Estimate: 0 ** Our online-only "Bookworm" auctions are not to be confused with our regular live auctions. The post-sale process is simplified for Bookworm sales: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BID, WIN, AND WAIT FOR YOUR PACKAGE. Please do not call or email after the sale before reading the information below: 1) This is an ONLINE-ONLY TIMED AUCTION with soft close, with bidding available only through our website in partnership with HiBid. 2) ALL WINNING INVOICES, INCLUDING SHIPPING, WILL BE CHARGED TO THE BIDDER'S CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD TWO TO THREE DAYS AFTER THE AUCTION. For those who wish to pick up their lots, please let us know no more than 3 days after the sale or we will ship. A copy of your invoice (stamped "Paid") will be in the box with your books. 3) YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING THE CORRECT SHIPPING ADDRESS IN YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT INFORMATION PRIOR TO THE SALE'S CLOSING (we will NOT see any address updates you make in your account AFTER the sale has closed, so this info must be updated beforehand.) Update your info by logging in and using the drop-down menu next to your name (top of page) to find the "Account Info" page; once there, simply make any changes needed, and click "Save Account Info" at the bottom of the page. 4) Lots will close approximately 30 seconds apart with a 3 minute soft close to prevent "sniping."

ALSO, remember that only your online-only Bookworm purchases are charged automatically to your card; so if you win items in the regular live sale, you will receive a separate invoice with instructions for payment. 7) IF YOU'VE MADE IT THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR READING!

At the time of the "Great Awakening" under Edwards and Whitefield, Chauncy was initially a supporter and then felt compelled to condemn the "Whitefieldian emotional extravagance” in his Seasonable Thoughts on the State of Religion in New England, 1743, which was a direct a response to Jonathan Edwards's Some Thoughts Concerning the Present Revival of Religion in New England (1742). That said, he was committed to the preaching of Christ and resisted the attempts of the Anglican church to make entrance back into Boston before, during, and after the American Revolution. He passed away in 1787, this being his final work. In it, he examines Adam's fall from grace and the implications of Adam's sin for the world and the individual. It is scarce in the trade.

Walker, Evans & Cogswell Co. 1914. 784pp. Thomas Smyth was sent by Charles Hodge to Charlestown, South Carolina to fill in in the 1830's. It was a great fit. He was the pastor of a prominent Presbyterian church and owned a growing book collection of some 20,000 volumes. He was a famed bibliomaniac. His wife was not. She sold half is collection to Columbia without his consent. He also had a penchant for lengthy exposition. His church installed a tube from the back of the sanctuary to the pulpit so the choir master could tell him when he was going too long. Then, the Civil War. He was a moderate to lukewarm anti-slavery Presbyterian, believing that slavery as an institution was evil, but necessary as a Christianizing nursery that would eventually mature black Americans and they could "graduate" into society. Tough position to hold in Charleston, South Carolina where 25% of all African Americans could trace their lineage to as slaves, seat of the Secession, and one of the most radical Confederate cities in the South.

He was then put in command of the Waree. During severe weather, he ran her aground on a sand bar, the entire ship had to be abandoned, sailors swimming to shore, and the boat was lost to the sea.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 John Dixon. The Twin Brothers: being the Lives of John and James Dixon Born at Naworth Park, near Brampton. Embellished with Plates. Carlisle: Printed for the Author by Geo. Irwin, 1823. 95, [1]pp., 12mo. Engraved frontispiece in two panels showing the identical twins, by J. M’Millan, Carlisle, and a plate of “the widowed mother with the author and his brother when infants,” with the half-title, and on the last page an erratum and colophon; first and last leaves dusty, and a couple of leaves carelessly opened. Entirely untrimmed, staple-stabbed into cloth-backed boards (the boards themselves possibly original). “Fourth edition, with Various Improvements,” the text here rewritten, according to the author, after selling a total of 4,000 copies of the first three editions. The plan to publish the lives of the identical twin brothers was originally conceived by John Dixon as a means of raising the £500 he needed to get permission to emigrate to New South Wales. But the success of this little book changed his mind: “when a man is fairly set afloat, there is no place better than glorious Old England.” The book seems to have been astonishingly successful, giving both twin brothers the capital to live respectable lives, with John buying land and James becoming a country auctioneer. All editions are now very rare: there was a 24th edition printed in Carlisle in 1835, and American editions including a stated 34th in Lockport, New York as late as 1847, but there seems to be no record of any edition before the fifth of 1824.

Shallaber, i.e. Mrs. Partington, was the editor of America's first humor magazine and has been called the "torch-bearer" of the American humor movement in the mid-1800s.

The article was The Dandy Frightening the Squatter [1852]. His periodical as well as many of his works employed the carpet bag or grip-sack as a metaphor for a bag of “who knows what.” Snake oil salesmen, home remedies, wigs woven in France . . . it was a metaphor for the absurdities of the traveling salesmen of the mid-19th century. These also feature in Twain’s writings via the "carpetbaggers," etc. Copies of any of his works are scarce, and this a particularly fine example, inscribed by the author to Dr. J. L. M.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 Hitler, Adolf. My Battle (Mein Kampf). Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1933 [1937]. Second American Edition. 297pp. A very scarce second American edition of My Battle (Mein Kampf) by Adolf Hitler, in the publisher's exceptionally scarce and controversial dustjacket, on which Dorothy Thompson pens her nearly glowing recommendation of the book and its author. Includes frontispiece portrait. The modified second edition dustjacket elicited a diplomatic protest from the German government. The first run was already controversial. It was 7,603 copies, priced at $3.00. It met with moderate commercial success but elicited condemnation from Jewish American groups across the United States. By 1937, Houghton Mifflin decided to risk a second edition, with a retail price of $2.50 [as here] and the updated dustjacket containing a provocative quote by columnist Dorothy Thompson on the back panel and illustrated with the colors of the Weimar Republic. The dust jacket resulted in a diplomatic protest from the German government, demanding that it be replaced with an approved design from the German publisher Eher Verlag, but Houghton Mifflin refused. Dustjacket, the only means by which the rare second edition can be located, is chipped with some light losses, retaining the identifying "$2.50" on flap. Binding and hinges are sound. Light soiling to cloth. 1938 discrete pen inscription on ffep. Textually crisp and clean. 8vo, hardcover in jacket, Good.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 Gabriel, Charles H. [Homer Rodeheaver]. Old Black Sam. A Vision of Slavery Days. Chicago. The Rodeheaver Company. 1912. Exceptionally scarce and controversial concert musical by evangelical hymnists Charles Gabriel and Homer Rodeheaver. It apparently enjoyed very little success, likely because of its awkward “middle ground.” It in some ways perpetuated southern narratives about happy slaves and good masters, but was also decidedly anti-slavery. The mood in the country at the time was more in tune with Birth of a Nation, released in 1915, or moving toward full societal equality. In Dungan and Yeo’s biography of Rodeheaver, the work is described as “a concert musical for narrator, chorus, and piano. The music came from Stephen Foster, white gospels songs, and Frederic Chopin; no folk [black] spirituals were employed. Told through the voice of a dying slave, Sam adopts a stereotypical house servant persona, speaks in broken dialect, and gives the audience an idealized description of his slave master, ‘He know dis nigga’d die for him mos’ any day,’ Sam says, and claims his master was ‘de kindest one a darkey ever knew.’ Taken as a whole, the production laments the tragedy of slavery but also romanticizes its history, resurrecting the old lie of Jefferson Davis, that slaves were ‘peaceful and contented laborers.’” 12mo, original printed wrappers, Very Good.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 Jay, John. The Great Conspiracy. And Address Delivered at Mt. Kisco Westchester County, New York, On the 4th of July, 1861, The Eighty-Fifth Anniversary of American Independence. New York. James G. Gregory. 1861. 50pp. Very rare address issued less than 60 days after the opening of the Civil War and on the occasion of the Fourth of July. For Jay, this could not have been a more appropriate occasion. The Revolution freed America from British tyranny. The Civil War would free America from British meddling. According to Jay, there would be no Civil War without England. England only benefited from a weakened United States and by the continuation of slavery. The agitation around slavery kept American goods cheap on the exchange and provided large supplies of cotton and tobacco at affordable prices because of cheap slave labor. England may have ended her own slavery, but they didn't mind benefiting from it in America. According to Jay, there were spies, mis-information, and a plot that went to the Crown itself to keep America embroiled in a Civil War. Jay was head of the Antislavery Society of New York, a signal supporter of the Underground Railroad, defending fugitive slaves in court cases, etc., Last auctioned, 1956.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 Davis, Almond H. The Female Preacher, or Memoir of Salome Lincoln, afterwards the Wife of Elder Junia S. Mowry. Providence. Published by Elder J. S. Mowry. 1843. 162pp. Salome Lincoln Mowry [1807-1841] was an important and early female Baptist preacher. Showing up to attend a religious meeting in 1827, to which the scheduled preacher was unable to come, she decided to deliver the sermon herself. Afterwards, despite some opposition, she continued preaching around Massachusetts and other parts of New England. Her memoir, compiled by Almond Davis, presents her as an egalitarian preacher even though she was a member of the Baptist church: “Her labors were not confined … to any particular denomination. She was not possessed with narrow contracted sectarian views, it was not congenial with her nature. Whenever, or wherever she found the image of Christ, soul mingled with soul, and to such a one, she felt that she was bound by a chord stronger than earthly, and by ties dearer than those which unite parties, sects and denominations; and with such a one, though she might differ on some minor points, she could heartily join, in carrying forward all the benevolent enterprises of the day. Her’s [sic] was a Divine mission; her credentials she received from the Prince of princes, and to his tribunal alone she stood accountable.” (p. 92) 16mo, period cloth (spine with insect damage), contents with typical foxing, Fair+ to Good-.

Estimate: 1 – 1000 Fitch, Elijah. The Beauties of Religion. A Poem. Addressed to Youth. In Five Books. By Elijah Fitch. Providence [R.I.]. Printed by John Carter. 1789. 129 pp. A fascinating work by an important Rhode Island divine, and author of influential Flight of the British Troops, March 4, 1776, issued in Boston in the same year [1776]. In an extended volume of verse, Fitch explores two important themes, perhaps more critical in light of the losses of the Revolution. The first is where wisdom is to be found in the world. Underlying his writing is a conviction that the goodness of God is evident in created structures of beauty, nature, family, the church, good government, etc., and that following wisdom leads to a good life and society. The second idea he explores is in tension with the first. Wisdom doesn’t always lead to the good life in the present, though it “often” does. So he holds the goodness of materiality, while arguing against its idolatry. The final line of his introduction says it clearly, the works contains Directions how to make both worlds our own. . . though again with caveats on the limits of this world. 12mo, period 1/c calf, Good+.

Bela Marsh. 1859. 119pp. Very scarce work, the second of two on the subject, by noted abolitionist and women's rights advocate, Henry Clarke Wright [1797-1870], arguing for the sexual rights of married women. Clarke argued that marriage did not imply the right of the man to impose unwanted sex and the resultant pregnancy on his wife against her will, and called "unwilling maternity" "the greatest outrage one human being can perpetrate on another." Wright also blamed the rise in abortions among married women on "selfishly sensual husbands" who essentially raped their wives. It was not until 1978 [Oregon v. Rideout] that the first man was found guilty of raping his wife. Prior to 1976, the crime did not exist according to American jurisprudence because of a "marital exception" to the legal code. 12mo, disbound, Good.

She died at just 34 years old, her tombstone reading, "I Still Live." The present, published just after her death, is a fascinating piece of abolitionist writing. In it, she riffs on her phrase, "I Still Live," and uses it variously to describe the Founding Fathers who speak to her, America who shall yet fulfill her destiny of liberty for all, including slaves, and as a word of hope for the spirits of those killed during the opening battles of the Civil War. 12mo, original wrappers stained, Fair+.
