1842réf. 45847Louisville: J. Eliot & Co.'s Power Press 1842. Arguing for a Second Indian Territory A scarce report by this Baptist organization tasked with ameliorating the condition of indigenous Americans through missions and education. Progressive-minded missionary Isaac McCoy was a leader of the group and one of the appendices contains a seven-page report by McCoy "on the propriety of forming in the Valley of the Mississippi an American Indian Mission Association." This Association was indeed founded later in the year in Louisville with McCoy as director. Aside from evangelism the other chief aim of the Association was the establishment of another Indian Territory in the West. OCLC locates twelve copies of this work. Dbd.

1792réf. 8953Newburyport MA: John Mycall 1792. Hard Cover. Good binding. 12mo. 288 pp. Early printing. Originally issued with Watts's "Hymns and Spiritual Songs" not present here though the Psalms are complete. In recent cloth with tasteful printed paper label. Only light soiling to the binding; contents toned and foxed; a few leaves with some wear and chipping to the margins or corners; a solid copy with an illegible early owner name "Burlington August 1818 / University of Vermont." Mycall's revision of Watts's psalter was first issued in 1781. In it Mycall removed all references to Great Britain and King George exchanging them with references to the nascent United States—a significant declaration in its own right and one that really captures the fervor of the revolutionary American. Ezra Stiles that monumental American theologian and president of Yale describes Mycall's edition in his diary entry for 8 December 1781 calling it "well adapted to the Church in America." Though there are several psalms that were revised by Mycall Stiles specifically points to 75th Psalm titled: "Power and government from God alone Applied to the glorious revolution in America July 4th 1776." Verse 2 reading: "America was was sic doom'd a slave / Her frame dissolv'd her fears were great; / When God a right'ous Council gave / To bear the pillars of the State." An early but post-revolution imprint of this important revolutionary psalter. Evans 23106; ESTC W4416; The Literary Diary of Ezra Stiles. New York 1901. Vol II p. 571. John Mycall unknown

1798réf. 69154Connecticut: Printed for the Travelling Booksellers 1798. An Unsophisticated Copy with Contemporary American Provenance A rare early American printing of the apocryphal autobiography of Ambrose Gwinett a popular adventure narrative in the United States and Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The true first publication date and author have never been established although DNB attributes authorship to Isaac Bickerstaff noting a copy at the British Museum bearing the following notation from an early owner: "Dr. Percy told me that he had heard that this pamphlet was a mere fiction written by Mr. Bickerstaffe the dramatic poet." Isaac Bickerstaff 1733–1812 was an Irish playwright and librettist whose farces and comic operas were popular in the late 18th century. The earliest dated edition is 1770 and the earliest American editions include a Boston printing from 1782 located in only one copy at the Library of Congress and Norwich & Philadelphia printings from 1784. Although there is no place of publication on the present copy a comparison against a copy of The Prodigal Daughter Hartford: For the Travelling Booksellers 1799 supports the attribution to an American printer most compellingly in the use of the same type and design for both imprint lines. The last page bears the ownership signature of the teenage David Sikes Jr. 1788–1864 a descendent of Richard Sikes one of the first colonial settlers of Suffield Connecticut: "David Sikes Jr.Of Suffield Connecticut Feb 14 1803." ESTC and OCLC locate copies at the American Antiquarian Society Library Company of Philadelphia Cornell and Yale University and there is one copy of this edition recorded in Rare Book Hub at a Henkels sale in 1916.
