17933069Hartford: Hudson and Goodwin 1793. First edition. Bound to style in modern quarter calf over marbled boards with morocco label to spine. Light scattered foxing largely concentrated at the preliminaries. Small tear to the blank inner corner of A2. Contemporary inscription to the footer of title page: "Sold in London by Chas. Delly price 1/6." Charles Delly a UK printer and bookseller active in the 1780s was clearly importing American titles to sell in his shop. Collates complete 5 6-56. An important and scarce work the only other copy to appear at auction came up disbound at Swann in 1982.<br/><br/>Best known as the lexicographer responsible for his American Dictionary of the English Language Noah Webster has been called "the father of American scholarship and education" Mason. He was also a committed abolitionist helping to found the Connecticut Society for the Abolition of Slavery in 1791. In the present work Webster argues that "slavery in all its forms and varieties is repugnant to private interest and public happiness of man." Providing a brief historical view of slavery Webster shows that across time and place the practice of enslaving people produces the same deleterious effects. "The actual produce of a country is nearly in an exact proportion to the degree of freedom enjoyed by its inhabitants." And he uses Ireland and Connecticut as examples that illustrate "the superior productiveness of the labor of freemen who work for their own benefit." Despite these progressive views Webster's essay is also heavily marked with the systemic racism that has undercut the momentum of many American social movements; and he problematically asserts the "laziness of slaves" in America commenting that "the blacks are so remarkable for their inaction their want of fore-sight and their disinclination to improvement." Unable to imagine the rich social movements that would emerge from enslaved people's descendants Webster places the responsibility for abolition on white Americans both for economic and moral good. "If that nation is the happiest which with industry enjoys a full supply of the comforts and conveniences of life then the government and those institutions which distribute and secure." <br/><br/>ESTC W31814.

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.
