Dow, Lorenzo (1777-1834).
The Opinion of Dow; or, Lorenzo's Thoughts, on Different Religious Subjects, in an Address to the People of New England.
Windham, [Connecticut]: Printed by J. Byrne, 1804. 1804. - 16mo, 5-7/8 inches high by 3-5/8 inches wide. Early full marbled tan calf. The covers are rubbed, scuffed and stained. 164 pages. The front hinge is cracked and the book is lacking the front endpaper. The pages are toned and the first and last few pages are more heavily darkened. A good, complete collated copy. First edition. The eccentric itinerant American evangelist Lorenzo Dow (1777-1834) is said to have preached to more people than any other of his period. A sickly child, Dow was inspired by "religious speculations" in his youth. He joined the Methodist church and joined the Connecticut conference as a circuit preacher. Dow, known to own but one set of clothes and whose long hair and beard were said to "never having met a comb" traveled on foot and horseback throughout the United States, sometimes with his wife Peggy Dow. He carried little else with him except a box of Bibles which he would give away as well as the little money he earned which he would give to the poor. Although preaching a Methodist doctrine, Dow also traveled to preach in England and Ireland as a missionary to the Catholics of that country. A controversy surrounding his introduction of camp meetings to England resulted in the formation of the Primitive Methodist Society. Dow would preach anywhere he could gather a crowd, often announcing a year in advance where and when he would appear. He shouted, screamed, cried, begged, flattered, insulted and challenged people while recounting stories and joking. Dow, who preached against atheism, deism, Calvinism and Universalism, was also a fierce abolitionist and his sermons were often unpopular in the South. Shaw: American bibliography 6190. Good .

Newbury, [Vermont.]: Printed by Nathaniel Coverly, near the Court-House, 1796. 1796. Newbury, [Vermont.]: Printed by Nathaniel Coverly, near the Court-House, 1796. 1796. Fair. - Octavo, bound in full early brown calf with simple blind rules on the spine. The leather is quite rubbed and scuffed. The pagination is as follows: viiii [i.e. ix], [i] and 11-148. The hinges are cracked and there is evidence of minor early worming to the front edge of the front pastedown. The pages are darkened and foxed with some minor staining to the front edges. A rare Newbury, VT imprint. [Ref.: McCorison, M.A. Vermont, 387]. Although not indicated in the imprint, the book was most probably printed by Nathaniel Coverly, Junior. His father, Nathaniel Coverly, Senior, was active as a printer from 1767-1805. His son joined him in the business in 1795. Nathaniel Coverly, Jr. opened his printing office in Newbury, VT in 1796. He opened his shop near the courthouse in the hope that he would attract printing business from the lawyers and others populating that part of the city. Unfortunately, the court was moved to Chelsea in 1796. By September 1798 Coverly was trying to sell his Newbury business. An ad in the Salem Gazette read: "To be Sold, Cheap". Apart from his newspaper business it would appear that he published very few books in Newbury. According to a "Checklist of the Publications of Nathaniel Coverly and Son, 1767-1825" by Kate Van Winkle Keller, published by the American Antiquarian Society in 2008, he printed only 5 books in Newbury, Vermont. RARE. Fair .

(Fosdick, Harry Emerson). Preston, John Hyde (1906-1980).
The Man Fosdick and the Riverside Idea": A Complete Autograph Manuscript Penned in Ink by John Hyde Preston About the American Pastor Harry Emerson Fosdick. Together with a Typed Letter Signed by Fosdick and Several Pages of the Subsequent Typed Manuscript with Autograph Annotations and Corrections by Fosdick.
Riverside, Connecticut, 1929. 1929. - Quarto, 32 pages, each 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. These pages comprise the complete heavily corrected manuscript of an article by John Hyde Preston. The work concerns the American pastor Harry Emerson Fosdick. The manuscript is signed in full "John Hyde Preston" and dated "March 6 - 28, 1929" in New York City. Included are an additional 10 single-sided typed pages consisting of pages 1 through 4, a single page numbered "4-10" and another numbered "5-11", page 11, and pages 21 through 23. Fosdick has penciled in numerous corrections and suggestions on pages 2 ("Please make this struggling sentence behave!"), 3 (Dr. Fosdick was "faced with the dilemma: Subscribe to the Westminster Confession or leave the pulpit. He left." The pages numbered "4-10" and those numbered "11", "21", "22", and "23" are heavily edited by Fosdick. The 32 handwritten pages of Preston's original version, with corrections throughout, was an even more devoted and passionate draft. Preceding the manuscript is a letter signed by Harry Emerson Fosdick consisting of 300 words typed on his "Park Avenue Baptist Church" stationery dated April 24, 1929. Having received the manuscript, Fosdick writes that "Of course, it is embarrassing to a modern man to read an article like this about himself. You are an artist yourself and you have made me in your own image.." He goes on: "I have taken the liberty of marking up your manuscript with great freedom, supposing that is what you wanted me to do.." Signed in full "Harry Emerson Fosdick". All of the pages are in generally very good condition except for page 22 of the typed draft which has substantial staining with damage to the brittle bottom edge of the sheet not affecting the text. A broadside card of a hymn by Harry Emerson Fosdick, which has been published in 143 hymnals over the years, is also included. The 7 inch high by 3-1/2 inch wide broadside, published circa 1930, is printed on card stock. The hymn in 5 stanzas to be sung to the tune "CWM RHONDDA" composed in 1907 by the Welsh composer John Hughes, begins: "God of grace and God of glory, / On thy people pour thy power; / Crown thine ancient church's story; / Bring her bud to glorious flower. / Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, / For the facing of this hour..". There is a crease to the card's bottom corner. Also included is a typed letter to John Hyde Preston signed by an editor at World's Work, a Doubleday, Doran and Company publication, dated April 23, 1929. The letter mentions the "Fosdick article" for which he will receive a check in payment. A version of Preston's article was published in the November 1929 issue of "World's Work". A central figure in the "Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy" which took place within American Protestantism in the 1920's and 30s, Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878-1969) was one of the most prominent liberal ministers of the period. Although a Baptist, he served as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Manhattan's West Village and subsequently as pastor of the inter-denominational Riverside Church in Morningside Heights. Fosdick viewed the Bible, not as the literal word of God but as a record of the unfolding of God's will. Investigated by the General Assembly of the Old Presbyterian Church, Fosdick avoided censure by resigning from New York's First Presbyterian Church to become pastor of the Park Avenue Baptist Church. An avid opponent of racism and injustice Fosdick was instrumental in persuading Ruby Gates to testify for the defense in the 1933 retrial of the Scottsboro Boys, the nine black youths who were tried before all-white juries for allegedly raping 2 white women (Ruby Bates and Victoria Price). Martin Luther King, Jr. regarded Fosdick as "the greatest preacher of this century" and frequently drew on passages and themes from Fosdick's sermons. In his 1958 memoir "Stride Toward Freedom", King's inscription for Fosdick reads: "If I were called upon to select the foremost prophets of our generation, I would choose you to head the list.

The platform enumerates 3 important rights, calling for "Total Separation of Church and State, to be guaranteed by amendment of the United States Constitution.." "National Protection for National Citizens, in their equal civil, political, and religious rights.." and "Universal Education the Basis of Universal Suffrage in this Secular Republic: to be guaranteed by amendment of the United States Constitution.." In his preface, Pastor G.E. Gordon writes "This address was prepared in the spirit of a resolution passed by a Conference of Independent Religious Societies held at Janesville, in December, 1877." and asserts that "The address is published by the Milwaukee Liberal League with the consent of the author." The National Liberal League of the United States, founded in 1876, was one of the first national organizations to advocate for the separation of church and state and freedom of religion. Robert G. Ingersoll, Francis E. Abbott, and Elizur Wright were among some of those who served as the League's officers. Good .

First edition.

Edward Dorr Griffin was a Christian minister and American educator, who served as President of Williams College from 1821 to 1836. He was disliked in many quarters for his strict Calvinistic views. In 1811, he became the first pastor of Park Street Church in Boston where he preached a prominent series of sermons [of which this is one] opposing the New Divinity. This system of Christian theology, which came to the fore in New England in the later eighteenth century, had its roots in the published and unpublished writings of Jonathan Edwards. It was also known as the "Edwardean Divinity" and as "Hopkinsianism", after Samuel Hopkins. It modified several tenets of Calvinism, most notably the notion of free will and original sin, the nature of the atonement of Jesus, and his righteousness being imputed to believers.
