Item description from seller

Octavo, 9.5 in. x 6 in., pp. [3], 4-39. Uncut along top-edge (Unopened). Heavy blue paper wrappers. Untrimmed fore- and bottom-edges, with tanning and a bit of curling along fore-edge. Light age-toning. Benjamin Tappan was minister in Augusta from 1811-1849. Graduated from Dartmouth College in 1792, Appleton taught at several institutions including Amherst College and then worked at a parish in Hampton, New Hampshire. In the early 19th century, he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from both Dartmouth and Harvard University. In 1807, he was appointed president of Bowdoin, where he remained until he died of tuberculosis in 1819. A congregationalist minister and prominent Christian lecturer, Appleton was notably determined to make Bowdoin students more pious. He worked at the school, right before it reached its full prominence in the 1820s, when Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Franklin Pierce (who married his daughter) attended. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1810,[1] and was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1813.…
