I DEDICATE 
THESE 
VOLUMES. PREFACE. 
r design of this work is to present, as far 
as possible, full and strictly accurate descrip- 
WiW ■ tions of the titles, with collations, of every 
book, pamphlet and broadside printed in 
the Province and State of Pennsylvania, during the first 
hundred years of the operations of the press within 
their limits. Nearly six years have been devoted to 
the work, and within that period every bibliography, 
library and sale catalogue coming under the compiler's 
notice from which any information seemed likely to be 
obtained, has been carefully examined. Every newspaper 
published in Pennsylvania prior to 1785, as far as access 
could be had, has been searched. This involved a perusal 
of each advertisement in from fifty to one hundred and 
fifty-six newspapers, contained in nearly two hundred and 
fifty yearly volumes. The principal libraries of America 
and England have also been visited. The titles which 
have thus been brought together amount to upwards of 
forty-five hundred, and probably represent nearly all the 
issues of the press, with the exception of broadsides, of 
which a much larger number must have been printed 
than are now known to exist. 
The chronological arrangement of the titles shows 
(V) VI 
PREFACE 
the growth of our literature and development of literary 
taste. Religion and politics, which engrossed the 
attention of our local writers during the first forty 
years, predominate to the end, but the leaven of fancy 
introduced in 1731, by George Webb and the unknown 
author of the " Lady Errant Enchanted " worked spasmodi- 
cally until 1760, when some poem or play came forth at 
least annually from a native pen. Medicine, in the tracts of 
Cadwalader, Thomson, Kearsley, Hamilton, Macleane, and 
others; higher mathematics, in the essays of Grew, Gor- 
don, Abel, and Rittenhouse; philosophy, natural and experi- 
mental, in the works of Johnson and Kinnersley, appear 
with increasing frequency from 1740, and history, in the 
work of Morgan Edwards, from 1770. Numerous trea- 
tises on military affairs were called forth by the Revo- 
lution, one of which, " Steuben's Manual," maintained its 
position as a text-book till well into the present century. 
Such reprints of English or American publications, as 
were issued during the first eighty years, were almost 
all of the same character as those of our local writers. 
The exceptions being such practical or instructive trea- 
tises, as " Every Man his own Doctor," " The Secretary's 
Guide," and "Fisher's American Instructor." 
The elder Bradford's press was most prolific in the 
productions of one side of a petty schism, known as the 
Keithian controversy, while the publications of his suc- 
cessor, Jansen, were mainly devoted to the utterances 
of the opposite side, in a sequel to the earlier quarrel. 
Beyond establishing a newspaper the issues of Andrew PREFACE 
vii 
Bradford's press show no enterprise on his part as a 
publisher. He was printer to the Province, and with his 
father joint printer to the Province of New Jersey. The 
emoluments derived from these positions, with the profits 
of his newspaper, afforded him a comfortable income, and 
he printed only such works as local authors brought or the 
Quaker meeting required, leaving the reading public of 
his day to depend upon his importations for their ac- 
quaintance with contemporaneous literature. 
Keimer, remembered mainly through Franklin's sneers, 
in reprinting " Gordon's Independent Whig " and " Steele's 
Crisis," was the first proprietor of a press to rise above 
the mere printer. His press, for its short existence, 
was very fruitful, and produced, in Sewel's "History of 
the Quakers," the largest volume printed here prior to 
1748, and in "Epictetus his Morals" the first translation 
of a classic writer issued in America. Franklin's sole 
deviation from the line adopted by Bradford was the repro- 
duction of Richardson's " Pamela," his other publications 
not of a strictly practical kind, being the works of local 
writers or reprints of English tracts on questions of the 
day. William Bradford, the grandson of the first 
printer, followed in the same path, and neither Chat- 
tin or Dunlap ventured far enough away from it to be 
worthy of mention. Robert Bell, with, perhaps, the excep- 
tion of Andrew Steuart-who reprinted a number of popu- 
lar English works-was the first to present, in home-made 
garb, a judicious selection from every class of literature 
current in England. Beginning with " Johnson's Rasselas " viii 
PREFACE 
in 1768, he published "Lady Montague's Letters and 
Poems," " Blackstone's Commentaries " in four quarto vol- 
umes, "Sterne's Sentimental Journey," "Robertson's His- 
tory of Scotland " in three volumes, " Leland's History of 
Ireland " in four volumes, " Robinson Crusoe," " Paradise 
Lost," travels, plays, poems, and novels innumerable. His 
success in offering cheap editions soon compelled his fellow 
printers to enter the same field. Janies Humphreys, the 
publisher of "Sterne's Works," in five volumes, and 
" Chesterfield's Letters," in four, and Robert Aitken, who 
printed the first American editions of the New Testament 
and Bible in English, were his most active rivals. 
The German presses produced little else than Bibles 
and Catechisms, Hymn-books and Prayer-books, " Martyr 
Books " and ghost stories. These volumes are remark- 
able for their bulkiness, but with the exception of the 
publications of the Ephrata Community are almost all 
reprints of European works. The " Zionitischer Wey- 
rauchs-Huegel " printed by Sower, in 1739, was the first 
book printed in America from German type, and the 
Bible, issued in 1743 from the same press, was the first 
printed in a European language in America. The " Martyr 
Book," printed at Ephrata, in 1748, was the largest work 
which appeared in America prior to the Revolution. 
The first newspaper published in the middle colonies 
was the " American Weekly Mercury," begun in 1719 by 
Andrew Bradford. As Franklin says, it "was a paltry 
thing, wretchedly managed, and no ways entertaining." 
Keimer's "Universal Instructor," begun in 1728 was not PREFACE 
ix 
much better. To Franklin, in the "Pennsylvania Ga- 
zette," we owe our first creditable newspaper, and the 
publication of the first German newspaper in America, 
the " Philadelphische Zeitung," begun in 1732, is also 
due to his enterprise. The "Pennsylvania Journal," 
founded in 1742, by William Bradford the 3d, from the 
first, more independent in tone than the " Gazette," was 
much the best paper published at the time of the Revolu- 
tion. The "Pennsylvania Chronicle," published from 
1767 to 1773, was, however, in every respect, the best 
paper ever issued in the Province. Its editor, William 
Goddard, a man of some talent and great aggressiveness, 
was for a time in the receipt of aid from Joseph Galloway, 
Franklin and a number of writers of ability, in both 
America and England. The "Pennsylvania Packet," 
begun in 1771, became in 1785 the first daily paper 
printed in the United States. Sower's newspaper, begun 
in 1739, is said to have reached, about 1760, a circulation 
of eight thousand, and Henry Miller is believed to have 
been even more successful. 
The first magazine which appeared in America-" The 
American Monthly Magazine "-came from the press of 
Andrew Bradford in February, 1741, but its appearance 
was due to John Webbe, its editor, rather than to its 
printer. " Ein Geistliches Magazien," begun by Sower in 
1764, is believed to have been the first religious periodi- 
cal published in America. 
Among the educational publications may be mentioned 
the works of Bell and de Prefontaine on French, and the X 
PREFACE 
German grammars printed by Armbruester in 1748, and 
Sower in 1751, and Christopher Dock's " Schul Ord- 
nung." There are also several reprints of Latin, Greek, 
German and French Grammars, etc. 
The Almanacs form a class of literature in themselves. 
Beginning with the very first issue of the press they con- 
tinued to appear in ever increasing numbers until long 
after the end of the first century. A marked feature 
of these publications was the freedom of language, 
amounting, in many cases, to the broadest indecency, in 
which the prefaces, tales and verses were written. 
The compiler is indebted to Messrs. Samuel W. Penny- 
packer, Horatio Gates Jones, Frederick D. Stone, Lloyd 
P. Smith, Henry Phillips, Jr., Charles G. Sower and Os- 
wald Seidensticker, of Philadelphia; A. R. Spofford, of

able information and assistance promptly and courteously 
rendered.

1 leaf means that only one side is printed upon and that the other page is blank. 
( ) are used to indicate pages not numbered by the printer. Thus: Half-title, 1 
leaf; Title, 1 leaf; Dedication, pp. (2); Preface, pp. i-ix; text, pp. 1-506; 
Appendix, pp. (15); Index, pp. 1-26; Errata, 1 leaf," means that a short

followed by the full title which occupies a page and that the next is blank. 
The dedication which follows the full title occupies one leaf both sides 
of which are printed upon but are not numbered. The preface which follows 
the dedication fills nine pages, the first of which may or may not be num-

Then follows the work called for by the title page, the pages of which are 
numbered 1 to 506. To this is added an appendix of eight unnumbered leaves 
of which the first seven are printed on both sides and the eighth on one side 
only. The index consists of thirteen leaves printed on both sides and paged 
1 to 26, and an unpaged leaf of errata printed on one side only is added,

It consists of twenty unpaged leaves. The reverse of the title which, in the copy 
at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, measures 6 by 3 7-8 inches, the type occu- 
pying 5 7-16 by 2 7-8 inches, and half of the succeeding page is tilled by Atkins' 
address "To the Reader," which is followed by Bradford's : "To the Readers" 
which is given below. The fourth page contains "The Explanation of this ensuing 
Ephemeris." The fifth, "Chronology" and a list of "Some experienced Medi- 
cines, sold by William Bradford at Philadelphia." The sixth, "Common Notes 
for this Year 1686," the Fairs at Philadelphia, &c. The seventh "A Table of the 2

Kings of England, ' ' &c. The eighth, ' ' A Table of the Moons coming to the South, 
the first six months of this Year." The ninth, the same for "The last six months 
of this Year." The tenth and eleventh, "The Eleventh Month (January) hath 31 
days." The other months, or Moneths as it is most frequently spelt, fill two pages 
each and end on the thirty-second and third with "The Tenth Moneth (Decem- 
ber) hath 31 days." "A Table of Houses for the Latitude of 40 Degrees North " 
fills from the thirty-fourth to the thirty-ninth, and the last page contains "The 
Names and Characters of the 12 Signs, 7 Planets, 5 Aspects, " &c., and a paragraph 
of errata. The calendar is devoid of the usual "sayings," guesses at the weather, 
and Saints' days and Holidays, not even the 5th of November being distinguished. 
The astronomical signs and tidal calculations are "displayed" so as to fill the two 
pages alotted to each month. It was well printed, and the mixture of "Roman " 
and "Italic" was no doubt due to the cause assigned by Bradford in excuse for 
the "Irregularities." 
The author seems to have been wandering through the Middle colonies, and 
although his promise of another almanac for the ensuing year indicates an intention 
to remain in Philadelphia, he probably left the neighborhood soon after the ap- 
pearance of his "first Fruits." No trace of him appears in the wills, administra- 
tions or deeds on record here. In fact, beyond the Kalendarium and the record 
of his appearing in answer to a summons from the Provincial Council for being so 
forgetful of the " plain " language of the people around him as to speak of "Lord 
Penn, ' ' nothing is known of him. Atkins gives an account of the motives which 
led to, and his manner of compiling the work in his address. 
"TO THE READER. 
"I thought good to insirt this short Epistle, that you might understand the cause 
why I thus ventured to publish this Ephemeris or Almanac, which was truly 
thus ; I having journied in and through several places, not only in this Province, 
but likewise in Maryland, and else where, and the People generally complaining, 
that they scarcely knew how the Time passed, nor that they hardly knew the day 
of Rest, or Lords Day, when it was, for want of a Diary, or Day Book, which we 
call an Almanack. And on the other side having in my Travels met with Inge- 
nious Persons, that have been Lovers of the Mathematical Arts, some of which 
have wanted an Ephemeris to make some Practice thereon : I say, hearing this 
general complaint from such abundance of Inhabitants, which are here. I was 
really troubled and did design, according to that small knowledge that I had, to 
pleasure these my Country men with that which they wanted, although it be not 
compleated in that Method, which I did intend it should be. Nevertheless I have 
reduced the Sun and Moons places, according to their mean Motions, to this Meridian, 
which is five hours West from the City of London : For the other Planets, I have 
taken them by whole Degrees, from the Ephemerides of that Ingenious and Sollid 
Artist, Mr. John Gadbury, from whence the Fundamental is derived: The Lunar 
Aspects I have reduced to the hour that they happen here, as before. As to the 
Moon's rising and setting, I have used the Method of Mr. Vincent Wing, formerly 
in his Almanack, that is, the Moons rising from Full to New, and her setting from 
New to Full, according to her true place in the Ecliptick : for what signifies it to 
shew you the time of her rising and setting in the day time when you cannot see 1685

it. In her Southing, I have something respected her Latitude, and accordingly I 
have framed a Tide-Table to that Experience that I have made of it here. As to 
the Moons passing by the fixed Stars, &c. I have generally shewn it at that time 
when they may be best discerned. Besides the Table of Houses, Table of Kings, 
&c. I had thoughts to have incerted a figure of the Moons Eclips, a small 
Draught of the form of this City, and a Table to find the hour of the day by the 
Shadow of a Staff; but we having not Tools to carve them in that form that I 
would have them, nor time to calculate the other, I pass it for this year, and not 
only promise it in the next, but likewise several other more particular Notes and 
Observations, which shall not only be useful to this Province, but likewise to the 
neighbouring Provinces on both sides. In the meantime, except this my Mite, 
being my first Fruits, and you will encourage me, according to my Ability, to 
serve you in what I may, or can, whilst I am

THE ISSUES OF THE PRESS 
1685 
The first issue of the press was not destined to go forth unchallenged. One of 
the Almanacs fell into the hands of William Markham, the Secretary of the 
Provincial Council, and at their next meeting he reported, " to Council, that in the 
Chronologic of the Almanack sett forth by Samll Atkins of Philadelphia and by 
William Bradford of the same Place, there was these words ' the beginning of 
Government by ye Lord Penn ! ' The Council sent for Samll Atkins, and ordered 
him to blott out ye words Lord Penn ; & likewise for Will Bradford, ye Printer, 
and gave Charge not to print anything but what shall have lycence from ye Coun- 
cil." (Colonial Records I. 165.) Markham must have obtained an "advance 
copy," as in those now known the offensive words are not only blotted out by 
stamping'over them a "well-inked three-e?n quad,'' but the errata on the last page 
unlike the usual manner of noting an error does not repeat the words to be cor- 
rected and only says, among other things, "In the Chronology read the begin- 
ning of the Government here by William Penn, Proprietor and Governor 6 years." 
But two copies are known to exist. One of these formerly belonged to Mr. 
Brinley, of Hartford, Conn., at whose sale it realized the sum of $555.00. The 
other was sold at the dispersion of Dr. King's (of Newport, R. I.) Library for 
$520.00, and is now in the collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. 
Fragments of two copies are also known, one of which belongs to the Society 
just mentioned and the other to Mr. S. Gratz.

Mr. F. D. Stone, Librarian of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, was the 
first to call in question the heretofore accepted statement, that this work was 
printed in London. I give his reasons in his own words : " In addition to the 
similarity there is between the type of Good Order and that of publications which 
are known to be from Bradford's Press, sheets of the former, used as waste, are 
in a copy of Keith's Pretended Antidote Proved Poysen, printed by Bradford in 1686 
IN PENNSYLVANIA 
5 
1690, which is preserved in its original binding in the Historical Society of Penn- 
sylvania. Other sheets similarly used were found by a gentleman living in 
Albany, in the original binding of a Bradford edition of the Presbyterian and 
Independent Visible Churches. If the late Edward Armstrong's statement in his 
introduction to Gowan's Reprint of the work is correct, that it was * given to the 
printer on the 25th of October, 1685,' all possible doubt about the matter is set- 
tled, as Budd is known to have been in Philadelphia so soon afterwards (Novem- 
ber 17th, 1685) as to preclude the idea that in the mean while he had crossed the 
Atlantic." After a careful comparison of its typography with other issues of 
Bradford's Press, the late John Wm. Wallace, Esq., and the author both con- 
curred in Mr. Stone's opinion. A copy of ''Good Order" with all the other 
available early specimens of Bradford's printing, was then submitted to Mr. 
Thomas Mackellar, the eminent Type-founder, whose long practical experience 
with every variety of ''letter," makes his opinion conclusive. Mr. Mackellar, 
after a prolonged and careful examination declared himself convinced, that ''Good 
Order" came from the same ''office " as several of the books bearing Bradford's 
imprint, and enforced his opinion by pointing out peculiarly broken, defective 
and irregularly formed type in Budd's tract, which re-appeared in one or more of 
the publications of our first printer. 
"Good Order " was going through the press when the publication of the Almanac 
called forth the order "not to print anything but what shall have lycence from 
ye Council," and as Budd had recently published in London some strictures on 
Edward Byllinge, which also reflected on Penn and other Quakers, an application 
for a license in this case would have met with delay, if not a refusal. These 
considerations no doubt induced Bradford to omit his name from the imprint. 
It was reprinted in New York, 1865, with an Introduction by the late Edward 
G. Armstrong, in which will be found a very full account of the author and his 
work. Mr. Rice's copy sold for $155, and was re-sold for $150 at the Menzies 
Sale. Mr. Brinley's uncut copy sold for $160.

The author of this Epistle was a well known Friend. It is dated at " Dublin 
in Ireland, the 12th of the 8th moneth, 1685," and contains nothing more than the 
religious platitudes usually found in such publications. One hundred copies 
were printed by order of the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, for which Bradford 
received fifteen shillings. Only three are now known to be extant. These are 
in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Friends' Library, Philadelphia, 
and Devonshire Meeting-house, London. 6

This is the first printed utterance of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. The 
tract also contains an Epistle from William Penn, and " An Epistle to Friends 
to be read in their Monthly Meeting, from Frances Taylor." The last page 
contains a list of books to be sold by Bradford. An account of Mrs. Tay- 
lor and her husband, who were the parents of Jacob Taylor the printer 
and Almanac-maker, will be found in the Friend, Vol. XXVII, page 128 et seq. 
The title is now for the first time printed in full. It occurs three times in Joseph 
Smith's Catalogue of Friends' Books, but even where most fully given, not more 
than half of it appears. I have met with only one copy. 
LEEDS. (D.) An Almanack | For the Year of Christian Account

This almanac is printed on a broadside sheet of paper, divided into twelve parts, 
for the several months. At the bottom of the sheet is a short explanation of the 
Almanac, an account of the eclipses, in which he says, the first ''may be seen by 
us, if the clouds hide not. I judge it will be a great eclipse, especially to some 
people." After this is given the time of holding courts and fairs at Burlington 
and Philadelphia, and short rules in husbandry, and the whole concludes with 
these lines : 1687

"Mind modest reader what thou findest amiss,- 
But let the author know what fault it is :- 
All men have erred since Adam first transgressed :- 
If I commit no fault, I'm one of the best. 
But here my comfort is, though I offend, 
I to my faults can quickly put an end." 
Daniel Leeds was married at Burlington Meeting 2d mo. 21st, 1681, and on that 
occasion is described as late of Shrewsbury in East Jersey, and as being a 
"Cooper" by trade. He was in New Jersey in 1676, and a resident of Burling- 
ton in 1680. In 1682 he was Surveyor General and a member of the Assembly of 
West Jersey. Two years later he is mentioned as contributing £4 towards a 
Meeting house in Burlington. His first quarrel with his co-religionists, was 
about his almanac for 1688 (infra No. 7), but he did not withdraw from the 
Society of Friends until the Keithian schism. He does not seem to have taken 
a very active part in this quarrel, but having joined the Church of England 
about the same time as Keith, he became the latter's principal coadjutor in the 
polemical war, which raged from 1696 to 1706. On the side of the Quakers were 
Caleb Pusey, Samuel Jenings and Thomas Chalkley. The Episcopalians were 
Keith, Rev. Evan Evans, Rev. John Talbot and Leeds, of whom Leeds was much 
the most prolific. He wrrote News of a Trumpet, 1697; The Hue and Cry against 
Error, 1698; A Trumpet Sounded, 1699; The Rebuker Rebuked, 1703; The Great 
Mystery of Fox-Craft Discovered, 1704; The Second Part of The Great Mystery 
of Fox-Craft, 1706; as well as a work printed in New York, about 1702, the title 
of which is unknown. Besides these works, which were always bitter, and fre- 
quently contained the most scurrilous charges against prominent Quakers, he 
filled his almanacs with the controversy, and as he had for a time the field to 
himself, this was particularly offensive to his opponents. Leeds consequently 
came in for a large share of the abusive personalities, so freely scattered in this 
controversy, which was carried on with as little dignity by one side as the 
other. 
Leeds was appointed a member of the New Jersey Provincial Council, Novem- 
ber 16th, 1702, but after some years' service, during which several petitions for 
his removal were presented, was deprived of his seat. He took an active part in 
organizing St. Anne's, now St. Mary's Church, in Burlington, and was a Vestry 
man in 1709, which is the last mention of him I have found. His first wife died 
in 1682, and their only child soon after. By his second wife, he had a large 
family. Two of his sons, Titan and Felix, were almanac makers.

1687 
in all the Almanacks that he hath printed in Daniel Leeds' name, to the house 
of Thomas Budd, the which almanack being condemned by the Judgment of 
Friends of this Meeting, and that there be care taken for ye payment of William 
Bradford towards his loss therein and that he may use his endeavour to call in 
those that are already abroad." Mr. Kite gives the following explanation of the 
cause of this action : " In imitation of the Almanacs published in England, Daniel 
had added some light, foolish and unsavoury paragraphs, which gave great 
uneasiness and offence to Friends." 
Other entries show that Bradford was ordered ''to show what may concern 
Friends or Truth before printing it to the Quarterly Meeting," and that he 
subsequently received £4 in payment for the copies destroyed. 
The Burlington Meeting also condemned the Almanac, and ordered Leeds not 
to send anything to be printed, without first obtaining their approval. He 
acknowledged his error in his own meeting and sent the following apology to that 
of Philadelphia : 
" Friends at Philadelphia Meeting. Concerning my Almanack lately published, 
and by you disapproved, I say this, that although what is therein be not unsuita- 
ble for an Almanack, barely considered ; yet I doe believe there are some particu- 
lars in it that are too light and airy for one that is a Christian indeed. And I hope 
for time to come to write more seriously: and also I intend publiqly to signify 
as much in the next Almanack I doe wright. This much from me, who am your 
friend, whilst I am my own,

At the foot of the Almanac for 1687, is the following : "There is now in the 
Press The Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Property, to which is added, A 
Guide for the Grand and Pettit Jury." The title page looks as if Bradford had 
set up some sort of an imprint, and had hastily withdrawn it j ust before printing 
it. It is the worst specimen of Bradford's work I have seen. In "A Defense 
of the Legislative Constitution of the Province of Pennsylvania," printed by 
Andrew Bradford in 1728, it is quoted as the work of William Penn. The 
defense was no doubt written by David Lloyd, and no objection is raised in any 
of the several replies which it called forth, to the assertion that Penn was the 
author of "Liberty and Property." As Lloyd was Attorney General of the 
Province, and on friendly terms with Penn in 1687, his unchallenged statement 
is conclusive on such a point.

ADVERTISEMENT against holding the Annual Fair at the 
Centre Square. Philadelphia: William Bradford. 1688. 8 
No copy is known to be extant. The Provincial Council in response to a 
".Petition of the Inhabitants at the Center of Philadelphia," on April 2, 1688, 
ordered the next Fair to be held "at the Center," now the site of the New Public 
Buildings. The location was thought by many people to be too far out of town. 
A number of persons having signed and circulated some printed strictures on the 
action of the Council, were summoned to appear before that body, and on doing 
so, were reproved and graciously pardoned. The Council two days later, to show, 
no doubt, their appreciation of the "Contemptuous Printing paper," ordered an 
"Additional Fayr to be kept at Philadelphia, at ye Center." Colonial Records,

The only known copy of this sheet has a curious history. It has been used, by 
some early binder, Bradford himself perhaps, as the inner lining of the cover of 
a quarto volume. Here about 1843, it was discovered by Mr. Nathan Kite, who 
succeeded in removing it almost uninjured. While he lived, Mr. Kite treasured 
this relic of Bradford's enterprising spirit, above all his other bibliographical 
possessions. After his death, his widow gave it to a person whom she had em- 
ployed in moving some of her furniture, in payment, I presume, for his services.

"that unparalleled Plagiary and unreasonable Transcriber, D. Leeds, who hath 
now for 19 years, with a very large stock of Impudence, filched matter out of 
other men's works, to furnish his spurious Almanacks.'' This, and the existence 
of an Almanac, for the year 1693, is the only evidence I can find of there being 
an unbroken series of Leeds' Almanacs.

Whenever this book has been described, stress is laid upon its containing 
Bacon's Essays, and the fact that the first part is entirely made up of extracts from 
the religious vagaries of Jacob Bohm, and more than half of the second part with 
the forgotten wit (which sent its author to jail) of the youthful days of a round- 
head thief, is entirely overlooked. That Wither's satires should be selected 
as a part of the volume is more remarkable than the choice of the common 
sense of Lord Verulam or the wild speculations of Bohm. The wisdom of 
the volume is known and recognized to-day ; its folly is perhaps not yet entirely 
forgotten, but its wit has so passed out of mind that its author was recently men- 
tioned "as perhaps one of the best of the old English poets exhumed by modern 
literary antiquaries." It has been asserted that the "Temple of Wisdom " was 
the first book printed by Bradford. This honor is now due, if not to Budd's " Good 
Order," to Penn's "Excellent Privilege of Liberty and Property." There are 
at least three copies extant, but none of them are in any public institution. Mr. 
Menzie's copy sold for $190.00, and is now a part of the almost unrivaled col- 
lection of early Americana of Mr. Charles H. Kalbfleisch, of New York City.

The title of this work, which was really printed in England, is from Sabin's 
Dictionary. I saw a copy for a moment at the Lennox Library, and from its 
typography was convinced that it never came from Bradford's press. It was 
probably fabricated by some of Penn's enemies in support of the charge that he 
was a Roman Catholic. 12

FOX. (G.) Religious Papers by George Fox. Philadelphia:

In 1688, Bradford informed the Quarterly Meeting of his having obtained from 
England, several "Religious Papers, by George Fox,'' and asked the approval 
and assistance of the Meeting before printing them. The matter is several times 
mentioned, for the last time as follows : 
"3d of 4th mo. 1689. William Bradford being ordered by the last Monthly 
Meeting to print George Fox's papers, which is accordingly done, and as many 
of them remain unsold at amount of seven shillings & 3 d. which the Meeting

A careful comparison of this edition with the Charter as printed in the first 
volume of Colonial Records, shows twenty-nine variations. Twenty-six of these 
appear to be merely typographical errors. The other three are the omission of the 
word "Jurisdictions," which appears in the 18th line of page 42, Colonial 
Records, Vol. 1 ; the omission of the words "officers chosen " in the 39th line of 
the same page, and the omission of the words " of the Provincial Council," in the 
39th line of page 44. The second of these 'omissions is probably the fundament- 
ally false point to which Blackwell refers. It was printed April 8th, 1689, at the 
instance of Joseph Growden, and other opponents of the then Governor, John 
Blackwell, w'ho, supported by a majority of the Provincial Council, was pursuing 
a line of conduct, which gave rise to the charges, officially denied by the declara- 
tion issued 23d of 3d mo. 1689. "That the Governor and some members of the 
Council had a design or intent to subvert and overturn the frame of Government, 
and to make voyd the Charter." The Governor on seeing a copy declared "It 
was high presumption in any man, to promote the publishing of any paper of 
such concerne without direction, especially for that it was false in as fundamental 
a point as that was," and, having summoned Bradford to appear before the 
Council, bound him under £500 penalty not to print anything without a licence. 
Bradford's account of his examination, in which he boldly asserted the liberty 
of the press, yet warily avoided committing himself, appears in full in Wallace's 
Commemorative Address. It was not the first time he had printed the Charter. 
For, besides the claim he makes of having printed it by Penn's order in England, 
(presumably the London edition of 1682, which is without a printer's name), he 
had published it in "Liberty and Property," without exciting any comment. 
Blackwell no doubt acted under the idea that the Charter had been wilfully dis- 
torted in the interest of his opponents. 
In addition to the small encouragement in the way of work, Bradford had 
received since he set up his press, he had now been three times-twice by the 
Governor and once by the Meeting-taken to task and forbidden to freely follow 
his trade. His position was more vexatious than it would have been in England, 
for he found here not only that license he must have, but instead of his "Impri- 
matur " issuing from Stationers' Hall, the power to grant it was claimed by both 
the Civil and Religious authorities, the leaders of which were widely at variance. 
He determined to return to England, applied to the Meeting for a "certificate of 
removal, ' ' and transferred the press to his ' ' assignes, ' ' as appears in the imprint 
of No. 14. He was, however, induced to remain, by the offer of a salary and 
promise of employment from the Yearly Meeting. The sum offered was £40 per 
annum. This apparently small stipend becomes a very liberal allowance when 
compared with the salaries of the Provincial officers. The Chief Justice of the 
Supreme Court received but £100, the Associate Justice £50, and the Attorney 
General £60. George Keith's salary as Head Master of the Friends' School was 
only £50. Just how much business the Meeting was able to ' ' throw in his way, ' ' 
it is impossible to form any definite idea. The four small tracts (Nos. 15, 22, 25 
and 30), which are supposed to have been printed by order of the Meeting in 1690 
and 1691, would not have afforded him much encouragement. It is most proba- 
ble that Bradford produced a number of works which have now entirely dis- 
appeared. 14

This work, although written while the author was a member of the Society of 
Friends, was expressed in such a tone as to cause the Rev. Thomas Barton, an 
Episcopal Missionary in Central Pennsylvania, to write to the Society for the 
Propagation of the Gospel, in 17G6, that he "often wished that Keith's Presby-

The Brinley Catalogue suggests that this tract was printed by Bradford. The 
copy there described sold for $52.50, and is now in the Library of Congress, 
where I made a careful examination, and after comparing it with other specimens 
of Bradford's press, I arrived at the conclusion that it was not printed by Brad- 
ford. Most of the "letter " is not unlike some of Bradford's, but there is at least 
one line of type which I never met in any other specimen of his press. Sabin 
(Dictionary, No. 46,722) erroneously ascribes the authorship to Increase Mather, 
and gives London as the place of publication. It was an answer to Increase Math- 
er's "Present State of New English Affairs," and the London edition, printed in 
1690 and reprinted in the Andros Tracts, says on the title page, "By John Palmer." 1690

In answer to "The Principles of the Protestant Religion maintained," (see 
supra No. 17, note). It is a plain, forcible, but not intemperate piece of argu- 
ment. The style is generally clear, and the quotations show an intimate 
acquaintance with ancient and modern theological and metaphysical writers. 
Delaval's Appendix is in answer to Cotton Mather's "The Serviceable Man," 
(see Sabin's Dictionary, No. 46,504). On page 129 occur two words in Greek 
type-the first I have found in any of Bradford's works. Some of Keith's expres- 
sions and illustrations are very quaint. The reasons put forth by the Boston 
clergymen for refusing a " public dispute " with him, are called "Fig-leaf Rea- 
sons." In the Introduction Keith says, " How many Presbyterians have highly 
commended the Women for throwing their stools at the Bishop reading Common 
Prayer, in Edinburgh, in Scotland, above fifty years ago, and judged it a noble 
and heroical act, and some have imputed it to a divine motion." Further on he 
says (p. 67), "No Rhymes were sung, that I can understand, by the French 
Protestants in french, till Beza composed them, and translated the Psalms into 
french metre, and so they were sung at Geneva, hence they were called Geneva 
Jigs." Menzies'copy sold for $24.

observance of Christmas and Saint Days. The exhortation, which is dated the

the good Order of Truth, as it is esta- | blished and practiced amongst the People,

This title is from Watson's MSS. Annals in the Library of the Histori-

in this part of the country." Southerland's confused and contradictory testimony 
before the Coroner led to his commitment. He was tried before two Justices of 1692

the Peace and a jury of 52 persons. There were no witnesses against him, nor 
does he appear to have had the services of counsel for his defense. He confessed 
having robbed Clark, but said he was with his wife on the night of the murder. 
She being examined apart testified that he did not come home till early on the 
following morning. He then declared he had been out in a canoe and landed 
at a certain time and place where many of the jury had been at the hour named 
by him without of course seeing him. John F. Watson had met with a copy, and

In this tract Budd gives a statement of the Keithian doctrines, and recites

ing as to wet Two Handkerchiefs of three Quarters of a yard each, and all in 
deceit. To which I say, this is a great Lye." "It was reported by Arthur 
Cook that I struck him on the face in the public Meeting in Philadelphia. This 
is to signifie to all who are desirous to know the truth of the matter . . . that 
while G. K. was declaring I stept between G. K. and him to keep him off from 
staring him in the face, but Arthur pressing to get close to G. K. I stood in his 
way, and Arthur said Wilt thou push me? No said I, but I think to stand in the

Folio, 1 leaf. F. 39 
The first edition was a broadside printed in two columns. Keith having been 
condemned by a meeting of "Public Friends'' or ministers and forbidden to 
preach in meeting, was told by Thomas Lloyd, "if thou thinkest thyself aggrieved 
by that judgment, thou may appeal to the Yearly Meeting, which is now 
approaching.'' Keith accordingly drew up an appeal, in which he "proposed 
twelve particular heads to be considered," by the Meeting. This having been 
printed and two copies having been disposed of by John McComb, a tavern 
keeper ; he and Bradford were arrested and indicted for publishing and uttering a 
" Malicious and Seditious Paper. " Part of Bradford's types and stock of paper 
and books were seized, McComb's tavern license was revoked and both men were 
committed to jail for trial. The trial was postponed first until the October 
session, and then to the December sitting of the Court. Meantime the prisoners 
remained in jail, the jailor, however, was so kind as to let McComb "go home 
an hour or two sometimes in an evening after it was dark." In December Brad- 
ford was tried, the j ury, however, disagreed and he was remanded until the next 
session, but in the interval the government changed and the prosecution dropped. 
McComb, as far as is known, was never brought to trial. In the course of Brad- 
ford's trial the Prosecution put the form as proof before the jury. "Unable, 
however, to read the matter from the types, without looking at them closely, the 
foreman began to pass the chase along the panel. Of a sudden the quoins got 
loose and the mass of type fell through a pile of indecipherable pi."

the Appeal, "there happen'd an Error in the Postscript, which pray amend, viz. 
line 1, for Anthony Morris read Sam. Richardson." It was reprinted in "The

This is a continuation of the controversy with the New England Divines, but 
it was also the beginning of the Keithian controversy in print. One of the points 
at variance between Keith and other Quakers of the Philadelphia Yearly Meet- 
ing, was the adoption of a Confession of Faith. Keith was impressed with the 
necessity of so doing and had prepared and submitted a form, which was 
not approved of by the Meeting. He succeeded, however, in inducing the Rhode 1692 
IN PENNSYLVANIA 
23 
Island Friends to adopt his Confession of Faith, and on his return to Philadelphia, 
had it printed. Upon its appearance a special sitting of the Monthly Meeting was 
held at the house of Samuel Carpenter, by which the tract was condemned and 
Bradford censured for printing it. On this occasion, Keith says in defence of Brad- 
ford, that "he was warranted to print by the Monthly Meeting of Rhode Island, 
which hath as much authority to print without them, as they here have to print 
without those, unless they here will say, that Philadelphia is the Church of Rome 
in America, as Samuel Jenings called it the Metropolitan.'' The reverse of the 
title contains an abstract of the principles asserted in the six pages immediately 
following ; and the rest of the tract is taken up with "Testimonies of our Ancient

water and William Stockdale, and an endorsement of "The Christian Faith of 
the Quakers in Rhode Island, " which Keith and his followers had passed at what 
they called an Adjourned Monthly Meeting, and concludes on page 19 with a 
list of the signers of these "Judgments ; " in which one of the names has been ob- 
literated by stamping it over with ink from a three-ewz quad. A Postscript 
beginning on page 20, is followed on page 23 by "Some Testimonies taken out 
of R. Barclay's Book, called, The Anarchy of the Ranters." This extends to the 
middle of page 26, the rest of which, and pages 27 and 28, are devoted to account 
of Keith's efforts towards a reconciliation. The rest of the tract (pp. 29-36) is 
filled with "An account of the Sincere Christian Faith of some of the faithful 
people, called in scorn, Quakers, in Pennsilvania, etc." It is temperate in tone 
and refers to Keith's opponents by the initials of their first names only. Reprinted

This tract was the joint production of Keith and Budd, and was a more elaborate 
answer to the Testimony published against Keith by the " Meeting of Public 
Friends," than the ''Appeal from the Twenty-eight Judges." The authors were 
indicted, tried and fined £5 each for publishing it. (See New England's Spirit of 
Persecution &c., No. 64, infra.) As a part of the controversy it is of the highest 
importance and it seems to me, supposing the expressions therein assigned to 
individuals, to be correctly reported that the sentiments expressed by some and at 
least tacitly approved by a majority of the Quakers of the period, may have 
justified him in saying, from a Trinitarian point of view, that ''More damnable 
Heresies and Errors were cloaked among the Quakers here than in any Protestant 
Society in Christendom." It would also seem that the Quaker Meeting of the 
time countenanced the most puerile questions : For instance, Keith says John 
Simcock inquired of the Meeting "Did Christ's bones rise?" And again, Keith 
having asserted that "God was present in all His Creatures, even Grass, Herbs, 
&c." a dispute arose, "Whether God be present in Lice?" Keith says Samuel 
Jenings called him a "Brat of Babylon." Quere, considering the title (the fourth 
on page 657, Vol. I. of Smith's Catalogue of Friends' Books) of one of George 
Fox's books, is this a Quaker rendering of the epithet, which an eminent English 
writer says is in common use in America, and which he renders for the benefit 
of ears polite as "the son of a lady dog ? " Reprinted in London as " An Account 
of the Great Divisions amongst the Quakers in Pennsylvania."

''Given forth by our Monthly Meeting in Philadelphia, the 13th day of the 8th 
Month, 1693, and recommended to all our Friends and Brethren, who are one 
with us in our Testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ, and all others professing 
Christianity." In 1688 the settlers of Germantown, to the successive embarrass- 
ment of a Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly Meeting, presented a written protest 
against slavery, which was finally disposed of by the last as "not so proper for 
this meeting to give a Positive Judgment, It having so general a relation to many 
other parts, and, therefore, at present they forbore it." It remained for the Phila- 
delphia Meeting of Keithian Quakers, to put forth, in this "Exhortation," the 1693 
IN PENNSYLVANIA 
29 
first protest against slavery printed in America. Joseph Smith in his Catalogue 
of Friends' Books, describes it as having been printed at Philadelphia ; but as 
Bradford removed to New York about June, 1693, and the "Exhortation" was 
not " given forth " by the Meeting till October 13th, it must have been printed in 
New York.

Anno Dorn. 1603. | Sq. 8vo. pp. 22, (1). H. s. p. 62 
This is the last of the controversy printed in Philadelphia, and in it Keith says 
" Notwithstanding the many tedious and vexatious Disputes and Controversies 
that have been among us of late concerning Doctrines and Principles of Religion, 
one Party affirming, and the other denying, yet at other times in publick, Thomas 
Lloyd and Party, have endeavoured to cast a mist before the people to make them 
believe, that there is no difference in Doctrine betwixt them and George Keith. 
But on the 11th of the 10th month, 1692 in the Publick Meeting at Philadelphia 
before several Hundred People, John Delavall silenced that pretence, by accusing 
me of being guilty of Works of the Flesh, in two particulars, viz. Heresie and 
Hatred." And he "did further accuse me, That my Heresie and Error was in a 
Fundamental Doctrine of the Quakers, in saying, The Light within is not suffi- 
cient without something else." Keith seems to have made a cautious reply in the 
meeting and to have endeavored to obtain the charge in writing. Failing in this 
he at length wrote to Delaval that the logical meaning of the charge brought 
against him was a denial of the divinity of Christ. To this Delaval replied " that 
neither he nor his brethren exclude the Man Christ from having a part in our 
Salvation." Whereupon Keith launches forth into a caustic attack upon the in- 
consistency of this reply with the charge ; the Unitarian tendency of the charge 
and Delaval and his doctrines generally. Delaval was a man of wealth and 
education, a member of the Provincial Council, son-in-law of the Governor, 
Thomas Lloyd, and a minister of the Society of Friends. The last leaf contains 
an offer from Bradford to print a reply by Delaval or any one else.

This is a very far from impartial account of a series of trials, to which, however, 
the term persecution is probably not improperly applied. It begins with a short 
narrative of the Keithian controversy, relates the circumstances attending the 
arrest and imprisonment of Bradford and McComb (see note to No. 39, supra'), 
and then reports the trial of Peter Boss, upon an indictment for defaming a Magis- 
trate, in a letter containing a variety of charges against Samuel Jenings. He was 
convicted and fined £6. Boss' charges with half a dozen affidavits in support of 
them, and others by Keith and John Philly are printed in full. Then follow the 
proceedings against Keith, upon a similar charge, as one of the authors of the 
Plea of the Innocent. Keith, after much contention with the Court and David 
Lloyd who acted as prosecuting attorney, refused to plead in the regular form, and 
was recorded nihil dicit. To which he objected as he says " I think I have said 
a great deal." Budd's trial upon the same charge is then briefly reported. The 
jury found ''That Thomas Budd was guilty of saying, Samuell Jenings had be- 
haved himself too high and imperiously in Worldly Courts." The court, in spite 
of the exception ''That it was no verdict, not being found to be a breach of any 
Law, fined him £5, and imposed a like penalty on Keith, and refused to allow 
an appeal to be taken to the Supreme Court, or to the King and Queen in 
Council. Some comments on the trial and more charges against Jenings are 
followed by a report of the proceedings in Bradford's case. The court was com- 
posed of six Quakers ; two were members of the meeting of ministers as well 
as signers of the ''Judgment" which called forth the cause of the actions, 
another was one of the bitterest opponents of Keith and his party, while Jenings 1693 
IN PENNSYLVANIA 
31 
who seems to have acted as president-judge was the subject of the alleged defama- 
tion, and not only heard the case contrary to ordinary procedure but in direct 
violation of a resolution of the Assembly. The prosecuting attorney was not the 
regularly appointed officer, but was specially engaged by the court. The juries, 
it is intimated, were packed with Keith's enemies by the Sheriff, who seems also 
to have acted as assistant prosecutor. 
In the three copies of the tract which I have met with, a sentence on page 7, and

author was Jonathan Dickinson, not Dickenson, a native of Jamaica, who, with 
his wife, had joined the Society of Friends a short time before embarking on the

son of the captain of a man-of-war, who, having participated in the capture of 
Jamaica by the English under Penn and Venables, acquired an estate in that island 
and settled there. His uncle was Physician to Charles II, his grandfather a 
clergyman of the established Church, and his great-grandfather chief cook at 
Eton College. He settled in Philadelphia and became one of the most extensive 
and successful merchants of the time. He was an aiderman, and Mayor of the 
city; Speaker of the Assembly, Member of the Governor's Council, a Master in 
Chancery, and a Justice of the Supreme Court. He was buried in the Friends'

Beynier Jansen 1699. | Sq. 8vo. pp. 30, (1). h. s. p. 70 
One hundred copies were reprinted in Philadelphia about 1882. Samuel Jenings 
appears to have been a man of education and ability, and to have been held in high 
esteem among his own sect, of which he was a prominent Minister; if a very lauda- 
tory sketch of him which appeared in "The Friend, " Vol. XXVIII., can be trusted. 
On the other hand if his character be taken from the publications of Keith, he was 
violent in temper, vindictive in disposition, arrogant in language and demeanor, 
and unscrupulous in carrying his own cause to a successful issue. This view of 
Jenings derives support from his conduct in other affairs. He settled in West Jersey 
in 1680, and soon after received from Edward Byllinge who had purchased the 
Province and Proprietary rights from the Duke of York, a commision as Gover- 
nor. This he at first accepted, and acted under till 1683, when he caused himself 
to be elected Governor by the Assembly, a proceeding which was upon arbitration, 
adjudged by George Fox, George Whitehead and twelve other prominent Quakers 
selected to decide the question, to be without a shadow of authority and in direct 
violation of Byllinge's rights. Jenings refused to acquiesce in this decision and 
continued the controversy until the government of the Province was surrendered 
to the Crown. Jenings' pamphlet relates to this affair. He was for some years a 
member of the Governor's Council and Speaker of the West Jersey Assembly. 
The Case Put and Decided is said by Joseph Smith and Sabin to have been pub- 
lished in Philadelphia in 1698 or 1699. If printed in America it most probably 
came from Bradford's press, but it could certainly not have been issued in Phila- 
delphia, as Jansen's press belonged to the Quakers and was under the censor- 
ship of a committee, of which Jenings was a member. Brinley's copy sold 
for $60.

"The main doctrine of this book,'' says the Rev. Morgan Edwards, "is, that 
the divine nature and the human were so blended in the person of Christ that He 
was not properly God nor properly man, but a compound of both. " For a reply, 
see No. 94, infra, and also note to 78, infra. The introduction is of great his- 
torical importance, as it contains an account of the Keithian and other religious 
factions, by one who had been active in several and who at the moment was the 
leader of a fresh schism. 
Davis was a native of Wales. He was sent to Oxford, but left the University 
on becoming a Quaker. He arrived in Philadelphia in 1684, and was a recognized 
preacher of the Society, but left it with Keith. In 1697 he joined the Pennepack 
Baptist Church, from which he was expelled Feb. 17, 1698-9, for heresy. He 
became a Seventhday Baptist, and acted as minister of a congregation near 
Frankford until 1711. He then took charge of a Church at Westerly, Rhode 
Island, where he remained until 1727, when he returned to Pennsylvania. In 
1734 he was again in Rhode Island, from whence, ten years later, he led a party 
of Seventhday Baptists to found a settlement at Squan, New Jersey, of which he 
became the pastor. He died there in 1745 in his 82d year. 
NIESSEN. (G. D.) A Paper by Gertrude Dericks Niessen. 
Philadelphia: Reynier Jansen. 1700. 73 
On the 26th of 11th mo. 1699, the following entry was made in the minutes of 
the Philadelphia Monthly Meeting : "Gertrude Dericks Niessen's Paper, first 
printed in Dutch and since translated into English, being read in the last Prepar- 
atory Meeting and brought hither for the consideration of this Meeting about 
printing is referred to the next Quarterly Meeting. " It was finally approved, and 
the Meeting paid for printing it. Jos. Smith, in his Catalogue of Friends' Books 
indicates "An Epistle" printed in English, about 1677, as having been repre- 
sented by Jansen. But Mrs. Niessen was the author of several tracts which were 
first printed in Dutch, and it is very doubtful whether Smith is correct.

WATTS. (Rev. John) A Baptist Catechism. Philadelphia: 
Reynier Jansen. 1700. 78 
The Rev. John Watts, says Morgan Edwards (Materials p. 12), composed a 
catechism or little system of divinity, which was published in 1700. 
The Rev. John Watts was born Nov. 3, 1661, at Lydel in the county of Kent, 
and came to Pennsylvania in 1686. He joined the Baptists, was called to the 
Ministry in 1688, and had charge of the Pennepack Church from 1690 till his 
death-Aug. 27, 1702. In addition to the Catechism, he wrote a reply to William 
Davis' "Jesus the Crucified Man " (No. 72, supra). But this was never published. 1701

This is the first printed collection of the Laws of Pennsylvania, and was in- 
tended to give in full all the laws then in force, with the titles of such as were 
obsolete, expired or repealed. Several Acts, and the titles of about a dozen which 
should have been included, are omitted. The volume is badly printed and full of 
typographical errors. Mr. Thos. I. Wharton, in Nov. 1827, bought a copy for 
fifteen cents, which was sold at auction in Nov. 1881, for $200.

The Memorial recites : That the said Land was first possessed by the French 
who were driven from it by the Dutch, and afterwards with New York, it was 
granted to the Duke of York, who settled 1100 English Families upon it; after 
the Revolution these settlers were driven out by the French and the land laid 
waste ; that in 1691 it was granted to the Province of Massachusetts-Bay, and 
in 1696 given up to the French, from whom it was retaken in 1710 ; that the 
petitioners had applied in 1716, and in 1718 obtained a recognition of their rights 
from the Lords of Trade, and had appointed Trustees, who had joined in a peti- 
tion presented in July, 1718. The petitioners therefore pray that the said Lands 
and Islands may be erected into a Province by the name of Georgia. Probably 
printed and circulated with a view to attract settlers.

Keimer probably began the republication of "The Independent Whig" towards 
the close of 1723, in weekly numbers of four pages. He published twenty num- 
bers in this form, and then printed off the remainder in book form, using the 
weekly numbers to make up the complete work. The weekly numbers contain 
advertisements of works issued by him in 1723, while the last page of the volume 
offers others which were printed in 1724.

This work is believed to have been the first published in the British Colonies of 
America, upon the general subject of Political Economy. The breadth of view 
displayed by the Author and the importance of his suggestions called forth the 
approval of Governor Keith, who, in an Address to the Assembly, said :-"I ob- 
serve some Ingenious Disinterested Person, bearing an apparent good will to the 
Prosperity of this Province has lately published some very useful Thoughts relating 
to the further Improvement of our Product and Commerce : I am of Opinion that 
such generous Views deserve to be Encouraged, and will become a very proper 
Subject for the Deliberation of this and future Assemblies, and if by any decent 
Representation to the Court or Parliament of Great Britain, we can reasonably 
propose to advance the Trade of this and the Neighboring Provinces, by such 
means as shall appear to be perfectly consistent with the true Interest of our 
Mother Country : I shall not only be ready to give all the Assistance that is in my 
Power, but also to use my best Endeavours to Engage our good Neighbours to 
concur with us in such Things as evidently tend to our Mutual Advantage, and 
the Prosperity of the British Trade in General." It is said to have been the first 
book printed by Franklin (see Mem. Hist. Soc. Pa., Vol. iv., p. 36, and Sparks' 
Life of Franklin, p. 242). If this is so the type was probably set up during 1724 
for Franklin, in his Autobiography written many years afterwards, states that he 
sailed for London in the Autumn of that year. A small edition of it was privately 
reprinted in 1878. Brinley's copy sold for $100.

Index, pp. (16). Signatures A to T eight pages, and the others, with b between 
A and B four pages each. This work, written in Dutch and printed at Amster- 
dam in 1717, was translated into English by the author and published at London 
in 1722. A few copies finding their way to America, the Philadelphia Meeting 
on learning the edition was exhausted, proposed to Andrew Bradford that he 
should reprint it. Bradford delayed giving a definite answer until after he had 
arranged with his aunt Tacy Sowle, the English publisher of the work, for 700 
copies of the second edition, and then declined. The Quakers then applied to 
Keimer who readily undertook the work at a much lower price than had been 
offered Bradford. It proved an unfortunate venture for him as he had not the 
capital to carry on so large a work, and although he proceeded but slowly with 
it and received considerable advances of money from the Quakers, as well as sub- 
scriptions for 500 copies, he became involved in debt by his purchases of type 
and paper. The work was begun in 1725, and was not finished till the latter part 
of 1728, and then only by giving out part of it to Franklin and Meredith. Frank- 
lin in his autobiography alludes to his firm's share of the work, thus : "Brientnal 
particularly procured for us, from the Quakers, the printing 40 sheets of their 
history, the rest to be done by Keimer ; and upon this we worked exceeding hard, 
for the price was low. It was a folio, pro patria size, in pica, with long primer 
notes. I composed a sheet a day, and Meredith worked it off at press." On 
this passage Mr. Nathan Kite remarks : "Franklin was at that very time writing 
against Keimer, and doing everything to injure him in his power ; and with that 
want of candour, characteristic of a mean mind, does not acknowledge in his me- 
moirs to whom their new office was indebted for its first work. No one would 
guess from his account that the patronage came from the poor, despised, carica- 
tured Keimer." 
The Brinley catalogue claims that the "Title and Dedication, pp. 457 to 674, 
and the Index (16 pp.) are from Franklin's press." And adds : " These make over 
sixty (instead of forty) sheets of the whole work." In this I cannot agree, as 
there is no difference in the type, roman or italic, or in the numerals of the pages 
and marginal dates in the first 532 pages. From page 533 there not only appeared 1728 
IN PENNSYLVANIA 
93 
slightly larger and differently shaped numerals in the paging, a new and larger 
figure in the marginal dates, but the italic letter is not from the same matrices as 
that used throughout the preceding pages. As to the Title and Dedication, the 
fact that the first nineteen signatures contain an inset of four pages each was 
overlooked. The Preface is unquestionably from Keimer's press, and as the 
Dedication and first two pages of the preface form sheet A 2, the inset of A, 
which is itself composed of the Title, reverse blank, and the third and fourth 
pages of the Preface, these two leaves could not have been printed by Franklin 
and Meredith. In my opinion they printed from page 533 to 694, and the Index 
(16 pp.), or fourty-four and a half sheets in all. Wight's copy sold for $26 ; Brin- 
ley's for $40.

Franklin's account of the origin of this paper is that George Webb, a bound 
servant of his old employer, Keimer, having found means to purchasethe remain- 
der of his time from his master, offered his services to Franklin and Meredith. 
"We could not,'' says Franklin, "then employ him, but I foolishly let him know 
as a secret that I soon intended to begin a newspaper, and might have work for 
him ... I told him . . . that the then only newspaper . . . was a paltry thing, 
wretchedly managed, no way entertaining, and yet was profitable. I therefore 
freely thought a good paper would scarcely fail of good encouragement. . . . 
Webb . . . told Keimer, who immediately . . . published proposals for one him- 
self. . . . To counteract them . . . I wrote several amusing pieces for Bradford's 
paper under the title of the Busy Body, which Brientnal continued some months 
. . . and Keimer's proposals, which we burlesqued and ridiculed, were dis- 
regarded. He began his paper, however, and before carrying it on three quarters 
of a year, with at most only ninety subscribers, he offered it to me for a trifle, and 
I, having been ready for some time to go on with it, took it in hand directly." 
In an advertisement in No. 13, Keimer incidentally says : " Two hundred and fifty 
[copies of the Gazette] are printed every week," and in No. 27, he says : " I had 
at least at the rate of £120 per Annum, clear of all charges secured to me, by my 
Newspaper and Leeds' Almanack." 
Keimer's paper was better printed than Bradford's Mercury, but in regard to 
news, it was inferior. Extracts from Chambers' Dictionary, constituting the 
"Universal Instructor," occupied the first page and a half, and the rest was filled 
up from the English papers and magazines, with a scanty column of advertise- 
ments, and once in a while an original essay or poem. In No. 18, a reprint of 
De Foe's Religious Courtship was begun. This filled a page or more of each 
succeeding number, until the paper passed into Franklin's hands, when it was 
discontinued. Brinley's copy, with numbers 40 to 111 of the Pa. Gazette, sold 
for $560. 1729

"The Remarks on Zenger's Trial had also been collected together in London, 
as they likewise were about the same Time at Pennsylvania ; both taken from 
the Barbadoes Gazette." Caribbeana, London, 1741, p. vii. The London edition 
says that the Remarks were written by two eminent lawyers in the American 
Colonies, but Ebenezer Hazard's copy, now in the Library of Congress, is marked 
in contemporaneous hand "By Johathan Blenman, King's Attorney in Barba- 
does." Andrew Hamilton replied to these "Remarks" in a series of articles 
published in the Pa. Gazette from Nov. 10 to Dec. 8, 1737. This pamphlet has 
been attributed to Franklin's press, but upon a careful examination, the printer's 
blocks which appear on page 6, cannot be found in any of his publications, while 
they appear in the Weekly Mercury, Dec. 28, 1736. All the other blocks are 
either in the Mercury or some of Bradford's other publications.

Published, so far as I know, except the first number, on the 16th of each month 
up to Number 92. Number 93 appeared April 1, 1748, and 94 on April 16, and 
thenceforth the paper was issued on the first and sixteenth of each month, only 
the latter however being numbered, those issued on the first of the month being 
apparently counted as part of the preceding number, up to September, 1756. 
After that date it was issued semi-monthly but at irregular intervals. In Number 
43 the title was changed to " Hoch-Deutsche | Pensylvanische Berichte | . . . |

1753, when it was enlarged to a folio. It was continued semi-monthly, by the 
son and grandson of its founder until 1777. The Historical Society of Pennsyl- 
vania possesses a file of this paper from April 16, 1743 to Nov. 1, 1751, and from 
Jan. 16, 1754 to Dec. 18, 1761. 140

The Weyrauchs Hugel was the first book printed in German type in America, 
and the first book from the press of Christopher Saur. In rather a curious way it 
led to the establishment of the Ephrata press. The 37th verse of the 400th hymn 
runs as follows :- 
"Sehet, sehet, sehet, an ! Sehet, sehet an den Mann ! 
Der von Gott erhoeret ist, Der ist unser Herr und Christ." 
which literally translated is- 
''Look, look, look, Look, look upon the man ; 
He is heard by God ; He is our Lord and Christ." 
The compositor asked Saur whether he thought that more than one Christ had 
appeared. Saur inquired of him why he suggested such an idea ; when the man 
pointed out this verse and said it appeared to him that by it Conrad Beissel, the 
founder of the Ephrata Cloister, meant himself. Saur wrote this to Beissel, and 
asked whether it had any foundation ; whereupon Beissel replied to him that he 
was a fool. This language did not please Saur, who soon after issued a pamphlet 
censuring Beissel, saying among other things that his name contained the number 
666 of the beast of the Apocalypse, and that he had received something from all 
the planets-''from Mars his strength, from Venus his influence over women, and 
from Mercury his comedian trick." Beissel became quite angry, and one of the 
results of the widening breach was a new press at Ephrata. The Weyrauchs 
Hiigel is the largest and most important collection of the hymns of the Ephrata 
Cloister. Many of them were written there by Beissel, but unfortunately it is 
not possible, except in a few instances, to determine the authorship of particular 
hymns. Christina Hoehn, ''a pious and God-fearing woman," who died an 
inmate of the Cloister at an advanced age, wrote those upon pages 465 and 456, 
beginning " Wenn mir das Creutz will machen Schmertzen," and "Ich dringe 
ein in Jesu Liebe." A MSS. volume, beautifully written and illuminated, in the 
collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, contains the music to which 
these hymns were sung. 
As the edition was small and the book was in common use for devotional pur- 
poses, it has become extremely scarce, nearly all of the few known copies being 
imperfect. For accounts of it, see the Deutsche Pionier, Vol. VIII., page 47, and 
Dr. Seidensticker's paper on ''Die Deutsch-Amerikanischer Incunabula," in the 
same volume, page 475. s. w. p.

This was the first Magazine published in the American Colonies, and was pro- 
jected and edited by John Webbe. The prospectus appeared in the Weekly Mer- 
cury, Nov. 6, 1740. The first number was to have been issued in March, 1741, but 
owing to Franklin's announcing the publication of the General Magazine, the 
January number was issued February 13, 1741, three days earlier than the first 
number of Franklin's Magazine. Number 2 was published on March 17th. 
Number 3 is not advertised in the Weekly Mercury, and was probably the last 
issued.

ZIXZEXDORFF. A Pamphlet criticising some of his actions. 
The Pa. Gazette for Aug. 26, 1742, contains a long advertisement beginning 
"The Reverend Lewis of Thurnstein, since his Return from his second Journey 
to the Indians, has seen a pamphlet without a Name, wherein is contained a story 
stiled Species facti." The charges contained in the pamphlet are taken up and 
answered in twelve paragraphs. There seems to have been considerable bitter- 
ness of feeling between the Presbyterians and Moravians of the time about the use 
of "the House on Arch-Street." 
[ZIXZEXDORFF.] The Remarks, ' which The Author of 
the ' Compendious Extract, &c. In the Preface to his Book Has

Title from Thomas' History of Printing. In the Pa. Gazette, June 2, 1743, 
Crellius announces that he has begun to publish a "Weekly Newspaper in the 
German Language." Sower in his Newspaper, June 16, 1743, makes some remarks 
on Crellius' advertisement, in which he says Crellius has printed several numbers 
in English type, and proposes to continue the paper in " Hollandischer Schrifft, 
bis er eine Hoch-Deutsche Schrifft bekomme." How long Crellius' paper was 
continued has not been ascertained, but in Sower's paper, Sept. 16, 1746, appeared 
an announcement of his intention of going to Holland.

Reprinted at London (the 2d ed. ?) 1750; Glasgow, (the 3d ed. ?) 1751 ; The 
Third Edition, Philadelphia, W. Dunlap, 1758 ; The Fourth Edition, Glasgow, 
R. Urie, 1758 ; London, Fielding and Walker, 1778; and Philadelphia : W. Duane, 
[1812. ?] The London edition of 1778 says " With explanatory Notes by Benja- 
min Franklin, LL. D." The last Philadelphia edition goes a step further 
and says "Translated, with explanatory Notes by Benjamin Franklin, was in- 
tended for insertion in Duane's edition of Franklin's works, but attention having 
been called to the name of the real translator and annotator it was omitted. The 
first edition is generally conceded to be the ' finest production of Franklin's press, 
and a really splendid specimen of the art.' The title page is rubricated." The 
translator and annotator was Chief Justice James Logan. In "The Printer to 
the Reader," Franklin incorrectly called it, " this first translation of a classic in this 
Western World." " Sandys' translation of Ovid " although printed in London, 
was made in Virginia some ninety years earlier, Keimer in 1729, published in Phil- 
adelphia, "Epictetus his Morals," and Franklin himself, in 1735, had printed 
Logan's translation of "Cato's Moral Distiches." It is (but not uncut) more 
frequently met with than other specimen of Franklin's press, but nevertheless 
generally commands a high price. Gilbert's (1873) was sold for $42.50 ; Brinley's 
for $30 ; Hoffman's for $60 ; Wight's for $73 ; Bruce's $90. Uncut copies are 
rare. Rice's (uncut?) sold for $155 ; Menzies for $168 ; and one of Brinley's for 
$260, and the other for $110.

" It consists of 381 tickets, printed on stiff, white paste-board, inches in size, 
and numbered like lottery tickets, each containing a poetic gem composed by the 
celebrated Gerhard Tersteegen, and a verse or passage from the Scriptures. 
These tickets were enclosed in neat cases, some made of leather, and others of 
wood nicely dove-tailed. The good people in olden time enjoyed themselves, 
generally on Sunday afternoons, by drawing prizes out of this sacred or spiritual 
treasury, and often when they felt gloomy or despondent they would resort to it

[ECKERLIN. (Israel)] Part of an Anti-Moravian tract. 
Ephrata: 1745. 925 
The Chronicon Ephratense, p. 129, says : "A book against the Moravians, written 
by one of the Ephrata brethren by order of the 'Vorsteher' Conrad Beissel, 
with an appendix by the brother Prior (Israel Eckerlin), and an essay by Johannes 
Hildebrand showing marriage to have been the cause of man's fall, was printed 
in English as well as in German, by Eckerlin's order, soon after the arrival of 
the press at Ephrata. When Eckerlin, not long afterwards, withdrew from the 
'brotherhood,' both editions of this book, as well as others in which he was 
concerned, were burned."

"This was the first collection of the hymns of the Ephrata cloister issued from 
their own press, and was printed on paper manufactured by the brethren. Many 
of the hymns were written by Conrad Beissel, or Vater Friedsam who was the 
' * Vorsteher. " It well illustrates their peculiarities in bookmaking. Most of their 
publications being intended only for their own use they issued them in such shape 
as best answered their purpose at the time, and variations in the text are numer- 
ous. One of the remarkable features of the cloister was the great number of hymn 
books written and published there. Beissel was an expert musician and composer. 
Fahnestock says : "In composing sacred music he took his style from the music 
of nature, and the whole, comprising several large volumes, are founded on 
the tones of the JEolian Harp. The singing is the JEolian Harp harmonized. It 
is very peculiar in its style and concords and in its execution. The tones issuing 
from the choir imitate very soft instrumental music conveying a softness and devo- 
tion almost superhuman. In a 'Vorrede uber der Sing Arbeit ' Beissel, in this 
volume, gives a full and technical description of his method and views of music."

This was a periodical publication of some kind, not one of which is now known 
to exist. I am indebted to Professor Seidensticker for a reference to an article in 
Sower's newspaper for Feb. 16, 1750, in answer to a " Schmahscrifft" which ap- 
peared "in Mr. Bohm Fama" of the 10th of February. When this periodical 
began or ended is not known, but as Bohm died in July, 1751 (See Sower's 
paper for Aug. 16, 1751), it was probably discontinued before or about that time.

Wrangel, "Published (in Dr. Franklin's printing-office) a translation of Luther's 
Shorter Catechism into English.'' As von Wrangel did not arrive in this country 
till 1759, and the first reference is to a passage in a letter written in 1749 which 
contains a distinct statement that Brunnholtz prepared the catechism for the 
press, and the second reference is to a catechism printed by Henry Miller in 1761 
or 1762, Dr. Reynolds is at least unfortunate in his citations.

GERMAN and English Gazette. Philadelphia: Godhard Arm-

In the Pa. Gazette, Sept. 26, 1751, it is announced that "At the German Print- 
ing-Office, in Arch-street, is now printed every fortnight, a Dutch and English 
Gazette, containing the freshest Advices .... in both Languages." Thomas, 
in his History of Printing, says the paper was called "Die Zeitung." This may 
be correct, but the title given by Prof. Seidensticker is certainly wrong, as it is 
that of a paper which was not begun till about 1755, and was printed entirely in 
German.

Compendium of Logic, including Metaphysics, and one of Ethics, by Samuel 
Johnson, D.D.; with a Philosophical Meditation and Religious Address to the 
Supreme Being, for the use of young students in Philosophy, by William Smith, 
A.M. Published inPhila., in 1753, by B. Franklin, and in London, 1754." No 
doubt this is intended for the title above given. The Philosophical Meditation, 
appended to "Noetica," is by Fenelon, as translated by Bishop Berkeley. The 
" Religious address" seems to be " Mr. Wolleston's Prayer " which is appended 
to "Ethica." Smith seems to had something to do with the re-publication of 
the work in London in 1754, but the Philadelphia edition was undertaken by 
Franklin a year before Smith came to America. See Beardley's Life of Johnson, 
p. 180.

1756. | To which is added, | A celebrated Paper, reprinted from

of the Quakers refusing to keep | the General Fast appointed in 
England, Feb. | 6. 1756. | | | | | | Phil-

This tract gave great offence to the Quakers, and Chattin, two weeks after he 
first advertised it, gave notice in the Pa. Gazette, that he desired " to be excused 
by the Publick from selling any more of the late Address to the Quakers." It 
was then sold by "Black Harry Bookbinder, in Laetitia-Court."

A translation of the " Memoire con tenant le Precis des Faits," published by 
the French Government in 1756, several copies of which were found in French 
vessels captured by American privateers early in 1757. Three or more editions 
were published in Paris, one in quarto and two duodecimo volumes. Proposals 
for publishing, by subscription, a translation appeared in the Pa. Gazette, Feb. 
17, 1757. In May the subscribers were informed that the volume was ready for 
delivery. Two editions (of the same translation) were also printed in New York 
in 1757 under the same title, while another appeared in London as " The Conduct 
of the late Ministry." Part of it was appended to the edition of Livingston's 
Review of the Military Operations in North America, printed in Dublin, 1757. 
A translation appeared in London in 1759 as ''The Mystery Reveal'd." It wTas 
also reprinted in Craig's "Olden Time," Vol. II. The memorial occupies the 
first 58 pages, and is based upon the captured papers of Washington and Brad- 
dock, which form a large part of the remainder of the volume.

This is only number of this paper I have met with, and it is particularly interest- 
ing as being the one on which the prosecution against the Rev. William Smith, 
and William Moore, was founded. It is said to have been issued twice a month, 
and was edited by Dr. Smith. The facts that Franklin's name appears in the 
imprint, and that Moore's petition was printed in the Gazette and Journal, were 
entirely ignored in the proceedings of the Assembly.

This tract was probably inspired, if not wholly written by Franklin. Dr. 
William Smith is known to have been the author of "A Brief State, and A Brief 
View, &c. of the Conduct of Pennsylvania." In the list of his published works, 
appended to his ''Life, &c.," by Horace W. Smith, he is said to have been the 
author of this reply to his two former publications. Dr. Smith's relations with 
the Assembly just at that time renders any such claim ridiculous. The Assem- 
bly would hardly have rewarded him for procuring an order from the "King in 
Council," annuling some of their resolves with a request to act as their 
apologist.

Commonly attributed to Franklin when first published, but now known to 
have been written at his instance by Richard Jackson, who was assistant Agent 
of Pennsylvania. Chief Justice Edward Shippen, in a letter dated " Oct. 2, 1760," 
says, "I have seen B. Franklin's Pamphlet, and think it the best book that has 
been published in England concerning American Affairs. He appears to have 
thoroughly understood his subject and has done justice to the cause he espouses. 
Certainly we should be dupes to give up Canada."

©(S3? $Pfyilabelptyifcfye Staatsbote. Philadel- 
phia: Henrich Miller. 1762. Folio. 1862 
The full title of the earliest issue of this paper (No. 60) with which I have met 
is given in the following note kindly contributed by Mr. John W. Jordan : 
John Henry Miller, better known as Henry Miller, born in Waldeck, 1702, 
was apprenticed to a printer in Switzerland, published a paper there, and subse- 
quently uniting with the Moravians, managed their publication office at Marien- 
born. His first visit to Pennsylvania was made in company with Zinzendorff, in 
1741, and his second in 1751, when he was engaged by Franklin to superintend 
his German printing, and afterwards by William Bradford. With S. Holland, in 
January, 1752, he published "The Lancaster Gazette," but he retired five months 
afterwards. Returning from Europe in 1760, with new printing materials he 
opened an office on the west side of Second, two doors from Race street, 
where in January of 1762, he published "Der Wochentliche | Philadelphische 
Staatsbote. | Mit den neusten Fremdem und Einheimisch Politischen Nachrichten; 
| Samt den | von Zeit zu Zeit in der Kirche und Gelehrten Welt sich ereignenden 
Merkwiirdigkeiten. | Diese Zeitung wird alle Montage ausgegeben, fur Sechs 
Schillinge des Jahrs, bey Henrich Miller, Buchdrucker, | zwischen der Wein 
und Rees-strasse, in der Zweyten-strasse." | The cut of a Post-boy, holding in his 
hand a script on which is Nova, in the centre of the title wTas added in No. 157, 
Jan. 14, 1764, but in No. 226, Feb. 23, 1767, a Post-horn was substituted for the 
script. No. 199, Oct. 31, 1765, is called "Ein Abschieds Geschenk." Miller 
says he finds "himself under the necessity of discontinuing his paper for awhile, 
but thinks it his duty to thank the public in general and the merchants in particular 
for the generous encouragement they have given it; and at the same time requests 
the favor of their custom hereafter, in any stamp-free printing work or translating." 
The publication was resumed on Nov. 18,1765, and on Dec. 2, of the same year, the 
imprint, slightly changed, was removed to the bottom of the fourth page. The 
next change in the title was made with No. 311, Jan. 1768, to "DerWochent- 
liche Pennsylvanische Staatsbote," etc. With No. 696, another change was made 
to " Henrich Millers Pennsylvanische Staatsbote," etc., the cut of the Post boy re- 
moved, and the size of the paper reduced, but it was issued semi-weekly on Tues- 
days and Fridays. July 9, 1776, No. 813, a double sheet was issued, containing 
the full text of the Declaration of Independence, in German, displayed in all the 
typographical wealth of the office. July 30, No. 819, it was again issued weekly 
on Tuesdays ; after December 19, No. 838, on Thursdays, and from Jan. 8, 1777, to 
May 26, 1779, on Wednesdays. The last issue of the Staatsbote prior to occupation 
of the city by British was No. 877, Sept. 17, 1777, and the first after the evacua- 
tion No. 878, Aug. 5, 1778. In May of 1779, Miller disposed of his paper to 
Steiner and Cist, and in No. 920, May 26, published his farewell address. The 
paper contained four pages, folio, with frequent supplements of two pages. Dur- 
ing the Revolution it not unfrequently contained only two pages. The Library 
Company of Philadelphia possesses a nearly complete file of this paper from 
April, 1763, until the close of its career. It was succeeded by "Die Philadel- 
phische Correspondenz, ' ' issued at first by Steiner and Cist, and afterwards by 
Melchoir Steiner. He died at Bethlehem, Pa., March 31, 1782. 380

Collation : Engraved title, 1 leaf; Dedication, pp. (2) ; Introduction to the 
Art of Psalmody, v-ix; Engraved Music (in 3 parts) xxii leaves. The dedica- 
tion- "To the Reverend Mr. Richard Peters, Rector of the United Churches of 
Christ Church and St. Peter's Church, in Philadelphia "-says "this Attempt to 
the Improvement of our Psalmody, . . . [is] made ... in as clear and easy a 
Manner as possible, so that children, with very little attention, may understand 
them." The minutes of the Vestry of the United Churches contain, in the year 
1764, a resolution of thanks to Francis Hopkinson for his efforts to "instruct 
the children of the united congregations the art of psalmody." The music was 
probably engraved by Henry Dawkins.
