1864ref. 9660Philadelphia: Caxton Press of C. Sherman Son & Co 1864. First edition. 8vo. 50pp 86pp 24pp respectively. Black cloth boards with gilt titling to spine chipping to spine edgewear pages toned inscribed "Ellwood Evans Esq. with kind regards Eli K. Price" on ffep verso very good. This sammelband gathers three of Price's civic and genealogical addresses representative of the reform-minded intellectual culture of mid-19th century Philadelphia that were prepared for the American Philosophical Society. Presentation copy from Philadelphia lawyer and reform figure Eli K. Price to Ellwood Evans frequently called the pioneer historian of Washington Territory linking antebellum reform culture on the East Coast with the intellectual formation of the Pacific Northwest. Evans assembled a substantial working library of historical and autograph material reflecting the intellectual networks that shaped early territorial culture. Elwood Evans 1828-1898 born in Philadelphia became an early settler of Washington Territory following his appointment as first deputy collector of Puget Sound under Millard Fillmore. He served as mayor of Olympia and briefly as acting governor and is widely regarded as the region's first historian preserving key records of its territorial period. He was also active in fraternal circles serving as Master of Olympia Lodge No. 1. A quietly compelling association copy tying Philadelphia's reform culture to the earliest historical consciousness of Washington Territory. . Caxton Press of C. Sherman, Son & Co unknown
ref. BK0166Boston: Charles C. Little and James Brown 1847. 203 pp. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Near Fine. An important contemporary attack on the Pennsylvania system of prison discipline and its use of prolonged cellular separation published during a heated national and international debate over the treatment of prisoners. Gray had served as vice-president of the Boston Prison Discipline Society and for several years chaired the board of directors of the Massachusetts State Prison. The book appeared amid the bitter 1846-47 controversy within the Boston Prison Discipline Society after Charles Sumner challenged the organization's longstanding hostility toward the Pennsylvania system. Sumner's intervention drew attention in Europe and correspondence from Alexis de Tocqueville; Gray answered from the opposing side with the present work. A later account specifically identified Prison Discipline in America as the principal American response taking a stand against the Pennsylvania system.1 Gray's argument rests heavily on comparative evidence from American prisons including statistics from the Massachusetts State Prison at Charlestown and Eastern State Penitentiary at Philadelphia. He regarded the higher rates of insanity and mortality under constant separation as evidence against the system concluding that it tended to "enfeeble the body and the mind." His observations became an enduring part of the literature on solitary confinement and continue to be cited in modern medical and legal discussions of its psychological effects.

1880ref. 43529Cincinnati & Chicago: From the American Hebrew Publishing House the Bloch Publishing and Printing Company 1880. 1880s Preface is dated 1856. Original Full Leather binding with black & gilt spine label 12mo 2 leaves iii-xii 1243 pages. 17 cm. Title in Hebrew at head of title. Copyright page lists 1853 the copyright date for the first edition of Leeser's original translation of the Twenty Four Books of the Holy Scriptures published in 1854. The present Preface is dated Philadelphia 1856. The 1880s date is based on Singerman 3204 which notes the presence of the "undated 'Advertisement to the London Edition.' Repeated.in undated Bloch editions 1243 p. with acopyright date of 1853." Preceding the 1856 Preface is the undated 4-page "Advertisement to the London Edition" which notes that "This corrected version supplies an admitted want to our times. The so-called Authorized or Anglican version of the Scriptures.betrays great need for revision.Jews who of their own accord introduce the Anglican version into their households and who provide none other for the schools commit a flagrant breach of sacred trust in the abandonment of those for whose safe guidance they are immediately responsible to a helpless ignorance of truth-an ignorance all the more fatal because false interpreataions are obtruded in season and out of season with an unscrupulous object-to procure apostasy i.e. conversion from Judaism.Hence this version accomplished by a learned and conscientious Hebraist i.e. Leeser has found acceptance from all denominations. In the 10-page 1856 Preface Leeser explains in detail the need for his new translation giving many examples from earlier Christian translations of what we would today call "Christian bias." Leeser here acknowledges recent partial Jewish translations noting "Hitherto-at least before the completion of the first edition of this work two years ago-no other translation in the English had been completed by Jews although several had been commenced; for instance Dr. Raphall's and Mr. A. De Sola's and Mr Lindenthal's book of Genesis with Hebrew text and ample notes and Dr. Benische's version with Hebrew text to the end of the Second Book of Kings." OCLC 233529725 locates 4 copies worldwide U Illinois Andrews U Community of Christ MO UPenn of an "1853" edition published in "Cincinnati ; Chicago : from the American Hebrew Pub. House the Bloch Pub. and Print. Co." with 1243 pages and 17 cm high ours is 16 cm. However the OCLC listing notes neither the "Advertisement to the London Edition" nor Leeser's Preface of 1856 both of whose pagination does not affect that of the main text. Such was the enmity between Leeser and leaders of the Reform movement that it would seem surprising that Leeser would authorize a Bloch publication of his bible during his lifetime given that Bloch was owned by Isaac M. Wise' brother-in-law Edward Bloch. Only a year after the date of the preface in our copy Leeser famously printed an "anonymous attack on Wise signed 'Lawyers' in the pages of his Occident shortly after the appearance of Minhag Amerika in 1857. Leesers' anti-Reform rejoinder singled out Bloch & Co. for allegedly keeping its store open on the Jewish Sabbath and closing it on Sunday the Christian Sabbath." Singerman. In our Bloch copy the copyright is still held by Isaac Leeser; It was not until 1888 20 years after Leeser's death in 1868 that "his Bloch's firm obtained the copyright of this popular and frequently reprinted landmark text." Neither Singerman nor Goldman list any edition published by Bloch before 1884. Singerman Nr 1418 and Goldman Nr 13 both list a similar edition 1856 published in Philadelphia by C. Sherman & Son also with the 1856 Preface and identical pagination and physically smaller than the 1853 ed.with a new preface by Leeser." Goldman specifically writes that the "Advertisement to the London Edition" does not appear until an 1865 edition is "published in London in 5625 1865 by Trubner & Co. printed by John Childs and Son. Explaining the need for a new translation in the prefatory 'advertisement' the publisher criticized the standard King James Version authorized by the English Church for being flawed with 'abundant cases of false rendering' and 'propagandist tendencies.' They thus chose to issue Leeser's translation despite the existence of English translations by Christians because "this version accomplished by a learned and conscientious Hebraist has found acceptance from all denominations." This may be a previously unrecorded stereotype reissue of Trubner's London edition by Bloch issued with the 1853 Copyright date the 1856 Preface and the undated Advertisement though its mid-19th Century binding with black leather spine label would not be much later than 1880. Some pencil underlining to Advertisement and Preface with small owner's stamps and pulling as well. Gutter margin at title page is thin and crowds the title page text see photo.

Edition originale. Issu d'une famille de huguenots français réfugiés en Prusse, pasteur, professeur, journaliste, détenteur de la chaire de philosophie puis devenu doyen de l'Académie de Berlin, Johann Heinrich Samuel Formey (1711-1797) occupa une position clef dans l'Europe culturelle de son temps. Spécialiste et introducteur de Christian Wolff en France, défenseur modéré des Lumières, il fournit plusieurs articles à l'Encyclopédie (dont "Dieu") tout en entretenant des rapports parfois difficiles avec Voltaire et les Encyclopédistes. Cet ouvrage contient le recueil de vingt-deux essais philosophiques dont certains avaient paru séparément: la liberté, le sommeil, les songes ("l’un de ses écrits les plus remarquables"), le suicide, l'usure, la matière, le bonheur, les preuves de l'existence de Dieu, "la réformation de la justice", la "physique appliquée à la morale", etc. (Haag, V, p. 144, n° 54. Cf. E. Marcu, 'Un encyclopédiste oublié: J.-H.S. Formey'). Quelques brunissures et petites auréoles éparses. Bon exemplaire, bien relié à l’époque.
