Description
London: Printed by W. Woodfall, and Sold at the Printing-Office of the Diary, Salisbury-Square, Fleet-Street, 1792. 178 [i.e., 186] pp. As ESTC notes, pages "145-186 misnumbered 137-178." The text is continuous. Widely scattered and generally light foxing. Bound in later dark cloth with gilt-lettered title stamped on spine. About Very Good. Responding to "a GREAT number of PETITIONS, praying for the ABOLITION of the SLAVE TRADE," the House of Commons resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, on motion of Mr. Wilberforce, "to consider the circumstances of the African Slave Trade." Wilberforce opened the debate with an eloquent and lengthy speech, printed in full at pages 4 through 48. He is answered by Mr. Baillie, who has "passed the most active part of my life in the West Indies, having a considerable property, both in land and Negroes," and reminds the House that the slave trade is essential to England's interests. Others speak pro and con, the debate illuminating the diverse viewpoints and issues-- moral, religious, legal, political, economic, geopolitical. LCP 4265. Sabin 19095. ESTC T32168.

Description
Weathersfield, Vermont: Eddy and Patrick, 1814. First Edition. Good. 12mo. 102 pp. (typical foxing, lacking final endleaf). Contemporary scaleboard binding: quarter sheep over scaleboard covered with drab blue paper (binding extremities and corners worn, lower fore-corner bumped and partially defective, back cover stained, with portions of the paper covering and leather worn away, 2" horizontal split in scaleboard). With substantive corrections in the hand of the printer or author on pp. [7], 24 and 27. EARLY AMERICAN SCALEBOARD BINDING ON AN UNCOMMON PROVINCIAL IMPRINT; OUR COPY BEARS CORRECTIONS IN THE HAND OF THE PRINTER OR AUTHOR ON THREE PAGES. THIS UNIVERSALIST TEXT IS QUITE UNKNOWN AND TO OUR KNOWLEDGE HAS NO DIGITAL SURROGATE AND HAS NEVER BEEN REPRINTED. THE BINDING: Scaleboard (a.k.a. scabbard or scabboard) was made from very thin sheets of wood that had been split (going towards the grain) instead of being sawed. Whereas the survival rate of early American scaleboard bindings is not high, owing to their fragile nature, they were once in great abundance, used in place of paste or pulpboard from the 1680s until the mid-nineteenth century, most often on widely disseminated texts such as this one. In the present binding, the grain of the scaleboard is horizontal, a common New England practice. THE AUTHOR: Dutton (1743-1824), a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, was an entrepreneur, road surveyor, justice of the peace, and the founder and treasurer of the town of Cavendish. Dutton was a universalist, but he was no preacher (and was thus exempted from a "preacher tax"). His commitment to education is notably evidenced by his $7500 contribution towards the building of Cavendish Academy. The original Dutton House, built in 1782, still stands and now forms part of the Shelburne Museum. THE PRINTERS: In 1813 the Weathersfield engraver Isaac Eddy purchased from Alden Spooner, of Windsor, an "old press" (erroneously called the Stephen Daye Press), and went into the printing business. Over the next three years he, either alone or in association with his sometime partner, Samuel Patrick, Jr., issued fourteen imprints from the Weathersfield office. (SOURCE: Harold G. Rugg, "Isaac Eddy, Printer-Engraver," Bibliographical Essays, a Tribute to Wilberforce Eames, 1924, pp. 313-329). PROBABLE PROVENANCE: Gertrude Mallary (her sale at University of Vermont conducted by William Parkinson Books, 11/6/2004, lot 135 - likewise lacked the back flyleaf). Scarce in commerce: ours is the ONLY one currently on the market. The Mallary copy (i.e. the present copy?), and the one in the 1915 G.E. Littlefield sale (C.F. Libbie, Nov. 16, lot 2856) are the ONLY ones listed in Rare Book Hub, which currently lists more than 15 million records in the Rare Book Transaction database. McCorison 1599.

Description
[Milwaukee: the company, 1925. Trade catalogue bound with three brass fasteners (28 x 22.5 cm.), forty-two original color-printed cellophane or polyethylene food wrappers, mostly for meat (bacon or sausage) or candy products. Brand names and designs vary greatly. Some of the samples bare the Milprint Protecto-Pack or Millprint Econo-Wrap slug. "Milprint, Inc., was founded by the brothers Max T. ("Popsy") Heller and William ("Billy") Heller as the Milwaukee Printing Company in 1899. Beginning in 1908, they succeeded in developing printing techniques for flexible media used in commercial packaging, at first glassine paper, and then cellophane, foil and polyethylene. The Heller brothers were able to get in at the beginnings of the mass marketing of consumer goods, when individually sealed wrappings implied safety and purity. Their paper wrappings practically made the individual nickel candy bar possible, and the firm dominated the candy wrapper market at an early date. Its in-house artists and designers advised clients on the most effective way to package their products. The Heller brothers also developed "Trans-Vision," a means of depicting complex objects in peel-away layers on transparent film, whose most common use was probably depicting the anatomy of the human body in textbooks. William Heller sold Milprint to Philip Morris Incorporated in 1957" (Hagley Museum, Finding aid for the Leonard Walton collection of Milprint materials). Some leaves at the rear show signs that some samples were removed, and some adhesive corner marks to leaves, otherwise in remarkable condition for a collection of cellophane meat and candy wrappers, with all samples bright and clean. Rare. [OCLC locates no copies, and the Hagley finding aid was (for us), unclear on the presence of this catalogue].
