Description
Hartford: Elisha Babcock, 1785. First edition. Acceptable. Octavo (17 cm); [viii], 304 pages. LACKS errata leaf at end. 'L' signature marking present. Contemporary full sheep, worn away at edges. Upper board detached but present. Pages toned, with occasional spots. Text block strong. References: BAL 5040; Evans 18996; Sabin 21548; Sowerby 4304. Called "America's first epic poem," the narrative is a "roman a clef" in which Joshua's conquest of Canaan suggests the struggle under Washington. Contemporary events and characters are mentioned throughout the work. Called "an audacious attempt to give the New World an epic such as the Iliad was to Greece, and the Aeneid, to Rome" --DAB V, 575
