1808List2316Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin 1808. Letterpress broadside measuring 13 x 7 ¾ inches. Some slight toning near fine overall. Fine. A broadside announcing the candidates for the United States House of Representatives a list which includes Noah Webster. Webster received 212 votes in the preliminary election in May enough to get him a spot on the ballot but lost in the general election in a generally difficult time for Federalist politicians. Webster experienced a religious conversion during this period after being a not particularly devout Congregationalist earlier in his life and embraced the church completely perhaps due to the death of his infant son in 1806. Webster would run again for U.S. Representative in 1810 1812 and 1816 losing each time and eventually abandoned politics his last office held being in the Connecticut House of Representatives ending in 1807 shortly before his first campaign for national office. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC or other ephemera relating to Webster’s political career in Connecticut in the trade. The collected acts from this session were published in octavo format but we find no other record of this broadside printing. Hudson and Goodwin unknown

1796ST20740Philadelphia: Printed by Matthew Carey 1796. 165 x 102 mm. 6 1/2 x 4". 95 pp. <br/> Late 19th century brown half roan over marbled boards smooth spine divided into panels by gilt fillets each with gilt daisy red morocco label marbled endpapers. Sabin 102386; Evans 31599; ESTC W28973. Very light rubbing to joints and extremities mild foxing throughout but unusually clean and bright for a book printed on 18th century American paper and in a convincing retrospective binding showing almost no wear.<br/> <br/> This is a very pleasing copy of a work that demonstrates an important early American lexicographer's philosophy toward the impact of language. After graduating from Yale and briefly studying law Noah Webster 1758-1843 established an elementary school and discovered the need for spelling and grammar books in the new country. According to ANB "Webster believed that the new nation needed a feeling of identity a consciousness of self that bound it together and distinguished it from others. Not surprisingly Webster concluded that this revolution of mind and heart should begin with children and with the acquisition of books that would reflect the American language culture and history." He produced textbooks on spelling and grammar as well as his famous dictionary a book PMM tells us "marked a definite advance in modern lexicography." In the present work Webster goes beyond the words themselves into a concern with their usage telling us in the preface that he is attempting "to find the method of writing calculated to do the most general good" in society. The author serves as "prompter" giving lines to "the numerous actors upon the great theatre of life"--that is providing discussion on "common sayings" to help improve writers and by extension the "world at large." "The Prompter" was published anonymously in Hartford Connecticut in 1791 and enjoyed considerable popularity in New England well into the 19th century. Webster revealed his authorship in a 1796 advertisement in the federalist newspaper "American Minerva" which he had helped to found and edited from 1793-98. Our copy in a pleasing replica binding and quite fine condition internally is particularly appealing since many copies that have appeared on the market are in the condition expected of a book meant for the schoolroom.

Sarna Jacksonian Jew: The Two Worlds of Mordecai Noah New York 1981. <br /> This copy lists the cast of the 1849 Boston performance so it was not published before then and the publisher moved from the listed address 122 Nassau Street in 1870 or shortly thereafter thus providing a date range of publication.

"It is to be regretted that space will not serve to represent the caricaturists and depictors of manners who followed in the wake of Daumier and Gavarni. Among the most attractive of the former is Amédée de Noé known as Cham that is Ham the son of Noah of whom it was said that he had 'an idea a day' for Le charivari. A good proportion of his thousands of lithographs were gathered into albums. His contributions to the Album du siège in which Daumier was his collaborator are typical of his work" <br /> Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 155-156.
