Binding worn and scuffed; internally, foxing else very good. bjcb 352227 [Title continues]: Revised and republished by direction of the Philadelphia Society for the Establishment and Support of Charity Schools. To which is added, an account of the origin, progress, and present condition of that institution. According to Howes R-515, this is the first edition in book form of Rush's account of Ludwick's life, the first appearance being within an 1801 periodical. Ludwick was a German-American, a patriot and the "Baker General" for George Washington's army. At Ludwick's death in 1801, $10,000 was bequeathed to what was originally known as the "Philadelphia Society for the Free Instruction of Indigent Boys." From page 35 to the book's end, the history of this benevolent Philadelphia institution is given. The names of Reubens Peale and other Philadelphia notables are listed in a "Catalogue" section giving the names of pas and present officers, secretaries, and managers of the Society. Scarce to commerce. A disbound copy brought $150 at Swann in 1983.
