Contact seller2-star sellerFull-Leather. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Second Edition. Porter, an early 19th Century Congregational minister and seminary teacher, wrote several works on rhetoric and speech, on what he called the "art of reading." This book, "The Rhetorical Reader," was intended for use in academies and high schools and was issued in over 20…0 editions throughout the U.S. during the 1800s, becoming a seminal document in the study of speech pathology. This 1849 copy is from the first or second printing of the second edition, revised by James N. MacElligot. About 4 3/4 x 7 inches, 312 pages, including an appendix and 133 reading exercises, in full brown leather-covered boards with gold lettering on paper label on spine. Leather is considerably scuffed and worn, especially at corners. Leather on spine is chipped with quarter-inch pieces missing from spine ends. Both exterior and interior hinges are cracked but continuing to hold quite firmly. Text edges soiled. Text is clean and complete, though end pages and text proper lightly foxed. A faint signature is just visible on fep with a one-line notation on rear end page. All that said, book is basically clean and fully legible and remains a decent example of an early document in speech pathology's history.

"Printed by Flagg and Gould, some of the earliest printers of Hebrew texts in America, and one of the longest-running continually operated presses in the US, still open today. Putnam, whose ordination is the occasion for this pamphlet, later called Parker, whose sermon ends the pamphlet, an 'infidel' and a 'subversive' intent on destroying Christianity. Parker?s 'radical' beliefs split the city?s Congregationalists and led to the building of the granite Unitarian church on State Street in 1826.".

Add to basketCondition: Very Good. Octavo (in 4's) paper covers 30pp - very slight toning (SABIN 6423 lists only 2 locations Harvard & Philadelphia Library). *An uplifting sermon but somewhat intolerant in asserting that "The Professors of this Institution . are at perfect liberty to renounce these opinions . but in that case, they are bound…, as honest and honourable men, to relinquish their present station". Porter was later appointed President of the Andover Theological Seminary, which shared its campus with Phillips Academy, and was founded in 1807 by orthodox Calvinists who had fled Harvard College after it appointed a liberal Unitarian theologian to a professorship of divinity. The Seminary was independent from Phillips Academy but shared the same board of directors (Wikipedia). 1 volume. Softcover.
