183171210London: published by Black Young and Young foreign booksellers to the King 1831. First English edition used by Webster as a template for his 1841 octavo "reprinted by E. H. Barker Esq. of Thetford Norfolk from a copy communicated by the author and containing many manuscript corrections and additions: with an appendix by the editor"; 2 volumes 4to; 20th-century half green straight-grain morocco gilt-titled direct on gilt-paneled spines; title pages a bit foxed vertical crease on the title of volume II; otherwise a very good sound and clean copy preserving the terminal advertisement leaf in volume I. Early 20th-century ownership signature in pencil of Arno Clapham on the least leaf of each volume. One of the scarcest of the early editions of Webster. Of note is the inclusion of Joseph Worcester's "Synopsis of Words pronounced by different Orthoepists" extracted from the American edition of 1829 which was edited by Worcester and published prior to the rift that developed between the two lexicographers. As to the text of the lexicon itself Skeel notes that it "was reworked by the English editor and was not merely a reprinting" which is likely the reason Webster chose it as a model for his 1841 revision. Perhaps there is an article on the relationship between this English edition and the 1841 octavo but I'm not aware of one.

Octavo contemporary marbled boards rebacked in period style speckled calf-gilt red morocco spine label uncut. $3400.First edition of this fascinating travelogue by Mordecai Manuel Noah the most prominent Jew in America at the timeU.S. Consul to Tunis the first American Jew to receive an overseas diplomatic assignmentillustrated with engraved frontispiece portrait and four engraved plates one folding. An excellent uncut copy in contemporary marbled boards.One of the early American republic's most influential Jews Mordecai Noah 1785-1851 was a journalist editor of New York newspaper The National Advocate publisher of the New York Enquirer and a community activist. He held the position of United States Consul to Tunis in 1816 was the sheriff of New York in 1821 the Surveyor of the Port from 1829-33 and a judge of the Court of General Sessions in 1841. He is perhaps most remembered as the originator of the ambitious though never-realized Ararat Project on Grand Island near Niagara Falls in 1825a proposed utopian city of refuge for persecuted European Jews. ""In 1813 Noah became U.S. Consul to Tunis. The government hoped that he would be able to forge special ties with influential Jews in North Africa and entrusted him with an additional secret mission: to devise a 'means for the liberation' of 11 captive American seamen in Algiers. Noah's efforts to free American captives were mostly unsuccessful. Only two seamen were released the ransom paid was excessive and the secret agent Noah appointed Richard R. Keene turned out to have an unsavory past. Although Noah carried out his other consular duties successfully and also established ties with local Tunis Jews Secretary of State James Monroe recalled him in 1815 In the wake of the recall Noah published Correspondence and Documents 1816 in his own defense followed by Travels in England France Spain and the Barbary States 1819 his most important book.

3730409<p>Philadelphia: Likely published by William Duane 1800. 8vo. 8pp. Caption title. Self-wrappers as issued; once sewn. Near fine housed in a custom cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered leather spine label.</p> <p>Webster’s Federalist Riposte to Hamilton’s Political Betrayal</p> <p>Pseudonymously authored by Noah Webster as “Aristides†this pamphlet delivers a searing rebuke of Alexander Hamilton for his public denouncement of President John Adams and his behind-the-scenes intrigues within the Federalist Party. Issued in response to Hamilton’s Letter. Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Webster defends Adams—particularly his support for naval defenses—and accuses Hamilton of undermining constitutional authority for personal ambition.</p> <p>A key moment in the bitter internal collapse of the Federalists the pamphlet reflects Webster’s political alignment with Adams but also his alarm at Hamilton’s ambitions. “Think not sir†writes Webster “that all the monstrous schemes of daring ambitious men to overawe and controul sic the constitutional powers of our government are either hidden or approved by federal men.†Hamilton’s letter issued late in the 1800 campaign proved a catastrophic miscalculation accelerating the Federalist defeat and Adams’s loss to Jefferson.</p> <p>Though unsigned Webster’s authorship was swiftly exposed. In November of 1800 the New York Gazette mocked the pamphlet: “A more puerile catch penny production never blotted paper†declaring the author “appears from his work about as well qualified for the task as a Billingsgate oyster is to contemplate the principles of Newtonian philosophy.â€</p> <p>Sabin 29960; see also 102361. Skeel-Carpenter 729. Not in Ford but see 61–62. Evans 39045 incorrectly suggesting New York as place of publication. ESTC W41582. Sheidley 44. Skeel records six variant printings all from 1800; only one bears an imprint and no priority has been established. Ours is the only printing Skeel attributes to Philadelphia which in 1800 was giving way to the District of Columbia as the nation’s capital. Skeel pointedly refuted Wilberforce Eames’s claim that it was published in New York.</p> unknown
