PRIVATE PRESS OF FRANKLIN P. RICE. TO THE BOOK-LOVERS OF WORCESTER IS DEDICATED THIS TREASURE-HOUSE OF HER PAST. Introduction A RENEWED interest is awakening in local history. Many of our towns and cities have had chroniclers whose duties have been performed with greater or less success accord- ing to their ability or the facilities at their command. But the chronicle stage in historical writing has passed in this country, and we have reached the period which demands a fresh investigation of the facts recorded. The historical method, so universally applied to all questions at the present time, demands a minute search for facts and the conditions bearing upon them, and extreme accuracy in their statement. Indeed, wherever we turn, personal research is found to be the method now employed whether in literature, science or the arts. It is the discovery of the inaccuracies of the past, in con- sequence of this tendency to investigate, which is respon- sible for the awakening of interest in historical study, and in local history in particular, which is conceded to be the foundation of general history. In this reaching after accuracy, no means is too trivial, no source too humble to be neglected. Newspapers are vi Bibliography of Worcester. scanned, play-bills and advertisements are studied ; ser- mons, addresses and reports give up their treasures to the student in the search for the truth of date, fact and opinion. Local bibliography therefore becomes a distinct aid in this method of research, and, while it has not yet taken its true place, the time is now approaching when it will be estimated at its real value. No argument is required to show the importance of a permanent and accessible form for town records and for the early documents of settlement in this new country. Great pains is now being taken to the end of preserving these, and placing them within easy reach of the future historian. But in addition to these statements of the official life and growth of a town there are many occurrences which fail of notice in such records. Broadsides, almanacs, addresses and sermons reflect the opinions of the times, and are as important witnesses of progress as the more formal town record and municipal and court document. Indeed, these precede the more elab- orate record and document, and are of great value in conse- quence, as showing the earlier steps in the formation of public opinion and the beginnings of public movements. It is here that the bibliography of our principal towns may be of great value. Not only do we find reflected in its pages all national, state and local crises, as well as the less serious occasions of interest, but the religious, educational, literary and social growth of the town are represented by the titles, and may be studied within the pages of the books recorded in such collections. Dates of all occur- rences, so important for historical accuracy, are settled beyond peradventure by reference to the titles or contents Introduction. vii of the various volumes and pamphlets thus catalogued. It is not every town that has had its printing press, but even these less favored places will find in the larger cen- tres to which they are tributary, data from which facts, occurrences and records may be verified. Nearly one hundred years passed in the history of the town of Worcester before a press was set up within her borders, and we must look to the printers of Boston for records of our previous history. In 1775, however, after several years of solicitation, a printing press was estab- lished here, and Worcester became the fifth town in Massachusetts with that means of progress and enlighten- ment. This press was brought to us most opportunely, by a man singularly fitted for his work; and ISAIAH Thomas should receive from Worcester gratitude and re- spect, not only for his own labors, but also for the position which his reputation won for our town in the esteem of the country. It would be impossible to see in the earnest patriot of 1775, or in the vigorous man of affairs, with strong con- victions upon every public question, of 1790, or in the cultured writer of the History of Printing of 18 10, that boy of six years, who, with but six weeks' attendance at a village school, was in 1755 apprenticed to Zechariah Fowle of Boston. The tattered dictionary and the ink-stained Bible which he found in that office started him in his career, and the printing press, together with an invincible determination to excel in his calling, carried him onward, until he stands to-day with Franklin and Baskerville, a type of the man viii Bibliography of Worcester. who with few educational advantages succeeds because he loves his art for the art's sake. It is not my intention to give an analysis of his work, but it may not be improper to call attention to a few of the books which his enterprise and industry gave to us. The first book printed in Worcester is made up of evi- dence gathered by the Provincial Congress at Watertown to show that the aggressive was taken by the British troops at Lexington, and copies were sent to King George III. and his ministers to prove that important fact. Copies were also sent to the Governors and Congresses of the other Provinces to show the justice of our cause, and the necessity for immediate and united action. Truly, this book fraught with so great a destiny, is a noteworthy be- ginning of the literature of Worcester ! In 1785 Isaiah Thomas began to reprint a series of Juveniles obtained mainly from the toy-books of Carnan and Newbery of London, which delighted the hearts of thousands of the youth of New England. Many of these books, while preserving the main features of the original, were altered in text, and often admirably adapted to the necessities of their new purchasers. The Bibles printed in 1791 and the years following, were a striking illustration of the wonderful sagacity and untiring energy of this printer. To accomplish the end in view more satisfactorily he brought engravers to Worces- ter, erected a paper mill and established a book-bindery. A touching proof of the discouragements with which he was met in forwarding this work is evidenced by a letter in the possession of the writer, in which he says, " next Introduction. ix week I begin with a heavy heart to print the Folio Edition of my Bible." It was this Folio Bible, the examination of which drew from Benjamin Franklin his involuntary tribute of praise and admiration. A glance at the list of books printed by ISAIAH Thomas and those reprinted by him from the English press will reveal a remarkable range of subjects, and a careful se- lection of the best books of the day upon those subjects, and will be additional proof of his sound judgment and his business enterprise. These and many other undertakings were carried out at a large expenditure of time and money, with much greater uncertainty than is the case with such enterprises at the present time. These works were forwarded in addition to the constant burden of duties as printer, publisher, and often the largest contributor of his newspaper, The Massa- chusetts Spy, the standard of which he raised so high that it was for years one of the most influential papers in the United States. Let me not convey the impression by this extended notice that the first printer of Worcester was the only one of his craft in this town. While this volume is in a meas- ure intended as a memorial of his work in Worcester, subse- quent pages will show a long list of worthy followers of Isaiah Thomas ; indeed, it may be said with pride that the present day finds more than one successfully following his noble example. Broadly speaking the printing of the town of Worcester may be classified into periods as follows: X Bibliograpbp of Worcester. 1. 177s to 1800, in which works devoted to the poli- tical life and educational progress of the country are marked. 2. 1800 to 1825, in which we find the growth of the controversial spirit, in politics partly, but mainly in the religious life of the people. 3. 1825 to 1838, in which the religious education of youth, and the anti-masonic and temperance movements were prominent. 4. 1838 to 1848, in which we find marked the publi- cation of town reports and the multiplication of the news- paper. In each of these periods will be found noteworthy titles, but this preface would exceed its limits were more par- ticular attention given them. The sources from which these titles have been taken include the large library of the American Antiquarian Society, that of The Worcester Society of Antiquity, the Free Public Library of Worcester, the State Library of Massachusetts and the Congregational Library at Boston. The Brinley Catalogue, that of Sabin, and innumerable sale catalogues carefully scanned during the past six years, have furnished titles when the books themselves have not been available. The principle was laid down at the out- set that titles coming from these two sources alone were reliable, and it will be found that few exceptions have been made to this rule. To this list may be added books and titles sent me by many friends of this undertaking, and I take this occasion to acknowledge my gratitude for their kind assistance. Introduction. xi My acknowledgments are due, in particular, to Mr. Franklin P. Rice, without whose ever-ready aid and ex- tensive knowledge of local history this work would not have been possible ; to Mr. Edmund M. Barton, the kindly librarian of the American Antiquarian Society, and Miss Mary Robinson, his assistant, whose time and attention have been frequently taxed in the advancement of this book. In a pioneer work it is hardly reasonable to expect that a full Hst of the printed books of this period has been obtained. It may be said, however, that no pains has been spared to render this work as complete in titles and accurate in statement as is possible under the circum- stances. It is my hope that something of interest and of value to Worcester has been preserved herein, and that to this Bibliography may be applicable those words placed by its founder on the Certificate of the American Antiqua- rian Society, — Olim meminisse juvabii. Worcester, December 22, i8gg. EXPLANATORY. The portrait of Isaiah Thomas is taken from the plate used in Bucking- ham's Reminiscences, and the head- and tail-pieces are copied from books printed by Thomas. As this Bibliography is, in so large a degree, a memorial of the work of our first printer, it seems not inappropriate that these and the facsimiles of title-pages should be confined to Isaiah Thomas and his pro- ductions. Titles have been taken, with few exceptions, from the books themselves or from catalogues. The few exceptions have been added because of strong cir- cumstantial evidence, and their source has been duly recorded. In some cases it has been impossible to secure the first edition, and the title has been taken from the second. If the earlier edition is met with later slight variations may be discovered. In recording the sizes of these books the folding of the signatures has been followed when possible. In uncertain cases, or those of especial importance, the exact size of the copy seen has been noted. Much difficulty has arisen in consequence of the carelessness of the binder in trimming margins, and in ir- regularity of folding by the earlier printers on account of scarcity of paper. In the later years the table of sizes has been employed which is printed in the last edition (1897) °' G. P. Putnam's Authors and Publishers. In PAGINATION the plan has been to separate the introductory matter from the main contents of the book without following the subdivision more minutely. This plan was adopted because the books recorded are more modern, and there- fore more easily obtained and examined than those of the earlier century. Among the older books some irregularity is found through carelessness of the printer or the binder by misprinting, misplacing or omitting pages. When a frontispiece is present it is ordinarily counted as two pages, even when pasted on the cover, as is the case with the Juveniles. - Schema : All numbers inclosed in parentheses represent the number of con- secutive pages not numbered by the printer. + following the number of pages indicates that no perfect copy could be found. Vertical lines represent the principal Hnes in the title, and these have been recorded only in the books printed previous to 1800, and a few more important subsequent titles. Each dot represents a line in the title omitted because of too little importance to elucidate it. Bibliography. 1775- Almanack.

In a sermon published in 1772, he maintained the right of a minister to negative the proceedings of his church. In consequence of the accept- ance of this doctrine several ministers lost their parishes. He was a cousin of the first President Adams, and at one time complained because he had not studied law instead of divinity ; saying, "Is there any reason why I should not have been President as well as my cousin John ?

Samuel Stearns, m. d., ll. d., 1747— 1809, was a native of Lancaster, and resided in Paxton at the beginning of the Revolution. His principles soon brought him into difficulty, and he fled to New York, where, in addi- tion to the nautical almanac mentioned in the note to No. I, he prepared the first Materia Medica in the English language published in America. He was also the author of other works. On his return to Massachusetts, in 1783, he was arrested, and was confined in Worcester Gaol more than two 1 6 Bibliography of Worcester. years, his case exhibiting a remarkable instance of patriotic spite and perse- cution. On his release he went to England, was pensioned by the King, received titles from a college, and was honored with the friendship of Herschel and other men of science. Lincoln, in his History of Worcester, characterizes Stearns as an "astrologer, almanac manufacturer and quack by profession," a slur which seems unmerited unless applied to all of similar pursuits at that time.

It varies, how- ever, in having but forty-eight plates, no wood-cuts; and ornamental let- ters at the beginning of the divisions only.

He did not receive a collegiate training, but through his natural talent became one of the most efifective newspaper writers of his time. His contributions to TAe National ySgis gained for that journal a high reputation. He was frequently called upon to deliver political orations : the above, his first effort, at the age of eighteen, was very popular with his associates of the Jeffersonian party. He studied law but abandoned that profession, and subsequently became editor of The Baltimore Patriot. Colman. Broad Grins ; By George Colman, (The Younger.)

A second edition, with certain modifications, and a list of ante- revolutionary books by Dr. S. F. Haven, Jr., was published in 1874 by the American Antiquarian Society, as volumes v. and VI. of its Transactions. Isaiah Thomas, the large and valuable list of whose printed works forms the basis of this Bibliography, was born in Boston January 19, 1749, and died at Worcester April 4, 1831. At the age of six years he was appren- ticed to Zechariah Fowle, a Boston printer, and remained with him until, in 1766, in consequence of a quarrel with his master, the lad ran away, and during the next three or four years worked in different places, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Charleston, South Carolina. In 1770 he returned to Boston, and with Fowle established The Massachusetts Spy, which soon, through the ability and fearlessness of Thomas, became the most powerful organ of the Whig cause. He became sole proprietor of the paper, and in April, 1775, on the eve of hostilities, removed it to Worcester, where its publication is still conducted. After the Revolution Mr. Thomas en- gaged in the most extensive printing and publishing business on this con- tinent, having at one time in operation seven presses in Worcester and five in Boston. Besides the Spy he was concerned in the publication of other papers and The Massachusetts Magazine. He retired from active business in 1802. In 1812 he founded the American Antiquarian Society, which he endowed with books and property. He was a member of sev- eral learned societies, and received the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Laws. Franklin styled him the Baskerville of America. THE HISTORY OF PRINTING IN AMERICA.

The lease to Elliot was rescinded in February, 181 1, his political views not being acceptable to the Federalists of this vicinity. From August, 1812 to Octo- ber, 1814, the paper was published by Isaac Sturtevant, and William Manning succeeded; -but the real ownership probably remained with the senior Thomas until 1819, when he sold the paper to William Manning and George A.

In 1822 a more elaborate Catechism was published in Boston under the auspices of the Worcester Association, and probably replaced this Trumbull edition. It passed through many editions in subsequent years, the twenty-first being issued in 1862.

Elihu Burritt, 181 2-1 881, called by Edward Everett "The Learned Blacksmith," came to Worcester in 1838 to study the Oriental languages in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. He remained here until 1846, working at the forge eight hours a day, studying, writing and lecturing. The Literary Gemince was his 6rst venture, but did not prove a financial success. His interest was then turned to philanthropy and the question of international peace; and The Olive Leaves and his weekly papers, The Christian Citizen and The Bond of Brotherhood, evidenced his activity in this great cause. He was a man of indomitable will and un- resting energy, and his extensive writings show great force and versatility. Curtis.
