Andover / New York, Flagg, Gould and Newman / J. Leavittoratio BardwellPublished by Flagg, Gould and Newman, Andover, 1834, 1834. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. A perfectly serviceable reference copy of a title exceedingly scarce in the trade; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. Bound in a short 12mo format, bound in publisher's pebbly brown cloth over board, mildly soiled, moderately rubbed, abraded paper title label to spine. xii, 2-260 pp. Fine black-and-white engraving of the denouement of the Good Reverend "At the End of His Labors" in India, tissue-protected. Moderately toned endpapers, else clean and unmarked, mild foxing throughout. Contains a full page frontis with tissue guard, a signature or two very slightly protruding. A fair + copy of a scarce title. David M. Stowe's biography of him says that Gordon Hall (1784-1826), Pioneer Missionary in India, was born in Tolland, Massachusetts, and graduated with highest honors from Williams College in 1808. "Entering Andover Theological Seminary in 1810, he joined the group of students whose enthusiasm for missionary service led to the formation of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions" that same year (A.B.C.F.M.). Hall, Adoniram Judson, Samuel Newell, Samuel Nott, and Luther Rice "sailed from Philadelphia on February 18, reaching Calcutta on August 8" but were refused entry by the authorities of the British East India Company, ended up in Bombay and thus began the first American missionary station overseas. He mastered a local language, married, evangelized, and then provided medical services. After two of their children died, his wife and remaining two sons returned to America in 1825; he then died the following year of cholera (Stowe).Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Giuseppe Baretti

La Frusta Letteraria, Complete in Two Volumes

Milano, Italy, Societa Tipografica de' Classici Italiani, 1838. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Complete in two volumes, wholly in Italian language, blue and tan marbled paper over boards, heavily rubbed, also heavily rubbed paper title labels over spines (spelling his surname "Bareti"), rubbed and scuffed extremities, foxed endpapers, a few scattered ink blotches, but remarkably bright interiors overall. Paulo Caronni's fine black-and-white engraving of Baretti graces the frontis of Volume I. Giuseppe Marc'Antonio Baretti (24 April 1719, Turin, Piedmont – 5 May 1789, London) was something of a polymath, he being fluent in multiple languages and also something of a "literary critic, poet, writer, translator, linguist and author of two influential language-translation dictionaries" (Wikipedia). He was acquitted of murder by fruit-knife, he got in hot water for his translations of the works of Galileo, and started a literary journal of literary criticism, this work here, Frusta Letteraria (Literary Scourge). It was published posthumously but in his lifetime it encountered considerable difficulties. This is the first collection of his important works of literary criticism. Volume I: xviii, 1-479 pp.; [5], 6-489 pp. and including index and note of errata.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Good
