Item description from seller

First Thomas printing. Text printed in two columns. 158 (of 160)pp. Lacks the terminal text leaf containing the Nicene Creed. 1 vols. 8vo. First printing of the Psalter designed for children from the press of Isaiah Thomas, who began printing circa 1779 and who was one of the pioneering historians of printing in America. The New England Psalter was printed regularly in Boston between 1730 and 1774, and was a basic pedagogical tool along with the Primer. After 1776, printing resumed, with the present title, in Boston, where Fleet published two editions (1781 and 1783), and Thomas printed his edition in 1784. There is a second issue the same year, Isaiah Thomas for Ebenezeer Battelle, also scarce. Of the two issues combined, ESTC records four copies (with at least one being very defective). Evans 18359; Welch 1073.3; ESTC W4717; Sabin 66460 Contemporary calf-backed blue paper covered wooden boards, some cracking to boards and loss of paper, lacks front endpaper. Provenance: Mary Ann Green (early signature on rear pastedown); Walter A. Frankel (booklabel). Modern slipcase Text printed in two columns. 158 (of 160)pp. Lacks the terminal text leaf containing the Nicene Creed. 1 vols. 8vo.…
