Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. First Boston Edition. 276 pages. 12mo. Bound in contemporary sheep. Red Moroccan spine label. Front joint cracked. Foxing browning. Contemporary signature of James Hyde. Evans 30435. First published 1766, Fordyce's sermons was a collection of instructions on how a woman should behave. The book was widely reprinted throughout the 18th century, with this copy being the first Boston edition. To Fordyce, women were to be attentive to men, attractive, and illustrate Christian ideals of womanhood and modesty. Sermons to Young Woman came under heavy criticism in Mary Wollstonecraft's "Vindication of the Rights of Women," published 1792. In Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," Mr. Collins reads aloud from Sermons to the Bennet sisters. "Lydia gaped as he opened the volume, and before he had, with very monotonous solemnity, read three pages, she interrupted him". (Austen, Pride and Prejudice, Bentley, 1853. 60 p.) Austen's portrayal of Mr. Collins' reading of Sermons gives an intertextual criticism of the stifling patriarchalism and subservience promoted by Fordyce's outmoded Sermons. The value of this book isn't in its precepts, rather in illustrating the history of the struggle for women's equality. The perceptions about women promoted in this book kept women from being full members of society and colored the views of 18th and early 19th century American and British society.

The work is taken from the fourth English edition (1786), and was reprinted in America as late as 1813. It was in this form that the rights to Perry's Dictionary were acquired by Charles and George Merriam, who published it as their first book in Brookfield, Massachusetts in 1801, and their successful venture with Perry paved the way for them to acquire the rights to Noah Webster's American Dictionary in 1844.

A-U6 W6 X-Z6 (Z6 verso blank). Text printed in two columns. 1 vols. 12mo. This rare edition of the New Testament, printed in 1794 at Boston for a consortium of booksellers, aimed to provide a distinctly American printed Bible as an alternative to the British printings being imported, and thus included the Great Seal of the United States prominently displayed on the title page. Thus suggesting that even at the dawn of the American republic, certain clauses of the Bill of Rights were subject to fluid interpretation. This is an early appearance of the Great Seal of the United States and is the only instance where it was used in conjunction with a patently religious work. Copies are recorded at AAS and Duke.
