"Ninth edition in English. " Quaker Ebenezer Thornton was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island, in 1742, and married Martha (Keith) Cornell (b. 1753) in Scituate in 1767. The couple had five children, all of whom are listed in the family register. Ebenezer died in 1776, while Martha lived well into her 80s, dying in Foster, Rhode Island, in 1842.  On his maternal side, Henry Wood Lothrop (1841-1904) was descended from the Thornton family, being the grandson of Gideon Thornton, the oldest child of Ebenezer and Martha. On his paternal side, as the grandson of Sarah Adams, Lothrop was a direct descendent of John Quincy Adams and lived in the Adams house in Providence for his entire life. Quaker publisher "Joseph Crukshank was born in Philadelphia, and served an apprenticeship with Andrew Steuart [an early Philadelphian newspaper publisher]. He was one of the society of Friends, and printed books for them as well as for his own sales. He opened a printing house in 1769, and soon after a book and stationery store, in Third Street, near Market street, in company with Isaac Collins. Their firm was CRUKSHANK & COLLINS. The partnership continued only one year, when it was dissolved, and Collins removed to Burlington. Crukshank took a good stand in Market street, and traded very considerably...Fair in his dealings, punctual in his payments, and amiable in his manners, he was greatly esteemed by his fellow citizens" (Thomas).

Description
Oakland: Morning Star Press, 1956. Soft cover. Good. Beecher, Barbara. Signed by Author(s). Loose leaf within paper folder, 12-1/2" tall, 24 pp. Leaves are in near fine to fine condition, but the spine of the folder is obliterated, and there is chipping to edges of folder. Complete with colophon and limitation leaves. John Beecher, a descendant of Harriet Beecher Stowe, threw his life away on principle (at least, that's the gist of the final poem, "Reflections of a Man Who Once Stood Up for Freedom.") He had a long and varied career, went through three wives and produced this with the help of his fourth wife, Barbara Beecher, who did the illustrations. Their Morning Star Press would later become the Rampart Press.
