1819réf. 24603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" Sabin. AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S. Van Winkle unknown books

To which are prefixed an introductory dissertation on the origin history and connection of the languages of western Asia and of Europe and a concise grammar of the English language. In two volumes. New York: Published by S. Converse. Printed by Hezekiah Howe. 1828. First edition one of only 2500 copies. Two large quarto volumes 10 3/4 x 8 7/8 inches; 274 x 226 mm. Engraved frontispiece portrait the portrait of Webster painted by S.F.B. Morse by A.B. Durand printed by J.R. Burton. Tissue guard for portrait. With the final leaf of "Additions" and "Corrections" at the end of Volume II which is often lacking. Together with Rare autograph leaf from the original draft of Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language. One leaf with manuscript in brown ink on recto and verso 8x 10 inches; 250 x 200 mm. This rare manuscript page from his work presents definitions from "Biped" to "Bird." Other words present include "Bipedial" "Bipetalous" "Biquadrate" "Biquintile" "Biradiated" and "Birch." This leaf from Webster's draft manuscript shows his processes of careful editing. For "Birch" he wrote out and then crossed off an entire paragraph that read in part: "This word is probably the same as bark; from the great use of birch barks among savage nations the name was transferred to the tree as was the name of beech to another species of tree." Webster substituted this deleted passage with text nearly identical to what saw print in 1828: "A genus of trees known technically under the name Betula of which there are four or five species; as the white or common birch-the dwarf birch-the Canada birch of which there are several varieties & the black birch." The Pierpont Morgan Library holds most of Webster's manuscript which runs some 450 leaves; however early on leaves from the "A" and "B" sections were separated. All leaves that ever appeared for sale came from A & B. Two volumes uniformly bound in contemporary full dark brown sheep. Spines ruled in gilt with original black and red morocco spine labels lettered in gilt. Marbled endpapers. Edges speckled brown. Some rubbing and scuffing to boards. Corners have been renewed on each volume. Some light dampstaining to portrait leaf just barely touching the engraving. Some dampstaining to endpapers. Overall a very good set with a wonderful manuscript leaf. Each volume housed in a chemise and blue quarter morocco clamshell box.
