Verlag: Printed by Timothy Green, New-London [CT], 1760
Anbieter: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC, Lockhart, TX, USA
16mo. [2], 118 pp. Collation: A-P4. With the Articles for the Administration of Church Discipline bound in with its own title page and the Timothy Green 1760 imprint, but the pagination and signatures continuous. Bound in contemporary American calf over thin wooden "scaleboard." Spine chipped at the head and the foot; upper corner of the front board broken, some chipping to the other corners; a bit toned and lightly foxed; in good condition. There can be no doubt that this scaleboard binding was made in Connecticut ca. 1760-1763: not only was the book printed in New-London for the exclusive use of Connecticut congregationalists, but the first blank leaf is inscribed: "From the Colony of Connecticut to the Church att Somars [sic] 1763" (i.e. at Somers, CT). It is a remarkable fact that our binding is older than all the Connecticut examples in the Papantonio "Early American Bindings" Collection by more 20 years (the earliest one obtained by him was bound in Hartford ca. 1787). Our hard-grained calf binding is unsophisticated; it has had some excellent damage which reveals its construction: the boards were made out of SCALEBOARD, i.e. thin planed wood, and not pastepaper boards. The use of scaleboard in early American bookbindings has received considerable scholarly attention of late; see Renee Wolcott's "Splintered: The History, Structure, and Conservation of American Scaleboard Bindings" in: Book and Paper Group Annual vol. 32 (2013) pp. 58-79, with a bibliography of no less than 32 references. The present text is the so-called Saybrook Platform, which was "one of the most important books printed in the eighteenth century" (Streeter no. 663, describing the 1710 first edition). It was also essential to the development of the American Puritan church. The Saybrook Platform emphasized rule by *councils* of church leaders, rather than by the individual congregations within themselves. The adoption of the Saybrook Platform resulted in rigid orthodoxy, and effectively made the church in Connecticut a form of Presbyterianism. It is unclear why the Saybrook Platform was reprinted in 1760 (fifty years after the first edition). It is equally unclear why the present volume was given to the Somers Church by one or representatives of "the Colony of Connecticut" -- who were these donors exactly? Evans 8733. Sabin 15448.

12mo., (5 4/8 x 3 2/8 inches). (A bit spotted and browned throughout). Fine American tree calf, the smooth spine gilt-ruled in five compartment, black morocco lettering-piece in the second (head of the spine chipped with loss, but a lovely copy). PROVENANCE: with the near contemporary pencilled ownership inscriptions of the Whitman family on the front free endpaper. First published in 1710. The Saybrook Synod, meeting in Connecticut in 1708, produced this, one of the most important profession of faith documents in New England. It is a fifteen-point statement of ecclesiastical polity that reaffirms the Savoy Declaration and the Heads of Agreement. "The articles provided for regional 'consociations' of churches with powers of oversight of the local congregations. It also created ministerial associations in each region, with powers to examine ministerial candidates on doctrine and morals"(ColonialWarsCT.org). "Among the memorable Providences relating to our English Nation in the Last Century, must be acknowledged the settling of English Colonies in the American parts of the World ; among all which this hath been peculiar unto and to the distinguishing glory of that tract called New-England, that the colonies there were originally formed, not for the advantage of trade, and a worldly interest ; but upon the most noble foundation, even of religion, and the Liberty of their Consciences, with respect unto the ordinances of the Gospel administered in the purity and power of them; a happiness then not to be enjoyed in their native soil" (Preface). Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
