Extortion. Vermont. Morhouse Abraham.ABAA

The Writings of a Pretended Prophet In Six Letters Who Assumed The Title Of "A Faithful Servant Of Jesus Christ" Officially Commissioned By Almighty God to Demand and Receive Of Abraham Morhouse Esq. of Johnstown New-York Two Thousand Pounds; With Terrible Denunciations In Case Of Refusal. To which is Added His Recantation: or Four Letters Written By The Prophet After His Detection. Second Vermont Edition.

181619535Rutland Vt. n. p. 1816. Second edition. A bit browned and worn; a very good copy. Stab-stitched unbound pamphlet stitching appears renewed at an early date 7.25 x 4.5 inches 12 pages untrimmed. The subject of the following letters has excited a very considerable degree of curiosity among the inhabitants of this place and its neighborhood; and as various representations respecting this business have been made the printer hereof solicited and obtained the privilege of the original papers with a view of introducing them for the perusal and patronage of the public. It is highly probable that the Prophet was a disciple of Brothers for like him her pretends an immediate commission from Almighty God although he does not claim a new relationship. . . . From motives of delicacy his name will be suppressed in the publication as it may injure the feelings of his family." An uncommon account of a curious attempt at divine extortion: beginning on August 5 1796 Abraham Morhouse began to receive letters from a self-styled prophet of God who wrote that he had been commanded by the Lord to order Morhouse to take "the exact sum of two thousand pounds current lawful money truly told and bear it hence to the bridge across the stream near the old potash works adjacent to town; cross the bridge and turn to the right hand and place the same down at the bottom of the bridge in plain open view." As the days drew on and Morhouse quite sensibly refused to make payment the letters became increasingly threatening "I tell thee that if thou now refusest to comply with what my Lord and master hath sent me unto thee to demand in this extraordinary way and manner that thou shalt so sure as thy soul liveth before many days be convinced of his power; for the one half of thy body and the one half of thy limbs and thy joints shall become as dead flesh whilst thou art alive: Wounds shall be grievous and past cure in thy secret parts; works shall gnaw thy flesh" until the erstwhile prophet was taken up and clapped into jail--at which point his correspondence to Morhouse takes on a rather more servile and flattering cast until after four days of incarceration Morhouse has asked the local magistrates for clemency and sent along a little money to help the scoundrel out as "the consequences to his family may be serious by deranging his pecuniary affairs which I fear are already in a state of embarrassment." Morhouse himself appears to have been something of a scoundrel; DeWitt Clinton wrote that he was "a complete villain who was pardoned when under sentence of death" and indeed he moved to Louisiana and became among other things a bigamist; he apparently died in 1812 and the reasons for the republication of this account in Vermont remain something of a mystery--though one suspects that perhaps the anonymous prophet had settled in Vermont. There do not appear to be any extant 18th century editions despite references in Sabin etc. and the 1802 Bennington edition is noted at UVM and AAS only on OCLC 12/2019. Sabin 105630; Shaw & Shoemaker 39883; McCorison 1891.

16747716London: Henry Herringman pr. by J.M. 1674. Folio 30 cm 11.8". Frontis. 42 41 1 blank 80 4 70 59/60 skipped in pagination text uninterrupted 154 23 1 blank 148 pp. Cowley's collected poems in their fourth edition beginning with a good impression of => the frontispiece portrait engraved by Faithorne "an account of the life and writings" of the poet signed by T. Spratt and two odes on Cowley's death by Thomas Higgons and Sir John Denham. Once considered the epitome of his era's wit the author of "The Mistress" verses in honor of love and various women included in this volume suffered a notable decline in popularity in subsequent years prompting Pope's musing "Who now reads Cowley . . . but still I love the language of his heart." And indeed despite the vagaries of reputation he has always had his worthy appreciators. Â Â Â Â Cowley's Pindaric odes are present here as are the "Davideis" and "Davideidos"; also set forth are the "delightful little prose Essays with verse interwoven" for which The Concise Cambridge History of English Literature believes Cowley will most ultimately be remembered. Some sections have separate title-pages bearing the same publisher and date information as the main Provenance: Front pastedown with small armorial bookplate and with bookseller's ticket from Cambridge England. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ESTC R29730; Wing rev. ed. C6652. On Cowley see: Concise Cambridge History of English Literature 35152. 17th-century mottled calf rebacked at some point in the 19th century and again more recently with hinges carefully reinforced inside; spine gilt extra with gilt-stamped leather title label covers showing the predictable acid-etching. Varying degrees of browning to pages; scattered incidents of worming in lower inner and outer margins almost never affecting text. Â Â Â Â => A handsome book in a binding both sturdy and attractive.
