First printing of this edition. First printing of this edition. large octavo, brown cloth with printed spine labels. xiv, 414; 381 pp. American Antiquarian Society, Thomas continued running his printing business until 1802, when he passed it on to his son, Isaiah Thomas, Jr. In his retirement, Isaiah Sr. devoted his energies to writing A History of Printing in America, and founding the American Antiquarian Society, established in 1812. His journals were kept in almanacs, and they now reside in the collections of the American Antiquarian Society. They cover the period from January 1805 to December 1828, with the exception of year 1808. Thomas describes local, regional, and national events, his involvement in the founding of institutions such as the Worcester Bank and the Second Parish, activities of the Masons of which he was the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, and his own social and domestic life. Of particular interest here are his descriptions of travel and his involvement in the development of Massachusetts's infrastructure. This included an active part in the Boston and Worcester Turnpike, of which he was one of the first directors. Thomas's viewpoint provides a vivid depiction of what it was like to travel in the early nineteenth century, as well as the business that underlaid such developments. Ex-Library with rubber stamp on front pastedown and one other page. Pocket removed from back pastedown of both volumes. Shelf label at bottom of each spine. large octavo, brown cloth with printed spine labels.
