17901230921790. First Edition. NEWTON John. The Christian Correspondent; or A Series of Religious Letters Written by The Rev. John Newton to Captain Alexr. Clunie From the Year 1761 to the Death of the Latter in 1770. Hull: Printed by George Prince 1790. Octavo modern half olive cloth black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton a slaveship master and born-again Christian to Alexander Clunie a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal Newton went to work in the slave trade. While he found Christianity in 1748 after nearly dying in a storm at sea he remained an active slave shipmaster. ""In the summer of 1750 Newton began another slaving expedition this time as master of the Duke of Argyle Throughout this voyage and the next as master of the African Newton felt no scruples about slave trading seeing it as the work marked out for him by Providence though he admits to his horror at slavery's brutal accoutrements and his prayer that in God's own time he would receive a more humane calling one that would keep him in regular communion with other Christians perhaps a reflection of his new friendship with Alexander Clunie whom he met when the African called at St. Kitts. Clunie a fellow ship master and believer convinced Newton of the importance of the fellowship of believers and of his security in the covenant of grace. In 1790 their long-term friendship ultimately resulted in the publication of The Christian Correspondent a collection of letters they exchanged over the years"" mainly dealing with Christianity and family life Encyclopedia of Christian Literature 489. In the time between the writing and publication of these letters a great deal changed in Newton's life. Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life he became an ardent abolitionist. He wrote extensively on the subjectas he had on all subjects throughout his lifeand counted Wilberforce among his closest friends. ESTC T18631.

At the time of his death it was estimated that he had approximately 10000 books in his collection focusing on English and American literary works the major part of which were auctioned by Parke-Bernet Galleries New York in April May and October 1941. Highlights of the sale included the autograph manuscripts of Thomas Hardy's novel Far From the Madding Crowd and Charles Lamb's essay Dream Children.

This includes the discovery of the ancient city of Halicarnassus and its famous mausoleum recounted in detail in the second volume. Following graduation from Oxford "Newton entered the British Museum in 1840 as assistant in the department of antiquities under Edward Hawkins. Here he took advantage of the opportunity to study a wide range of antiquities firsthand including coins and acquired a thorough training in curatorship. In 1852 Newton resigned from the British Museum on appointment as vice-consul at Mytilene. From April 1853 to January 1854 he served as acting consul at Rhodes. In addition to consular duties he was authorised to serve the interests of the museum by acquiring antiquities through excavation and purchase. His excavations on Kalymnos in 1854 and 1855 financed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffe the British ambassador at Constantinople yielded many inscriptions for the British Museum. Also in 1855 he unearthed the bronze serpent from Delphi in the hippodrome at Constantinople and visited Bodrum ancient Halicarnassus for the first time. After a second visit in the following spring he obtained a government grant of £2000 together with naval and military support for an expedition to retrieve some lions from the mausoleum immured in the castle of St Peter and to excavate the site of the mausoleum itself" ODNB.

The results were described by Newton in his History of Discoveries at Halicarnassus 1862-1863 written in conjunction with R. P. Pullan and in his Travels and Discoveries in the Levant 1865. These works included particulars of other important discoveries especially at Branchidae where he disinterred the statues which had anciently lined the Sacred Way and at Cnidos where Pullan acting under his direction found the Lion of Knidos now in the British Museum.
