1794667471794. London : printed for T. Evans Paternoster Row and J. Stead at the Naval and Military Printing-Office Gosport 1794 8° 8 XX 170 pp. Halbledereinband d.Zt.; Rücken erneuert. Rare First Edition! "A treatise on the blood or general arrangement of many important facts relative to the vital fluid. With some cursory observations on the theory of animal heat. Interspersed with pathological and physiological remarks from the inductions of modern chemistry. By Hugh Moises surgeon of the Western Regiment of Middlesex Militia and Late Senior Pupil to the General Hospital Nottingham." "With the general acceptance of the Lavoisier-Crawford theory of animal heat as a resultant of respiration or slow combustion much of the subsequent search for the site of body heat production revolved about two questions. What happens to the inspired oxygen Or alternately where in the body was the carbonic acid first formed A subsidiary and often perplexing question asked at what temperatures the products of combustion carbonic acid and water actually could be formed The last question is of particular interest because the heats of combustion of carbon and hydrogen were utilized in the early nineteenth century attempts to establish the respiration theory of animal heat. Séguin citing Priestley and Bertholet had argued that these combustions could occur at ordinary body temperature. Hugh Moises in his Treatise on the Blod 1794 was equally emphatic : We know of no experiment which might authorize us to suppose that carbon can unite with oxygene in a temperature of 97°-99° or that hydrogene and oxygene air combine and form water in so low a temperature." "The early studies of this limited problem suggested solutions based on the ability of the different gases to cause the color changes observed in blood. Both Girtanner and Hassenfratz had attempted to show that venous blood became bright red upon the absorption of oxygen and thereby demonstrated their contention that the blood took up oxygen in the lungs. Another line of experimentation attempted to recover gases from the blood. Hugh Moises for instance confined arterial blood in bottles with gases containing no oxygen and claimed to find oxygen in the residue."

17970009109NEW FRANKFURT HARRISON CO. WEST VIRGINIA 1797. On offer is are two lovely and fascinating letters from a father and mother to their daughter detailing their situation mere weeks after moving to New Frankford Virginia. The letter is signed Moses Starr and Elizabeth Starr and addressed to their Dear Daughter. The first letter is dated November 17th 1797 and the second is dated December 23 1797. In the letters they describe their journey to their new home in West Virginia their home and their farm. They now live in New Frankfurt in Harrison County Simpsons Creek Eight Miles From Clarkburg. The first letter begins Dear Daughter we embrace this opportunity to wright to you informing thee that we are all in great haealth at present thanks bea to God for his tender Merceys to us ward from time to time. They write that they have we have had no letters from thee this two years.and have had no opertunity to send any. We long to see thee and hear from thee if thou art single write whether thou would incline to come upon and live with us we think of comeing Down within two years more; like wise let us know how our Relations are in them parts.The back of the letter is a short sermon like passage stating Dear child strive to ear and Love God who is able to Love the utmost oall that come to him through Jesus Christ the Redeeme of lost Man. The next letter begins with them writing that they have received her last letter which gave us some cause to rejoice of hearing from our relations in general but gave us concern of mind for the loss of Nelly Starr and the disolate state of Uncle Joseph. They then remark on the their life in what is now West Virginia. Thy mother was braught to be of a daughter the Eleventh of last month wich we call Polly. They speak of their journey to Virginia taking two weeks from when they left their home. The farming has been good a well reaping 200 bushals of Sound Corn and 150 bushals of Oats with a trifel of buck wheat. I have 20 acres of wheat and Ry in the ground this fall. The letter ends with the usual pleasantries and again is signed by Moses and Elizabeth Starr. The two letters are in fair shape both having a fair share of rips tears and discoloration. The first letter has some moth damage that affects the readability of a sentence or two. The second letter has its tears along the creases and edges but it does not affect the content at all. Neither does the discoloration on either letter though it is very noticeable it does not block out any words. The ink on both letters has faded the first more than the second but both letters are fairly easy to read throughout. These letters are an interesting little snapshot of a family life in 1790s Virginia representing a change in a brand new America and hope for a new setting in this burgeoning nation.

His father immigrated from Portugal to New York about 1730 and became a merchant. The family moved to Newport Rhode Island in 1765. Moses Seixas married Jochebed Levy in 1770 and they had eight children. He was one of the organizers and first cashier of the Bank of Rhode Island which conducted business in his house until 1818. After the British occupied Newport during the Revolutionary War Seixas remained in Newport but was among the signers of a document supporting the patriot cause. In 1790 he was the president of the Congregation Yeshuat Israel later Touro Synagogue in Newport. He was also a charter member and first grand master of St. John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons in Newport.</p><p><strong>William Channing</strong> 1751-1793 was born in Newport Rhode Island and graduated from the College of New Jersey Princeton in 1769. In 1773 he married Lucy Ellery daughter of William Ellery a Newport lawyer who signed the Declaration of Independence and they had nine children. Channing was elected Attorney General of Rhode Island in 1777 and when Rhode Island ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1790 Channing became the first federal District Attorney. One of his sons was the famous Unitarian preacher William Ellery Channing 1780-1742.</p><p><strong>Historical Background</strong></p><p>From 15 Sephardic families who arrived in 1658 Newport Rhode Island's Jewish community grew to be the largest in the colonies. Many Jews left during the Revolutionary War when Newport was occupied by the British. A significant number returned when the British left in 1779. By the time Rhode Island became a state there were approximately 300 Jews in the thriving Newport community.</p><p>Starting while on his way to New York to assume the presidency in April of 1789 George Washington received many messages from civic fraternal and religious organizations offering congratulations praise of his deeds in war peace and politics prayers on behalf of congregations or constituents. Washington's replies justly count among his most famous pronouncements setting a boldly inclusive tone that helped our new nation survive and expand.</p><p>After the first session of the first Congress Washington set out on a tour of the New England states except for Rhode Island which had yet to ratify the Constitution. It finally did so in May of 1790 and three days after the second session of Congress adjourned Washington Jefferson and others set out to visit Newport. On August 18 Washington and his entourage were greeted with four addresses written as open letters and read in a public ceremony. First the town then from all the Christian clergy then the Masonic order and finally from the Hebrew Congregation.</p><p>Moses Seixas on behalf of the Congregation Kahal Kadosh Yeshuat Israel congratulated Washington on his ascendancy to the Presidency. He invoked the language of the Revolution in arguing that Jews should be entitled to the same privileges as an American of any other religious denomination. Having been previously "deprived…of the invaluable rights of free Citizens" Seixas expressed his hopes for the success of the new "government erected by the majesty of the people a government which to bigotry gives no sanction—to persecution no assistance; but generously affording to all liberty of conscience."</p><p>Seixas' letter moved President Washington who echoed Seixas' words and built on them to make his most celebrated statement on religious freedom. He responded as soon as he returned to the capital New York assuring the Hebrew congregation that "happily the Government of the United States which gives to bigotry no sanction to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support. It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham who dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree and there shall be none to make him afraid."</p><p>Washington's addresses responding to religious congregations included those of Baptist Congregational Dutch Reformed Episcopalian German Lutheran German Reformed Jewish Protestant Presbyterian Quaker Roman Catholic and other denominations.</p><p>Today we understand that Washington and his fellow Founding Fathers were oblivious to the realities of other kinds of oppression. Knowing what we know now how can we still value these slave-owners' declamations on freedom While acknowledging Washington's ownership of his full share of the universal biases of his age we can and should still treasure his "to bigotry no sanction" letter as a powerful testament to the promise of America. In the 218 years since Washington responded to Seixas' address has anyone come up with a better definition of the benefits and responsibilities of American citizenship</p><p>Washington's original letter was acquired by the Morris Morgenstern Foundation in 1948 and is on long-term loan to the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Seixas' letter to Washington is in the Library of Congress and Seixas' retained copy was acquired by the Morgenstern Foundation in 1949 and is with Washington's letter.</p><p><strong>Condition</strong></p><p>Fine condition with intersecting folds and slight bit of foxing.</p>

Stearns 1780" at head of title. <br /> <br /> A desirable pre-Revolutionary War sermon. Parsons locates God's hand in all events "either when we enjoy the advantages of good civil government or find that it is altered and become grievous." The British heritage of good civil government is now disturbed: "The scene is changed- Grievances are complain'd of- In Great Britain- In Ireland- In America- In this Province.- The day is become gloomy and dark and the waters are troubled." <br /> Even in England "A King may be misled by evil counsellors- He may be corrupted by bad ministers and give into those measures which are injurious to the subject." As God has brought us safely out of the "howling wilderness" He will do so today when "our liberties have been invaded and hostile measures made use of to bring us to submit to things which are grievous." <br /> FIRST EDITION.

Born in Gloucester Massachusetts in 1716 Moses Parsons graduated from Harvard in 1736 and while pursuing his theological studies he taught a private school in his native town as noted in the catalogue from 1741-44. In 1744 he accepted a call to Byfield Parish where he was distinguished as a preacher until his death in 1783 having seen the Church through the Great Awakening led by George Whitefield and through the Revolutionary War. At his school Parsons taught a veritable Who’s Who of early Gloucester residents – individual and family names such as Winthrop Sargent whose son was a prominent patriot and Governor of the Mississippi Territory William Ellery Nathaniel Haraden whose son served as the Sailing Master of the U.S.S. Constitution and many others. In addition to his pastoral responsibilities at Byfield Parsons was instrumental in founding Governor Dummer Academy now known as The Governor’s Academy. During his tenure at his private school Parson’s calculates that he taught 75 boys and 28 girls quite a few of whom would go on to be immortalized by Gloucester historians John Babson and James Pringle.
