GODFREY, THOMAS. Juvenile Poems on Various Subjects. With the Prince of Parthia, a Tragedy . To which is prefixed, Some Account of the Author and his Writings. Philadelphia: Henry Miller, 1765. 4to. xxvi, [2], 223 p. Neat modern cloth, leather spine label. Overall light browning of the text with some foxing, dampstains on first and last few leaves, two very faint old institutional perforation stamps. An entirely respectable, wide-margined copy of a book that is never found in fine original condition. First edition of one of the landmarks of early American literature. Written in 1759 when Godfrey was 22 years old, published in 1765 just shortly after his death at age 27, and produced at the Southwark Theatre in Philadelphia, the "Prince of Parthia" was the first play to be written, published, and produced by an American in America. "The publication of 'The Prince of Parthia' makes 1765 a landmark in American cultural history . an important dramatic precedent in America." (Two Hundred Years of American Plays, 1765-1964: An Exhibition Arranged to Celebrate the Bicentennial of the Publication of Thomas Godfrey's "The Prince of Parthia" (Brown University Library, 1965). Edited by Nathaniel Evans, himself an important early American poet who also died young, the work includes an introductory sketch of Godfrey and his writings, a postscript, list of subscribers' names, and a considerable selection of Godfrey's verse. The subscribers, chiefly in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, include Benjamin Franklin and his son, Governor William Franklin of New Jersey, Governor John Penn of Pennsylvania, many students of "Jersey College," &c. Thomas Godfrey was the son of Thomas Godfrey, a friend of Franklin, one of the original Junto members, and the inventor of the quadrant. A very scarce book--only one copy, disbound and in mediocre condition--has appeared at major auction in the last fifty years. Evans 9983; Stoddard & Whitesell 176.

First edition. First edition. xxvi, [2], 223, [1] pp. 1 vols. Small 4to. The first play produced by an American. First edition of The Prince of Parthia which was "the first drama written by a native American to be produced upon the professional stage" (DAB). The play debuted on 24 April 1767 at the Southwark Theatre in Philadelphia. Performed by David Douglass's American Company, its riches were such that a second performance was deemed unnecessary. Nonetheless it's a significant moment in American theatre, not least for being performed in the first permanent theatre in the country. This work and its performance precedes Royall Tyler's comedy, the Contrast, by some twenty years. Alas, Godfrey did not live to see his play produced. He had passed away from yellow fever in 1763. However, in his short life he was friends with the likes of Benjamin Franklin, Francis Hopkinson and Benjamin West, all significant players in the founding of American arts. He was also the son of the inventor of the same name which possibly facilitated these relationships. In addition to the text of the play, his poetry is collected here. Godfrey's poetry is considered to be the some of the best produced in the colony and its inclusion here adds to the significance of the volume. Furthermore, this work includes two pieces titled "Elegy, to the memory of Mr Thomas Godfrey" one by John Green, the other by Nathaniel Evans, who helped usher this volume into print. It is complete with the list of subscribers. Rare. ABPC lists no copies at auction in the past 35 years. Evans 9983; Sabin 27658; Hughes p.38; Hildeburn, C.R. Pennsylvania, 2129; Wegelin, O.
