were much stronger than Biblical wines and thus they would not meet with scriptural approval. Thus the Bible allowed for total abstinence. Sabin 93198. Amer.

Second edition revised. The second edition of the first Hebrew grammar published in the United Sates preceded by the 1829 edition which was also published in Andover by Flagg and Gould. A graduate of Yale University Moses Stuart 1780-1852 clergyman and Biblical scholar was called to the professorship of sacred literature at Andover Theological Seminary Andover Massachusetts where he was inaugurated 28 February 1810. "At that time there was probably no native-born American who knew enough Hebrew to teach it properly. He began at once to study Hebrew seriously and wrote a short Hebrew grammar which he circulated among his students in manuscript. In 1821 he imported a font of Hebrew type and printed a larger Hebrew grammar the first to appear in America. Since no compositor was able to handle it he had to set most of the type himself." - DAB.
