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.

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
