1773028953America 1773. Manuscript. Good. folio 5 ff. 163 5 pp. original manuscript bound in contemporary vellum front cover with title inked in early hand; binding darkened stained and rubbed with vellum cracked and peeling over spine. Sewing loosening; a number of leaves separated. Pages age-toned with minor offsetting edges of first few leaves tattered with the lower portion of title leaf chipped away. Apparently unpublished 18th century American manuscript dealing with natural religion the nature of prophecy and revelation and the definition of "real Christianity" vs. "Orthodoxy." The author seems to have been at least contemplating publication as a preliminary advertisement offers the usual disclaimer regarding a work "never intended. for the Eye of the Public" that might yet "accidentally fall into private Hands" of "Strangers." That advertisement is signed "W. D." with "America 1773." Supplied below in a slightly smaller finer lettering; text on p. 112 refers in passing to "this 28th Dec.r 1773." References to "modern" or current events are slim to nonexistent; but Liebnitz appears unfavorably. The author also cites more approvingly Drs. Clarke Sherlock and Burnet - along with "Machiavel" on the nature of governments. Gil Blas is mentioned as a history that might be viewed as truth by the credulous ages hence; Shaftesbury Voltaire and Locke are treated of in the last pages. The text is reasonably but not excessively erudite there are occasional forays into Greek and Latin; the work's tone is often combative with the author's negative opinions of much Jewish philosophy and doctrine bluntly expressed. <br /> books

Benjamin Collins Brodie was author of the classic Pathological and Surgical Observations on the Diseases of the Joints G-M 4311. "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text being printed on India paper pasted-in are on separately inserted leaves . This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate . It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" Jackson. Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Windle & Pippin note but a single presentation copy that from Dibdin to his son.
