1781réf. 5187Derby CT 1781-1841. Hardcover. Tan calf. Very good. 85 numbered pages. 41 x 16.5 cm. A detailed record of work barter and neighborhood exchange in Revolutionary-era Derby Connecticut. Containing accounts dating as early as 1781 the account book of Moses Hotchkiss 1757-1799 documents the varied labor and practical skills that sustained a community situated at the confluence of the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers. Hotchkiss's entries record carpentry blacksmithing framing shaving shingles butchering shoveling dung picking corn branding whips splitting rails repairing rakes and plows smoking meat and working at cider mills and sawmills. A particularly notable entry records his framing of a "smallpox house" for Edward Craft in 1781. In exchange for his labor he received firewood rye a walnut tree barrels of cider cheese beef sheep lamb leather potatoes turnips flax and other goods. Many receipts bear the signatures of both Hotchkiss and the person with whom he dealt: others record payments made on a neighbor's behalf. Together these transactions offer a closely observed picture of an economy sustained by skilled labor agricultural produce and reciprocal obligations. Hotchkiss had served in the Revolutionary War; a record associated with the July 1779 alarm documents his return of horses used in the Holbrook Company of Militia. The account book also connects him with neighbors identified as Revolutionary War participants including Joseph Loveland Jeremiah "Jere" Burrell Samuel Hall John Coe Capt. Enos Smith Capt. Reuben Tucker and Benjamin Moulthrop the last also a veteran of the French and Indian War. Another associate John Humphreys was the brother of diplomat David Humphreys. The volume later belonged to Clifford L. French 1876-1942 of Derby whose signature appears within. French was the son of Civil War pensioner Samuel Hotchkiss French 1840-1885 and the grandson of Phoebe Hotchkiss French 1814-1886 suggesting that the book descended through the family. The final two pages of entries following the leaf bearing Clifford's signature are in a different hand and date from August 1838 to January 1841. These later accounts chiefly concern farm foodstuffs extending the volume's record of local exchange into the nineteenth century. Unidentified ex-libris bookplate affixed to verso of front cover. Covers heavily rubbed with some loss to spine. hardcover

1752réf. 21730London: A. Millar 1752. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. A significant mid-18th-century synthesis of Newtonian cosmology and Evangelical devotion. Moses Browne a pen-cutter turned clergyman under the influence of James Hervey utilized his 'Essay on the Universe' to harmonize the vastness of the physical 'Creation' with the structured spiritual life detailed in 'Sunday Thoughts.' Published by the influential Andrew Millar this volume represents the transition of British religious poetry from classical patronage toward the deeply personal observational piety that would eventually define the Olney circle. It captures a specific moment in the Georgian era where the 'Astrophil' of the Gentleman's Magazine successfully merged the scientific awe of the universe with the moral requirements of the Christian Sabbath. KEY FEATURES Visuals: Woodcut ornaments and initials. Binding: Period full calf; five raised spine bands; gilt-ruled spine with a contemporary title label. Content: Combines the first major revision of 'An Essay on the Universe' originally 1739 with the popular 'Sunday Thoughts' 1849. Features the 'Christian Sabbath' in three distinct parts. Imprint: A. Millar London. 1752. Specs: 16mo; xiv viii 2 240 pp. CONDITION - Overall Very Good. The Book: Binding is tight and square. Period calf shows light rubbing and a few minor scratches; the rear board has localized spotting from surface rubs. Internally the contents are excellent with clean text and only minimal light foxing or toning in isolated areas. Note: A small singular wormhole is present at the upper corner of the final leaves page 234 through the end not affecting text. A well-preserved and unsophisticated copy. SCHOLARLY FEATURES Cosmological Poetry: 'An Essay on the Universe' is a primary example of 18th-century didactic verse attempting to explain Newtonian physics and astronomy through a theological lens. Evangelical Lineage: Browne was the predecessor to John Newton as the Vicar of Olney; this work provides the early intellectual foundation for the Evangelical revival in the English Midlands. Publishing History: Printed by Andrew Millar the publisher of Fielding and Hume signaling the mainstream commercial appeal of Browne's devotional works by the mid-century. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Moses Browne's trajectory from a struggling pen-cutter to a favored protégé of the Countess of Hertford is a classic Enlightenment success story. This 1752 collection was instrumental in securing his reputation eventually leading to his ordination. By framing the 'Universe' as a subject of both scientific and 'Sunday' contemplation Browne helped bridge the gap between the intellectual elites and the emerging Evangelical middle class setting the stage for the later hymnodal traditions of Cowper and Newton. SUBJECTS: 18th Century Poetry Newtonian Cosmology Evangelical History Christian Sabbath Moses Browne Olney History Poetry Devotional Literature 18th Century Printing.
