[Taylor, Rev. Henry].
THE APOLOGY OF BENJAMIN BEN MORDECAI TO HIS FRIENDS, FOR EMBRACING CHRISTIANITY; in Seven Letters to Elisha Levi, Merchant, of Amsterdam.
Three volumes in one. pp. vi, 128; [8], 205, [1]; v, [1], 187, [1]. Uncut. Deckle edged. Some foxing, but a very very nice copy in a recent binding of quarter calf over marbled boards. Henry Taylor (1711-1785) was "among the last of the divines of the Clarkean school; but he outran his master, openly espousing the Apollinarian heresy, this he did in (this) series of letters. [The work] abounds in learning and in argument, but is very discursive. The seventh letter, On Miracles, was separately reprinted by his son William" - DNB. It is this discursive quality that most attracts our attention today. Roth, Magna Anglo-Judaica, 287: 70. ESTC T101250-2. Quite scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W144

[TUCKER Josiah] GHORBAL Karim
Josiah Tucker, ou Dieu contre l'empire. Biographie intellectuelle d'un économiste au XVIIIe siècle
Paris, Honoré Champion, "Les dix-huitièmes siècles" n° 224, 2024, 15,5 x 23,5, 640 pages sous couverture souple imprimée. "Contemporain d’Adam Smith, le doyen de Gloucester Josiah Tucker (1713-1799) partage avec ce dernier le projet de créer une science économique apte à guider l’action des gouvernants autant que celle des gouvernés. Promouvant l’épargne, l’industrie et le libre-échange, il a l’ambition de servir la morale chrétienne en soulignant la coïncidence des lois de Dieu et des lois de l’économie. Dignitaire de l’Église anglicane et proche des milieux dirigeants whigs, il n’en est pas moins une figure controversée, en raison notamment de son opposition radicale à la guerre, aux colonies et à l’Empire. Isolé de son vivant et oublié après sa mort, il constitue une énigme pour beaucoup d’historiens : les difficultés qu’ils ont à le définir soulignent les insuffisances de nos catégories de classement habituelles et la nécessité de renouveler notre manière d’aborder l’histoire intellectuelle. Cette biographie reconstitue les cadres sociaux de la genèse de l’œuvre de Tucker, restitue ses usages, identifie les différentes contraintes institutionnelles et intellectuelles qui se sont exercées sur le doyen tout au long de sa vie et évalue l’impact de ses idées sur ses différents lectorats, des années 1740 aux années 1780. Elle cherche ainsi à dépasser l’alternative classique du subjectivisme et de l’objectivisme. Elle interroge également notre façon d’envisager la marginalité et l’échec intellectuels, et rétablit la cohérence de la pensée de Tucker au sein des mondes politique, économique et religieux de l’Angleterre du XVIIIe siècle qui l’ont vue naître. Docteur en histoire, diplômé en philosophie et en anthropologie, Karim Ghorbal est maître de conférences à l’Université Rennes 2. Spécialiste de l’histoire des Lumières britanniques, ses recherches actuelles portent sur l’idée impériale et ses contestations aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles."

Wolff (worin der Herr Einsender zugleich ein äußerst günstiges Urtheil über den Werth des Buches ausgesprochen hat) wird ein in London lebender geachteter Arzt, Dr. Harryson, von der öffentlichen Meinung als der Verfasser des vorliegenden Werkes bezeichnet." Das Werk hatte in der englischsprachigen Welt großen Erfolg unter dem Titel "Passages from the Diary of a Late Physician", (a very popular Victorian short story collection, was originally serialized in Blackwood's Magazine and later published in book form). Es erschienen noch eine Reihe Nachfolgebände und -auflagen, der zuvor auch als Serie erschienenen Beiträge, wobei der Verfasser augenscheinlich seine Anonymität lüftete als Samuel Warren.

[Women - New England - Panic of 1837] Richards, Marion
Lengthy Letter Between Two Cousins Discussing the Cold Yankee Character and the Differences Between New England and New Jersey as Well as Current Events 1838
Claremont 1838. Stampless letter with circular Claremont New Hampshire postmark and 18 ½ cent rate. Fine condition. Fine. An entertaining letter written by Marion Richards of Claremont New Hampshire defending the northern way of life and describing the relative calm in New Hampshire during the Panic of 1837 which apparently had been the subject of previous correspondence between the two. She makes an interesting reference to “female rights†which she says she does not support perhaps also in reference to an earlier conversation. She writes “Your father speaks of the severe effects the course of the administration has had upon your city and consequently upon the high-raised hopes of her citizens; this undoubtedly is true in regard to all; all have been involved as it were in one general ruin and all have suffered. We as individuals it is true felt the change and with others echoed the cry 'hard times' but still in comparison with many suffered little. Embarked in no dangerous enterprise we retrenched our expenses adopting this plain sentiment 'to want no more than may suffice and make that little do'. Politics however interest me only as it affects my father's purse and deprives me of pleasure. Not very patriotic I confess but being neither an advocate of female rights and having a proper sense of the small amount of my influence I leave such like to father and Congress. “ <br /> <br /> The next section contains a detailed defense of the yankee character:â€And now allow me to follow somewhat in your train of thought and speak a good word for the Yankees. With that characteristic trait of a 'thorough-going-Yankee-Down-Easter' I have guessed that you Cousin suppose us to be an antisocial class of people & in order to lead you to a different conclusion I will attempt a slight delineation of sectional character. That we are cautious in the choice of friends is true; & that this caution may be carried so far as to give the impression that we are cold and retiring in our feelings is perhaps equally so; but may not this in the end result to mutual benefit if a friendship is longer in maturing will it not stand a longer & severer test and are not the pleasures arising from a friendship founded on a knowledge of character greater than those based upon supposed merit liable to be broken by any trivial occurrence A cold climate has not exerted its influences over the generous sympathies of our hearts & the social feelings though concealed by a cold exterior can be aroused and glow with as much warmth as in a softer clime. 'Nestled among the mountains' we have imbibed a free independent spirit both in thought & action.†She also discusses the prospect of visiting Newark and writes that it is perhaps more appealing in her imagination than in reality. <br /> <br /> Overall an interesting rumination on the culture of New England and a woman’s perception of life further south during the period. <br /> <br /> $300<br /> <br /> Full transcription follows:<br /> <br /> My Dear Cousin <br /> <br /> The receipt of your kind letter was to me a new and fertile source of gratification. Crowding thoughts that stranger hearts might yet be endeared in the sweet influences of friendship that we though far separated might commune on themes of kindred interest and kindred feeling that I occupied a place in the memory and affections of one under the fond appellation Cousin combined to excite deep and lively emotions and brighten the pleasing visions of the future. As long-tried friends we cannot recall the thoughts and sports of our school-going days; the past is a blank in our acquaintance which memory regrets but for which the present will most cheerfully make amends. Natural impulses of feeling prompt me to lay aside reserve and must excuse me if I betray a spirit of egotism or selfishness by placing ourselves first in importance and write of present plans and expectations. <br /> <br /> Your father speaks of the severe effects the course of the administration has had upon your city and consequently upon the high-raised hopes of her citizens; this undoubtedly is true in regard to all; all have been involved as it were in one general ruin and all have suffered. We as individuals it is true felt the change and with others echoed the cry 'hard times' but still in comparison with many suffered little. Embarked in no dangerous enterprise we retrenched our expenses adopting this plain sentiment 'to want no more than may suffice and make that little do'. Politics however interest me only as it affects my father's purse and deprives me of pleasure. Not very patriotic I confess but being neither an advocate of female rights and having a proper sense of the small amount of my influence I leave such like to father and Congress. In regard to our long contemplated visit I am allowed Hobson's choice or in other words may stay at home and be content. A dear Aunt in the last stages of consumption has required the close attention of my mother for the last four weeks; this with the advanced state of the season the numerous calls in my father's profession will render a journey for the present altogether impracticable. <br /> <br /> Of the general character of the society of your more favored region I have ever entertained the highest opinion. Where superior natural advantages exist we are accustomed to associate with them ideas of a people of a truly open-hearted warm and generous temperament & in so doing are seldom mistaken. Newark and its sister city has in imagination presented many attractions. The unrivalled beauty of the scenery of New York and its environs the works of art as well as nature a desire of novelty have contributed to form a very agreeable picture & make me ardently wish to partake of the hospitality and luxuries of your land; but those I must forego and persuade myself that the pleasures of anticipation are greater than those of participation until circumstances are favorable or I can show a more adventurous spirit than at present. <br /> <br /> And now allow me to follow somewhat in your train of thought and speak a good word for the Yankees. With that characteristic trait of a 'thorough-going-Yankee-Down-Easter' I have guessed that you Cousin suppose us to be an antisocial class of people & in order to lead you to a different conclusion I will attempt a slight delineation of sectional character. That we are cautious in the choice of friends is true; & that this caution may be carried so far as to give the impression that we are cold and retiring in our feelings is perhaps equally so; but may not this in the end result to mutual benefit if a friendship is longer in maturing will it not stand a longer & severer test and are not the pleasures arising from a friendship founded on a knowledge of character greater than those based upon supposed merit liable to be broken by any trivial occurrence A cold climate has not exerted its influences over the generous sympathies of our hearts & the social feelings though concealed by a cold exterior can be aroused and glow with as much warmth as in a softer clime. 'Nestled among the mountains' we have imbibed a free independent spirit both in thought & action. As to honesty little can be said; the venders of wooden nutmegs and pumpkin seeds have in this point injured us much. Pumpkin seeds reminds me of a partial promise of a "Pumpkin Pie'. Now I can pledge you in return not only a pie from one of the sweetest pumpkins of the valley of the Connecticut but the many good things that accompany it & which make it so grateful to the true Yankee. I would mention some of the peculiarities & delights of N.E. but my limits will not permit. <br /> <br /> Accept my warmest thanks for opening a correspondence & be assured that I will cheerfully very cheerfully contribute in my sober way as often as is agreeable to yo. Remember that a friendly letter from you will beguile the long evenings that are fast coming & receive the best wishes of us all. <br /> <br /> Affectionately Yours <br /> Marion Richards<br /> <br /> to <br /> <br /> Sarah C. Richards.<br /> <br /> Claremont Oct. 11th 1838. unknown
