CATALOGUE OF THE glmmnm OF THE LATE MR. GEORGE BRINLEY, OF HARTFORD, CONN. PART I. AMERICA IN GENERAL NEW FRANCE CANADA ETC. THE BRITISH COLONIES TO 1776 NEW ENGLAND HARTFORD PRESS OF THE CASE LOCKWOOD & BRAINARD COMPANY 1878 CONDITIONS OF SALE. 1. The highest bidder to be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be imme diately put up again and re-sold. 2. The purchasers to give their names and addresses, and to pay down twenty-five per cent, on the dollar in part payment, or the whole of the purchase-money, if required, in default of which the Lot or Lots so purchased to be immediately put up again and re-sold. 3. The Lots to be taken away at the buyer's expense and risk within three days from the conclusion of the sale, and the remainder of the purchase-money to be absolutely paid, or otherwise settled for to the satisfaction of the vendors, on or before delivery : in default of which Messrs. GEO. A. LEAVITT & Co. will not hold themselves responsible, if the Lots be lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, but they will be left at the sole risk of the purchaser. 4. In preparing the Catalogue, care has been taken to make the description of every book full and accurate, and every deficiency and imperfection which was discovered has been noted : but the sale of any Volume or Lot is not to be set aside on account of any error in the description. The books will be exposed for public exhibition one or more days, and will be sold just as they are without recourse. 5. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery and inconvenience in the settle ment of the purchases, no lot can, on any account, be removed during the sale. 6. Upon failure of complying with the above conditions, the money deposited in part payment shall be forfeited ; all Lots uncleared within the time aforesaid shall be re-sold by public or private sale, without further notice, and the deficiency (if any) attending such re-sale, shall be made good by the defaulter at this sale, together with all charges attending the same. This condition is without prejudice to the right of the Auctioneers to enforce the contract made at this sale, without such re-sale, if they think fit. GEO. A. LEAVITT & CO. PREFACE. In compliance with positive directions given by the late Mr. George Brinley, his whole collection of books relating to America will be offered for sale by auction. The Catalogue of the First Part of this collection is now submitted to the public. Few of those into whose hands it is likely to fall need be informed that within the field it covers it comprises a greater number of volumes remarkable for their rarity, value, and interest to special collectors and to book-lovers in general, -than were ever before brought together in an American sale-room. The titles of the books and tracts, though rarely given without abbreviation, will be found sufficiently full to distinguish the edition or impression, and accuracy of description as regards binding and general condition has been aimed at, throughout. All imperfec tions discovered by the compiler of the catalogue have been pointed out; though a rigorous collation of every volume was, under the circumstances, impossible. Some critical readers may object to the frequent recurrence of the terms "scarce," "rare," "superlatively rare," and so on; and if such terms have been misapplied the objection is certainly a valid one. But it is believed that a thorough examination of the catalogue will show that reference to the rarity of a book or tract has been omitted when it might fairly have been made, ten times as often as it has been made without warrant of critical bibliography. Turn, for example, to the collection of "Books printed in New England, 16401709" (pages 87-126), and to that of the "Works of the Mathers" (pp. 127- 176), and of the six hundred and fifty consecutive titles there are scarcely twenty that any American bibliographer could hesitate to mark " rare," or " very rare." VI PREFACE. The general plan of the Catalogue is indicated, as regards the First Part, by the table of Contents, prefixed. The arrangement it can hardly be called a classification is substantially that which was adopted by Mr. Brinley himself, for his book-shelves. A strictly alphabetical arrangement, by authors' names or titles, would perhaps have been more acceptable to bibliographers, but the extent of the library rendered such an arrangement impracticable, and it seemed inappropriate to the sale-catalogue of a library which is not less remarkable for the completeness of its collections in special depart ments, than by the number of its titles. The Second Part will comprise books relating to New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, with special collections of works printed by William Bradford, Reynier Jansen, A. Bradford, S. Keimer, Christopher Sauer, Benjamin Franklin, and other early printers, and a collection of works relating to the Quakers; Maryland, Virginia, and the Southern colonies and states ; the American Revolution ; Washingtoniana ; the United States, since the establishment of Inde pendence ; the West, California, and the Pacific coast ; Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America ; the American Indians, and their Languages ; American Biography ; American Poetry ; and Books printed in America from 1709 to 1776. The Third Part will include American Bibles ; Psalmody, and Music; books relating to Episcopacy in the U. States, Methodism, the Baptists, and other denominations ; Arts and Sciences ; Educa tion, including early School Books ; Chap Books (a large and curious collection) ; Bibliography, Catalogues, etc. ; Miscellaneous Works ; Almanacs ; Broadsides ; Maps, Prints, and Autographs. # * * HARTFORD, CONN., Jan. i, 1879.

It was obtained, a few years ago, from a private library in France, in which, apparently, it had rested undis turbed since it received its i;th century binding. The description and collation agree with Sabin's (Dictionary, No. 11839) and Field's (Ind. Bibliog., No. 268), except in two particulars. The map has the inscription : " Faicte Pan 1632 par le sieur de Champlain," and, its two sheets having been joined in one, it is inserted in its proper place, after p. 210 of the Second Part, and immediately before the " Table povr cognoistre les lievx remarqvables enceste Carte." (It is usually found when found at all at the end of the volume, separated from its Table of Reference, by the " Traitte de la Marine" and specimens of the Indian Languages.) The " blank leaf " after page 210 (the 4th leaf of Qq.) has been removed, or cut down to form a guard. The united sheets of the map measure 33! by 2o| inches, between the outer lines of the border. The impression is excellent; and so are the impressions of the^fw copper-plates, pp. 245, 259, 265, 291, and 304. 77 CHARLEVOIX (P. F. X.) History and General Description of New France.

The author dedicates his "few bad unripe Rimes" to King Charles I., "being the^/trst fruits of this kind that ever visited this Land out of that Dominion of yours." One of the complimentary poems addressed to the author is by William Vaughan, whose " Golden Fleece " was printed two years earlier. Another is by George Wither, the emblematist and satirist, and another (an Acrostic) by John Vicars. The names of George Sandys and William Vaughan are found in every notice of early American poetry. That of Hayman. their contemporary, seems almost unknown even to bibliographers. It is unnecessary to add that his book is EXTREMELY RARE. 117 JUKES (J. B.)

John Higginson of Salem aged 92 will be apparent to any one who reads a single page of it. Dr. Palfrey, with more probability, suggests (p. 310) that " Cotton Mather was concerned in the composition : " but " the smartness and pedantry of the style " are as characteristic of Rev. John Wise of Chebacco (who had an old grudge against Dudley) as of Mather. 286 DEXTER (H. M.)

He returned to England, and joined the Fifth Monarchy men. In 1655, he re-published, in London, Cotton's "Abstract of Laws and Government" (see No. 562), to which he punishments; some, pecuniary punishments" (pp. 30-32): with "the intention, not to Judaize, but to show the perfection of the whole Word of God, to direct in matters of Civil Judgments, as well as in Church affairs." 518 ASPINWALL (Wn.)

E. in 1639, and became Mr. Warham's colleague at Windsor (Conn.), to which place Mr. St. N. intended to follow him. He decided, however, to remain in England, where, in 1657, he married a daughter of Anthony Grey, the puritan rector of Burbach, afterwards Earl of Kent.

Shepard's 82 SHEPARD -- STODDARD. letter occupies pp. i-ioi. It is followed by a Discourse on John 6. 27, by R. H. (pp. 133), with a dedicatory epistle to his "two daughters Margaret and Elizabeth." The names of the daughters and their ages ("the elder drawing neer to sixteen years," and the younger "now thirteen years,") sufficiently identify R. H., the "dear friend" to whom Shepard's letter was addressed, with RICHARD HARLAKENDEN, Esq., of Earls- Colne in Essex, the elder brother of Roger Harlakenden who came with Mr. Shepard to New England and became a member of his church in Cambridge. Their sister Mabel married John Haynes, governor of Massachusetts and first governor of Connecticut. During Mr. Shepard's ministry at Earls. Colne the Harlakenden family had been his warm friends, and had done all in their power to protect him from the persecution which finally drove him from England. Richard Harlakenden's first wife was Alice, daughter of Sir Henry Mildmay, by whom he had the son Richard to whom this volume is dedi cated. By his second wife, Mary Denny, he had three daughters, Margaret, Mary, and Elizabeth. Mary died young. The others were about sixteen and thirteen years of age, respectively, in 1651 which fixes, nearly, the date of publication. The volume must be VERY RARE. It seems to have escaped the notice of English and American bibliographers, of the editors of Shepard's works, and of all his biographers. It is not named in the catalogues of the Prince, Am. Antiquarian Society's, Harvard Col lege, or Mass. Hist. Society's libraries, nor in any other which the writer of this note has consulted. 662 SHEPARD (T.)

G\reen\ and M. J\phnsori\ for Hezekiah Usher, 1664 EXTREMELY RARE. Large, clean, and bright copy. ALMANACS, PRINTED AT CAMBRIDGE, 1646-1650. These five Almanacs (Nos. 699-703) every one of -which is believed to be UNIQUE belonged to the Rev. Samuel Hough (Haugh), Minister of Reading, Mass., whose name appears on the title-page of the Almanac for 1649. They were interleaved by him, and contain 'many manuscript entries, some of which are of much historical value, and nearly all are of interest to New England antiquaries. They passed into the possession of Judge Sewall (the guardian of Mr. Hough's grand-children), and remained in the Sewall family until they were purchased, not many years ago, by the late Mr. John K. Wiggin of Boston, who sold them to Mr. Brinley. An endorsement on the cover of one of them shows that they were loaned to Mr. John Farmer in 1824, and again in 1833. Mr. Farmer commu nicated to Mr. Savage some of Mr. Haugh's notes particularly, the one which records, against June 15, 1648, \\\e jflrst execution in New England for Witchcraft (see Savage's Winthrop, ii. 326, note}. Thomas (Hist, of Printing, i. 234), names Danforth's Almanacks for i647,-8,-9, and Oakes's "Astronomical Calculations," "1648, about," among books printed by Stephen Day. It is plain, however, that he had not seen all if any of them. The Almanac for 1646 (which has lost its title-page), was doubtless by STEPHEN DAY the first printer at the first Anglo-American press. That of 1647 has the UNIQUE imprint of MATTHEW DAY, the son of Stephen, a printer not mentioned by Thomas; and the Almanac for 1648 must also have been his work, though his name does not appear in the imprint. (These two almanacs have the title within a border made up of figures representing the phases of the moon.) Matthew Day died in May, 1649. No printer's name appears on the Almanacs for 1649 and 1650. On the latter, the name of Samuel Danforth, as author, is omitted, and in its place stands the Latin line, ' ' Parvum farva decent." This identifies the Almanac with the "little parcel of astronomical calculations, with this apposite verse in the title-page," which, as Cotton Mather states, was published by URIAN OAKES, while a student at Harvard. (Thomas, misled by Mather's title, enters "Astronomical Calculations. By a Youth [Urian Oakes]," as of "1648, about," and says it is not ascer tained when or by whom it was printed.) There is no doubt that the Almanacs for 1649 and 1650 which are precisely alike, typographically, were printed by SAMUEL GREEN; and the former is the FIRST work known to be his, the Cambridge Platform, printed late in 1649, being the first work having his name (or initials) in the imprint. Thus, the five tracts comprise specimens of the work of the FIRST THREE PRINTERS in English America; the ONLY known work of one, and the FIRST work of another of the three. 699 [MDCXLVI.

Dr. Thaddeus Mason Harris of Dorchester, Mass., who has left this note, on a guard leaf : "As this little book was not published, and 'but very few copies printed,' it has become so scarce that this may be considered the only copy. The like may be said of the tract which contains ' The Dying Speeches of some Indians.' " (See No. 765.) The only other known copy of this book was in the library of Mr. Menzies, and was then believed by Mr. Sabin to be UNIQUE. See the Menzies Catalogue, no. 666.

The Title is printed length-wise of the first page (from top to bot tom). In his prefatory note, Eliot says : " These things are Printed not so much for Publishment, as to save charge f or writeing out of Copyes for those that did desiere them." This is the ONLY KNOWN COPY. It is in perfect condition, clean and bright, elegantly bound (by P. Bedford) in dark'blue levant morocco, full gilt back, paneled sides, with center and corner ornaments, and rich inside borders. The Am. Antiquarian Society's Catalogue gives the title under the year 1663. This is considerably too early. The tract contains several references to matters that occurred after the termination of the Indian War, in 1677. It probably was printed at about the same time with the second edition of the Indian Bible, between 1680 and 1683, or a little later.

The internal evidence that it was printed either at Boston or Cambridge, between February and May, 1690, seems conclusive. The sack of Schenectady by the French and Indians (Feb. 8, 1690) is alluded to, p. n. The fact that all the depositions printed on pages 12-14 are made by Salem men, and the suggestion, in the last paragraph, that it "would be convenient for Salem, the oldest town in the Colony," to take the lead" in establishing a provisional government under the old Charter, may perhaps furnish a clue to the authorship.

Certainly, in completeness, size, and condition, it leaves nothing to be desired.

It wants the "Catechism" (a single leaf) at the end; but it has the General Title, in duplicate, one at the beginning of the volume, and the other at the end of the Old Testament. Mr. Henry Stevens, of whom this copy was purchased by Mr. Brinley in 1871, explains the presence of the second title, in this way: " Sheet Ppppp, the end of the Old Testament, is bound up as originally printed; that is, Ppppp i is the end of the 0. T., ending on the reverse ; Ppppp 2 is a blank leaf ; Ppppp 3 is the title to the Old and New Testament, reverse blank ; and Ppppp 4 is blank on the recto, and has the List of the Books on the verso. The cut-out of the two middle leaves of this sheet, then makes the blank leaf and the title at the front of the book. In this copy, these two leaves are in duplicate, and as clean and fresh as they were in 1685.'' With these excep tions (and the absence of the Dedication), the collation is the same as for No. 789. The leaf measures 7 inches tall by very nearly 6 inches wide. In the upper corner of the (first) title is the autograph of "Jo. Baily. Jan. i. [i6]8f N. E." (the Rev. John Baily, minister of Watertown, and assistant minister of the First Church, Boston, 1693-97). On the blank leaf preceding the title, is the fine autograph of "Grindall Rawson | His Indian Bible | Given him By his Father | 1712." The writer, minister of Mendon, Mass., 1680-1715, was much engaged in the Indian work, and was able to preach to the Indians in their own language. He translated for them Cotton's Milk for Babes (No. 783) and the Confession of Faith of 1680 (No. 784). He was a son of Secretary Edward Rawson, who gave him this Indian Bible. The binding, executed under Mr. Stevens's direction, is in the best style, in blue gros- grain levant morocco, sides filleted and paneled, blind arid gold, with centre ornaments, the back paneled, broad inside borders of elegant design, on a lining of red levant morocco ; enclosed in a dark green morocco box, lined -with white velvet, gilt and lettered. 791 - - ELIOT (JOHN) The Indian Grammar Begun: or, An Essay to bring the Indian Language into Rules, &c., pp. (4), 66, best levant dk. blue morocco, paneled sides, corners ornamented, inside borders (Bedford). 4 Cambridge, Marmaduke Johnson, 1666 EXCESSIVELY RARE.

It may be of the edition of 1687, mentioned in Isaiah Thomas's list of books printed by Samuel Green (Hist, of Printing. I. 263.)

The title has not been found in any published catalogue (except the Am. Antiq.

For the reprint, with the " Answer of the Dissenting Brethren" annexed, see the following number. 845 PROPOSITIONS concerning the Subject of Baptism and Consocia tion of Churches ; collected and confirmed out of the Word of God, by a SYNOD OF ELDERS and MESSENGERS of the Churches in Massachusets-Colony, . assembled at Boston according to the Appointment of the Honoured General Court, In the Year 1662. . .

[by President Charles Chauncy,] pp. 1-38. This is the English reprint of the "Propositions" with the addition of Chauncy's Anti- Synodalia, separately paged, but without a special title-page. Thomas (Hist, of Printing, I. 255) puts this edition of the Anti-Synodalia (" 47,0. 38 pages," 1662) in the list of books printed at Cambridge by Samuel Green, and says it "was reprinted in London." It is nearly certain that no American edition had been printed when, in Feb ruary, 1664, the Rev. John Allin published hi:; " Animadversions upon the Anti-Synodalia Americana, a Treatise printed in Old England." In his preface Mr. Allin mentions the ;atise printed in Old England." In his preface Mr. Allin mentions the Antisynodalia which "came to our hands" and "another Essay [John Davenport's] of the same nature [which] was here published." The type of the n. p. volume of 1662 differs from that of the Cambridge edition of the " Propositions" (see No. 844) and is unlike any that Green is known to have used in Cambridge. The Massachusetts edition has the full imprint: "Cambridge: Printed by S. G, for Hezekiah Usher at Boston in New-England. 1662." This copy has, at the foot of the title-page, the autograph inscription of " John Cotton his booke, given him by his Brother Mr. Increase Mather." 846 PROPOSITIONS concerning the Subject of Baptism etc. . . .

The binding one of Mr. F.BEDFORD'S master-pieces is in dark brown crushed levant morocco, the sides studded with gold stars , within broad gilt borders, -with corner and center ornaments; and the volume is enclosed in a Solander case of blue, straight-grained morocco, lettered. For a description and collation, see Thomas's Hist, of Printing, i. 231, 232, and the Prince Library Catalogue. To offer any remarks on the RARITY or the IMPORTANCE of this precious volume would be sheer impertinence. The acquisition of a copy of the original edition of the Bay Psalm Book must always be the crowning triumph to which every American collector aspires, while the chances of acquisition are constantly diminishing. It is by no means probable that another copy will be offered for competition within the next quarter of a century, at least. 848 BAY PSALM BOOK.

The New England version (Bay Psalm Book), as revised and improved by Dunster and Lyon, in 1650. Mr. Thomas believed this to be the third. edition 'of the revision, and the fifth including all from 1640. "The printing," he observes, "is executed by a good workman, and is the best that I have seen from the Cambridge press. I conclude, therefore, it could not be printed by Green before the arrival of Marmaduke Johnson in 1660; I have no doubt it was printed tinder Johnson's care; and, probably, soon after the Indian Bible came from the press in 1663." See his long note, in History of Printing, i. 257-8; and compare a note in Mr. Haven's (Am. Antiq. Society's) Catalogue, under the year 1665, suggesting that "it is doubtful whether the printing was done in this country or in England . .

On the page referred to, the author speaks of what he did, "having by accident, some respite time this year 1681," in September, and on p. 7, mentions the result "in 6 months" which brings the date of publication as late as March, 1681-2.

The learned and pious author labors "to expose the antick fancy of America's being Hell" the " Sedem Inferorum" to which Christ descended, or even the Apocalyptic Gog and Magog; but he honestly confesses (p. 40) that " there is so much Confusion in the discourses upon this subject, that a man cannot tell when he is in Heaven and when he is in Hell? and that " so near an approach to, so complcat a resemblance of Hell, was not to be found in rerum nattira " as in America. 859 SEWALL (SAMUEL) Phsenomena quaedam Apocalyptica ad Aspec- tum Novi ORBIS configurata.

" Meat out of the Eater"" was first published in 1670 (see No. 882, note), but no copy of 16 122 BOOKS PRINTED IN NEW ENGLAND, 1640-1709. the first, second, or third edition appears in any American catalogue. Mr. J. W. Dean, in his memoir of Wigglesworth (N. E. Hist. &> Geneal. Reg., xvii. 145) says that "the earliest edition of which we have been able to obtain any information is the 4th ; " and of this, only one copy, besides Mr. Brinley's, is known to the writer. " The Day of Doom" was first printed in 1662. " It is not known that a copy of either of the first three editions is extant " (Sibley, Harv. Graduates, 284). Neither Mr. J. W. Dean nor Mr. Haven (Cat. of Ante-Revol. Publications} could find a copy of any American edition earlier than the sixth, of 1715. "This work," says Mr. Sibley, "represented the theology of the day, and for a century, with the exception perhaps of the Bible, was more popular throughout New England than any other that can be named." Copies of subsequent editions (1715, -51, 1811, -28, -67 ; and " Meat out of the Eater," 1770,) will be found in the Second Part of this Catalogue, under the head of AMERICAN POETRY. 890 WILLARD (Samuel), Vice- President of Harvard College.

It is EXCESSIVELY RARE. This sermon "was preached on occasion of the Anabaptists first setting up in opposition to the Churches of Christ," says Increase Mather (On Infant Baptism, 1680, p. 277). A Baptist church had been organized, in Charlestown, May 28, 1665. Five of their members had been disfranchised by the General Court (Oct. nth), a few weeks before this Lecture was preached. Mr. Wilson, says Cotton Mather, "had the Zeal of a Pharisee, I had almost said of a Seraphim, in testifying against every thing that he thought offensive to God," and, "in his sight," adds Mr. Frothingham, "among things most offensive was Anabaptists and Quakers." (Hist, of Charlestown, p. 69. ) THE WORKS OF THE MATHERS. For the purposes of this Catalogue, it has been found convenient to arrange the works of the several members of the Mather family extending nearly to four hundred and fifty titles (exclusive of duplicates) in the following order: (i) RICHARD, of Dorchester. (2) INCREASE, of Boston, son of Richard. (3) COTTON, of Boston, son of Increase. The others follow in the alphabetical order of their Christian names: (4) AZARIAH, of Saybrook/son of Samuel (of Windsor). (5) ELEAZER, of Northampton, son of Richard. (6) MOSES, of Middlesex, Conn., gr. gr. grandson of Richard. (7) NATHANAEL, of Dublin and London, son of Richard. (8) NATHANAEL, of Boston, son of Increase. (9) SAMUEL, of Dublin, son of Richard. (10) SAMUEL, of Windsor, Conn., son of Timothy and grandson of Richard, (n) SAMUEL, of Witney (Engl.), son of Increase. (12) SAMUEL, of Boston, son of Cotton. The works of INCREASE and COTTON Mather (Nos. 939-1282) are arranged in the alpha betical order of their titles : all the others, in the order of time of publication. An obelisk (|) prefixed to a title indicates that the work was published anonymoiisly. In giving the sizes, the signatures have been the guide. Signatures in eights (or half-sheets, in fours) are marked 8 ; in sixes or twelves, 12. Where no place of piiblication is named, it will be understood that the book was printed in Boston, uhless specially marked as of no place (n. p.) 930 MATHER (RICHARD) f Church-Government and Church-Cove nant discvssed, In an Answer of the Elders of the severall Churches in New-England To two and thirty Questions, sent over to them by divers Ministers in England . .

(" Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves," etc.) " He wrote a treatise to prove that whatever priviledge and liberty may belong to the fraternity, the rule of the church belongs only to its Presbytery." Magnalia. The occasion and the date of this Sermon deserve notice. The town of Marlborough was not incorporated until May, 1660, and the Rev. William Brinsmead (a native of Dor chester, and doubtless a member of Mather's church) is said to have been the first minister, but he was not installed until October 3, 1666. That he (or any other) minister was ordained at Marlborough as early as April, 1659, seems to have been unknown even to Mr. Hudson, the local historian.

" Such Church-Members in N. E. as have sent their Children to be Practitioners or Spec tators of mixt Dancing between Young Men and Maidens," says the Reverend author (p. 29), "have cause to be deeply humbled. But stand still a while! what a word is here! Church-members and their Children in N. E. at mixt Dances! Be astonished, O ye Heavens ! without doubt, Abraham is ignorant of us, and Israel knoweth us not ! ' In November, 1684, the Ministers of Boston "come to the Court and complain against a Dancing Master [Mr. Francis Stepney] who seeks to set up here, and hath mixt Dances, and his time of meeting is Lecture-Day, and 'tis reported he should say that by one Play he could teach more Divinity than Mr. Willard or the Old Testament. Mr. Moody said 'twas not a time for N. E. to dance. Mr. Mather struck at the Root, speaking against mixt Dances." (SeivaWs Diary.} Mr. Stepney was ordered not to keep a dancing school. Disregarding the prohibition, in February, 1685-6, he was prosecuted and fined 100, for "speaking blasphemous words," but the payment of all but 10, was remitted on condition that he should leave Boston before the last of March. Just then, a second impression of " The Arrow against Dancing " was published. 942 Awakening Soul-Saving Truths, Plainly delivered in several Ser mons [on the Called and the Chosen], //.

The writer was a prominent sup porter of the Private Bank project, and declares that " it was a very wrong step to crush [it] and set up this Publick Bank in its place" &c. (p. 7). He sees no remedy for hard times but inflation ; thinks the Government should " go on some great and expensive work, and Emit Bills to carry it on ; " " if there was a Bridge built over Charles River, if Fifty Thousand Pounds were expended to make it durable &c., this would help us by imploying the Poor, and the circulation of the Bills would be a great service to every body," &c.

"I like MASSACHUSETTS. him," he says (p. 16) "much better in the Pulpit, there I'll willingly receive his Instruc tions ; but now he is out of his sphere." 1440 New News from Robinson Cruso's Island, in a Letter to a Gentleman at Portsmouth, (n. t. /.) //. 8. 1 6 Cruso's Island [Boston], 1720 Dated, at end, Dec. igth, 1720. Written by an advocate of a larger emission of bills of credit, and against the majority in the Council and the supporters of Gov. Shute in his contest with the popular party. It abounds in allusions, serious and satirical, to prominent men and measures of the time. A hit at " the great DON DAGO, the Primate--wou' l d-be of our Island (like the famous Dr. S 1 [Sacheverel] ) " and his " old Itch of Scribbling," seems intended for Cotton Mather, and so, perhaps, is one at a "Clergy-man who (Com- median-like} will stand belabouring his Cushion and intermixing his Harrangue with THUNDER-BOLTS, while he is entertaining his peaceable Congregation with things whereof he is almost as Ignorant as I am of the Saddle Balaam rode on when his Ass spoke," etc. When Gov. Shute, in his speech at the opening of the session, March 15, 1721, recom mended measures to punish the authors of factious and seditious papers, the House answered that few or none would dare to publish such papers " if proper measures had been taken to discover and punish the authors of a libel, called, News from Robinson Cruso's Island, wherein the members of the House are grossly reflected upon" (HUTCH- INSON, ii. 223). To that libel, the "New News" &c., was perhaps a rejoinder. Haven's (Am. Antiq. Soc.) Catalogue has, on the authority of the Prince MS., the title of " Reflec tions upon Reflections : or More News from Robinson Cruso's Island," attributed (with a query) to Elisha Cooke, the leader of the popular party in the House. 1441 - - News from the Moon.

At a meeting of the Council, Feb. 28, it was read and considered, and was declared to con tain " many vile, scandalous, and very abusive expressions, which greatly reflect on His Majesty's Government and People of this Province, and tend to disturb the public peace." B. Gray, the publisher, was summoned, and "acknowledged that he had caused the same to be printed, and that the original in manuscript was delivered to him by an unknown hand," Feb. 8th. The Council directed the Attorney-General (Paul Dudley) " to prosecute the said Gray, or any other person that may have been concerned in the making or pub lishing the said Pamphlet."

An " Advertisement," p. 12, notices the article in the " last Week's Gazette" " by a cer tain railing Rabshakeh," who has " attempted to stain the unblemished reputation of a Worthy Gentleman, and a hearty Friend to his Country" (" Americus Patriae") ; and a second Advertisement is dated from " Cruso's Island, 1721," promising for the press "a small Tract intituled, The Saddle set on the right Horse." 1443 -- A Letter from a Gentleman in Mount Hope, to his Friend in Treamount, pp. 7, nearly uncut. 16 n. p., n. d. \_Boston, 1721] The Letter is dated, Feb. 27, 1721. It was occasioned by an article in the Boston Ga zette of Feb. 20, dated "N. E. Castle William, February, 1720, 21," imputing interested motives to a writer ("Americus Patrice,") who had advocated a larger emission of bills of credit. The Gazette writer had designated "Americus Patriae " as " Worldly Wise Man." This allusion, and the account given in the "Letter," pp. i, 2, of that "Reverend and Worthy Gentleman's " treatment by Andros, point unmistakably to the Rev. John Wise of Ipswich (Chebacco).

It is, for general readers, the most interesting of all the tracts published in the Bank of Credit controversy, while its frequent references to trade, manufactures, industries, and home-life in Boston and in the country towns, give it, to the historian and antiquary, an exceptional value.

The Register for 1830 is " No. 40," and that for 1848 (the last published for Samuel Green) is No. 58. The earlier numbers of the Register are VERY SCARCE, and few Connecticut collectors have succeeded in making a set complete. 2049 CONNECTICUT REGISTER {Norton 6 RusselPs], 1827, 1828, 1829, 3 vols., (all published^} sewed. 12 Hartford, 1827-29 2050 CONNECTICUT REGISTER (Bradley 1 s}, 1847 to 1856, inclusive, 1859, J 86i, 1862. 13 vols. cloth. 16 Hartford, 1847-62 The volume for 1847 (the first) was compiled by the Rev.

Five sermons were printed in Cambridge and Boston, before a press was established in Connecticut. Of these five, four will be found elsewhere in this Catalogue: namely, J. Fitch's, 1674 (the FIRST PRINTED), No. 767; S. Wakeman's 1685, No. 880; J. Whiting's, 1686, No. 888; and G. Saltonstall's, 1697, No. 854. Only three (1710-12) were printed in Connecticut before that of J. Bulkeley, 1713, with which this series begins. Mr. Brinley began this collection of these Sermons nearly forty years ago, and allowed no opportunity of completing and perfecting it to escape. His success is almost unexam pled. Many of the earlier sermons are EXTREMELY RARE, and nearly all, before 179, are scarce. It is unnecessary to remark on the importance of a series of the Election Ser mons, to any historical library. There is scarcely any source from which so much light is thrown on colonial institutions, civil and political, as well as religious. From 1713 to 1764, inclusive, the Election Sermons were printed at New London: 1765-1770, alternately at Hartford and New London; 1771-74, N. London ; 1775-1818, Hartford, except 1778, N. Haven ; 1818-1830, alternately, Hartford and New Haven. The size was, from 1710 to 1764, 16 (hf. sheet 8) ; from 1765 to 1784, various, 4 and 8; after 1784, uniformly 8.

Major Talcott was Colony Treasurer from 1659, until his death, in 1688 ; an Assistant, from 1662 ; and Commander-in-chief of the Connecticut forces in the Indian War, in 1676. This volume contains his public as well as his personal accounts, for about 1 5 years. Every page has matter of interest to students of Connecticut history, and there are many entries sufficiently curious to attract even the most cursory reader. Here is one account, as it stands on opposite pages of the ledger (pp. 54, 55) : " 1676. Capt. John Stanton of Stonington, DR. To sundry Commissions gave Capt. Stanton to proceed ag< y e Indians : by which he gained much on sales of captives." " CONTRA. 1^77, April 30.

By Philoeunomos. Clean, uncut copy, with the author's autograph, "By Roger Sherman," on the title-page and addressed, in the same hand, "For Mr. Edward Wiggles worth, " pp. 15, fine clean copy, UNCUT, 1 6 New York, Printed by Henry De Foreest in King-Street, 1752 EXCESSIVELY RARE, if not UNIQUE. Its title is not in Haven's (Am. Antiq. Soc.) Catalogue, in Sabin's Dictionary, or in any other Catalogue that has been consulted. It was perhaps privately printed. This, the only known copy, has several corrections of the text, which seem have been made by the author. When this tract was written, Roger Sherman was in business as a country-merchant, in New Milford, but was prosecuting the study of law. He was not admitted to the bar until December, 1754. This is not only the earliest but (with the exception of his Alma nacs} the only work published by the man whom Jefferson pointed out as one "who never said a foolish thing in his life." Not long after this publication, in his Almanac for 1753, he " fills up a vacant page " (2 pages), with " Thoughts upon the loss and damages which the Inhabitants of the Colony of Connecticut have sustained by the depreciations of the Bills of Credit of Rhode Island and New Hampshire, since the year 1750." 21 81 Daggetfs S. at installa. of Nath'l Sherman at Mt.

By a Student of Yale College. New Haven, 1761 2209 A View of the Calvinistic Clubs in the United States, pp. 23, uncut. 12 n.p., n. d. [ab. 1800] "Connecticut is almost totally an ecclesiastical state, ruled by the President of the Col lege [Dr. D wight], as by a Monarch" (p. 14). "Time only can determine who have done most injury to Christianity, Paine, or the Calvinistic clubs." The name of the author of this tract (which is now SCARCE) seems to have remained unknown. Mr. Brinley's copy has, on the first leaf, the name of " J. Andrews, from L. Andrews," and below the half- title, in the same hand-writing, "J. C. Ogden," i. e. the Rev. John C. Ogden, of New Haven, 1770-85, afterwards rector of the Episc. Church in Portsmouth, N. H., and again, for a time, in Connecticut, after 1793.

The FIRST WORK PRINTED IN RHODE ISLAND, four years before the date which Thomas (i. 419) gives as that of the establish ment of the First Press in Newport. A most desirable acquisition to every Rhode Island collector, it will be scarcely less attractive to collectors of FRANKLINIANA, in other states, since James's " Poor Robin " manifestly gave the hint for Benjamin's " Poor Richard," first printed in 1 732. The calendar pages contain many pithy remarks and quaint proverbs, much in the vein of " Richard Saunders, Philom."
