Twelve Discourses Comprising a Systematical Demonstration of the Divine Origin of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments
Hartford [Connecticut]: Hudson and Goodwin [Printers], 1799. Original Edition. Leather bound. Original brown leather/boards. Red leather title block on spine; gilt lettering. x, 305 pp. with no illustrations. A good, clean, tight copy, especially considering it's more than 200 years old! Covers and all pages tight with no marks to text. A small, triangular piece is missing from very tail of spine (see photo), and boards are rubbed. Most pages have some age toning to the text bock and/or foxing (to a greater or lesser degree). Former owner's name/date on FFEP (Nathan Goodspeed 1804). The end pages are a bit brittle, but all leaves are nice rag paper so not so prone to tears, of which there are none. A well-loved book. Item #161865
Included is the list of subscribers from New Hampshire (3), Massachusetts (many), Connecticut (10 pages of listings), New York (5), and Vermont (13), listed by state and then county. An excellent historical and genealogical reference and a lovely copy for a descendant of Nathan Goodspeed.
