1793réf. List2998Charlestown Ohio County Virginia now Brooke County West Virginia 1793. Single two-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds some holes intersecting with text; overall excellent. A letter from Isaac Prince Robbins 1770-1846 in what is now West Virginia to his parents Rev. Chandler Robbins 1738-1799 and Jane Prince 1740-1800 in Plymouth Massachusetts. Isaac Robbins was likely teaching in the area as he mentions the "price of my school" and that the oncoming spring had "call'd the larger scholars away" to farm. He also notes that smallpox had been running through the area and inquires about the family's health as they had contracted the disease the previous October. Robbins also informs his family that there is "No prospect of peace while the Indians commit depredations as frequent as they do. Kill'd and took seven families at a station 30 miles this side Lymestone Kentucky Landing". It is not clear whether he is referring to "Hartshorne's defeat" part of the Northwest Indian War where the Northwestern Confederacy attacked Euro-American settlers near Limestone now Maysville-this attack occurred in 1790 though it is possible that Robbins had not contacted his family since prior to this event. He closes by ruminating on his own sin telling his parents "I have erred and gone astray point out to me the way that I shall ask forgiveness whereby I can be saved." This letter probably predates Isaac Robbins' following in his father's footsteps and becoming a minister. Of interest to historians of the settlement of West Virginia and related conflicts with Indigenous tribes. unknown

Virginia Woolf was an amateur bookbinder who bound or re-covered books throughout her adult life both for herself and for others. It is not known what motivated her to engage in bookbinding but she was a publisher who set type and sewed the hand-printed books of her publishing house. She may have done binding as a creative outlet as her books exhibited enthusiasm rather than skill. OCLC: 46648822. Cecil Woolf unknown

1812réf. 11315New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare For Weller & Meeker Newark 1812. A New Edition Corrected. Hardcover. Fair. Full calf bottom board detached spine with two cracks cloth visible beneath the backstrip from an old repair boards quite worn 7 x 4 1/2 inches. "Matthias Baker's Book" in black ink on the ffep ink name stamp of the same above it. 1-299 1; 1-264; counted and complete. A couple of loosening signatures text is generally in good condition. The book begins with an extract of the Life of Isaac Watts from Johnson's Lives of the Poets. The hymnal has its own title page and page numbers the imprint is New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare 1812; as with the Psalms the title page has "A New Edition Corrected." Watts is printed as the author on the title page of the hymns but not on the Psalms although they are an adaptation of Watts nonetheless.This is Joel Barlow's revision of Watts approved by the Presbyterian Synod of New York and Philadelphia in 1787 and later printed without the Presbyterian name to broaden the customer base. It is also the "Corrected" Edition see Benson The American revisions of Watts's Psalms p. 15."A final series of editions of Barlow's revision needs mention. These began as early as 1812 and consist in each case of the Psalms and Hymns bound together in one volume each with its own title and each described as "corected." The constitutes the only variance in the title of the Psalms and there appears to be little variance in the text. The corrections are rather in the line of restorations of verses or even whole versions of Psalms as given by Watts but which Barlow had chosen to omit. In some editions a brief 'Life of Watts' is included." - Benson.With a signed provenance card from the music collection of A. Merril Smoak Jr. DWS.
