‎Forty Years' Residence in America : or the Doctrine of a Particular Providence Exemplified in the Life of Grant Thorburn Seedsman New York‎

‎Boston: Russell Odiorne & Metcalf 1834. This is the 1834 first edition -- not a cheaply-made modern reprint. Good condition. SEE PHOTOS. NOT a library discard. Rebound in green cloth probably in first half of 20th century. Old damp stain on several pages. Light scattered foxing. Square and tight. Sharp corners. Hinges are perfect. 4.5" wide by 7.5" tall. Born in Scotland in 1773 Thorburn learned from his father to make nails and became an expert. In 1794 he immigrated to New York as he says in the Preface "with only three cents in my pocket and my nail-hammer in my hand." Thorburn immediately found employment in that profession the nature of the nail-making business is described here in detail. Soon however the invention of the nail-cutting machine deprived him of an occupation. He went to work as a grocer and became interested in plants. When purchasing his first plant he claims that he "knew not a geranium from a cabbage." But by 1803 according to the DAB he "became the first seedsman of any consequence in America and came to found a business that functioned for more than a century." In 1812 Thorburn issued the first seed catalogue in American history. Among the events from his life described here are providential escapes a scene at sea and accounts of the New York yellow fever epidemic in 1822. Thorburn also took to writing having assumed "Lawrie Todd" as a pen name. His collective successes allowed him to indulge his propensity for mingling with the rich and famous. According to the DAB Thorburn "jeopardized his standing with his church by cultivating an acquaintance with Thomas Paine" author of COMMON SENSE. Thorburn includes here a number of Paine anecdotes including one about Paine's narrow escape from execution in France and the remarks Paine made on his death-bed. There is a 17-page appendix of correspondence between Paine and William Carver. Another appendix is entitled "Hints to Gardeners Wishing to Emigrate to the United States." Thorburn "was very proud of being the original of the hero of John Galt's LAWRIE TODD the first novel with Rochester New York for its setting." -- Sabin 95610. Howes T-219. First Edition. Hardcover.

Bound in the original green cloth. Gilt titles on the spine and front cover are still bright and shiny. Top edge gilt. From the Translator's Preface: "FRUITFULNESS is the first of a series of four works in which M. Zola proposes to embody what he considered to be the four cardinal principles of human life." Respectively Zola's Quatre Évangiles four gospels were to feature principal characters named Matthew Mark Luke and John. Zola finished only 3 of them: Fécondité 1899 tr. FRUITFULNESS 1900; Travail 1901 tr. LABOR 1901; and Vérité published posthumously 1903 tr. TRUTH 1903. The final book JUSTICE was not completed at the time of Zola's death in 1902 of carbon monoxide poisoning from a stopped-up chimney. Although nothing was ever proved many people believed he had been murdered. After all Zola had made plenty of enemies as a result of his role in France's notorious Dreyfus Affair. Alfred Dreyfus a Jewish army captain was convicted of espionage and sent to Devil's Island. In 1898 Zola risked his life and career in defense of Dreyfus by accusing the French government of anti-Semitism and wrongful imprisonment. The catalyst was Zola's letter "J'accuse" published on the front page of a Paris newspaper L'AURORE. Less than 6 weeks later Zola found himself convicted of libel sentenced and removed from the Legion of Honor. To avoid prison Zola had to temporarily flee to England. Dreyfus was eventually pardoned and in 1906 exonerated by the Supreme Court. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good condition/No jacket. 8vo. ix 487pp. Doubleday, Page & Co. Hardcover‎
