Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Presumed first edition (SD; NAP) . Hardcover, 4x6 inches, original full tan leather, leather spine label, 306 pp. Good+. Corners bumped with a bit of cardboard exposed there, open cracks along length of front and rear joints, 1/4 inch chip off lower corner of spine label. Internally, foxed throughout, a bit of a wave to textblock, light tan stain on half the rear endpaper which affects approximately 20 to 30 adjoining leaves, otherwise tight, clean and unmarked. Consists of biographical preface in which it is noted that Mrs Patten was daughter of Rev Eleazer Wheelock, founder and president of Dartmouth College and was taught by sisters of Jonathan Edwards, followed by the letters, by Mrs Patten and others, which, sadly seem to be in no particular order, and extend from ca. 1764 through 1844. Most deal with religious and family matters, and are an interesting glimpse into conservative New England religious thought. A few concern other events, such as an account of the Battle of Lexington-Concord and shelling of Roxbury, Massachusetts, a storm at sea, in which items purchsed in England for Dartmouth are lost, a major fire in Hartford, notices of people moving west, and an undated essay, "The Grave Yard" about a funeral. History; Americana; biography; American Revolution.

Descrizione dello Store

Nestled in a valley in the Endless Mountains, where the temperature can dip below freezing even in mid-June, sits Frost Pocket Farm. While our harvest of organic produce may be subject to the whims of nature, the crop of books is always a good one. The selection is as varied as the interests of its proprietor. A native of NYC, who dissipated his youth and more mature years in used bookstores and reading, as well as earning degrees in history, biology, banking and counseling plus studying 2 years at the University of Paris, he is constantly acquiring quaint and curious volumes, as well as the more mundane, on every imaginable subject. Low overhead means low prices geared towards the trade and the savvy retail client. To the extent possible, we use recycled packaging material (economy and ecology are both dervied from the same Greek root), and all books are shipped in corrugated cardboard. Every attempt is made to accurately describe the books, including their faults, and everything is completely guaranteed! (Sorry, we are strictly mail order, and due to insurance and other concerns cannot accomodate visitors.) On-line booksellers since 1996; ancient for this business!
