Description:
8vo. Boston: Fowle and Capen, 1842. 8vo, iv, 390 pp. Old half calf, marbled boards, joints cracked, text block sound but quite foxed, especially at the front and back. Inscribed by the author and with the later signature of Mary C. Chapman on front pastedown. § Volume 4 of this series; this copy inscribed by Horace Mann: “C. Sumner from Horace Mann 1847.” Horace Mann inscriptions are uncommon and this is a superb association. “Charles Sumner (January 6, 1811 – March 11, 1874) was an American politician and senator from Massachusetts. As an academic lawyer and a powerful orator, Sumner was the leader of the antislavery forces in Massachusetts and a leader of the Radical Republicans in the United States Senate during the American Civil War working to destroy the Confederacy, free all the slaves, and keep on good terms with Europe. During Reconstruction, he fought to minimize the power of the ex-Confederates and guarantee equal rights to the freedmen.” Mary Chapman was involved with the…

Description:
12mo. Birmingham: by the Author, 1804. 12mo, xi, [i] 184 pp. Engraved portrait, with the half-title. Occasional spotting; expertly rebacked; still an attractive, untrimmed copy in the original drab boards. § First edition of this collection of provincial verse by John Collins (1742-1808), the actor, poet and sometime bookseller who became noted in the last quarter of the 18th century for his somewhat eccentric performances which combined recitations of his own light verse with songs and dialect performances. The volume contains a barrage of doggerel on themes considered comical: courtships and cuckoldings, dubious medicines, and satirical takes on recent events, all interspersed with sentimental ditties and regrettable forays into popular bigotry: “A Jew in Grain: The Doctrine of an Israelite! To be sung in High German Dialect,” “The Desponding Negro: A Song,” and the like. “[Collins’] evening performances generally went under the title of ‘The Brush’ or ‘The Evening Brush,’…
