About This Item
Andover and New York: Flagg and Gould and J. Leavitt, 1832. 8vo, pp. vii, [2], 10-231, [1]; original purple cloth-backed boards, paper label on spine; spine sunned and extremities worn, upper joint cracked and cloth peeling; upper board creased; the occasional light dampstain, text otherwise good and sound. This copy with the ownership signature of "D. R. Goodwin / Andover / Theol. Sem. / 1834." Daniel Raynes Goodwin (1811-1890) "the ninth provost of the University of Pennsylvania, was born in North Berwick, Maine, in 1811. Goodwin attended the academy in South Berwick and the Limerick Academy before matriculating at Bowdoin College. After graduating from Bowdoin in 1832, he briefly taught at an academy in Hallowell, Maine, before matriculating at the Andover Theological Seminary" (Penn People). Also, with a pencil note at the top of the front free endpaper: "from President Josiah H. Penneman's (U. of P.) library." Prior to his joining Andover as professor of sacred literature, Stuart had no acquaintance with Hebrew. He immediately began intensive study of the language and became one of the few native-born Americans to know enough to teach it. Lack of funding compelled Stuart to produce his own grammar for the benefit of his students, which was first circulated in manuscript, then printed in 1813, and expanded in 1821. He had to import Hebrew type, and as local printers couldn't properly set it, did much of the setting himself (DAB).
