17942990Boston: printed and sold by John W. Folsom 1794. Fourth Edition. Good. 12mo in 6's. 140 x 87 mm. A-H6 = 48 ff COMPLETE AND UNSOPHISTICATED. Paper-covered scaleboard binding with sheep spine hinges cracked paper almost completely removed from covers wood chipped away at corners leather chipped at head of spine leather rubbed along spine. Front binder's blank slightly detatched pages browned small water stain on bottom edge of back pastedown inscription on p. 18. Ownership inscription of Joseph Gould on verso of final binder's blank see below. A scarce 18th-century American scaleboard binding on a popular work by Noah Webster. Despite the modesty of the present binding its first owner Joseph Gould was clearly a discerning bibliophile: on page 18 he has written: "If any should chance this book to red sic let keep his fingers clean." <br/><br/>Scaleboard a.k.a. scabbard or scabboard was made from very thin sheets of wood that had been split going towards the grain instead of being sawed. Whereas the survival rate of early American scaleboard bindings is not high owing to their fragile nature they were once in great abundance used in place of paste or pulpboard from the 1680s until the mid-nineteenth century most often on widely disseminated texts such as this one. In the present binding the grain of the scaleboard is horizontal a common New England practice.<br/><br/>The present text was first printed in Hartford in 1791 and was reprinted well into the 19th century. Webster's authorship of the text was revealed in an advertisement in the "American Minerva" dated January 16 1796 which Webster had established in 1793 as New York's first daily newspaper and edited for four years. Called "the father of American scholarship and education" Webster was a prolific writer and textbook pioneer his "Blue-Backed Speller" books educating generations of American children. His name became practically synonymous with the word "dictionary" when his first dictionary "A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language" was published in 1806.<br/><br/>Provenance: inscribed "Stoneham / January 28 Day 1795 / Joseph Gould His / Book." This may be Lieut. Joseph Gould 1767-1800 who is buried at the Old Burying Ground sic in Stoneham. <br/><br/>Only one other copy of this edition appears on the market though not in a scaleboard binding.<br/><br/>Sabin 102383; Evans 28050; Skeel E.E.F.

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.

Very Good.<br /> <br /> Jewish American Mordecai Noah wrote and published this play in Charleston in 1812 under the title "Paul and Alexis; or The orphans of the Rhine." According to Jonathan Sarna "The Wandering Boys" was ranked among the best of its genre and only the second American play to appear on the London stage hence it represents the first play by an American Jew to appear on the London stage see Jonathan D. 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.

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.
