G. Lane & C.B. Tippett, New York, 1845. Third Ed., Revised and Corrected. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good Condition. Book Scarce matched set of Bang’s history, which chronicles Methodism from its introduction in New York City in 1766 up through the General Conference of 1840. Banks provides a tremendous amount of detail, including regular updates on membership. Each of the volumes has a frontispiece. This set went through several editions by various publishers from Mason and Lane’s First Edition in 1838 on. However, a complete set from the same printing is difficult to find. Although a WorldCat search found multiple holdings, most of them turned out to be only one or two volumes. Only two libraries (under two OCLC numbers) reported a complete set of the 1845 printing: William Clements Library at the University of Michigan (244673815) and the Claremont School of Theology Library (874344217).

Abraham Small, Philadelphia, 1824. First Edition. Hardcover (Full Leather). Very Good Condition. Book Sabin 44787; Howes M316. First edition, but without rear advertisement leaf. Written by the fourth and arguably most important Supreme Court chief justice. Originally published as Marshall's Introduction to his Life of George Washington, now issued in its first separate (and corrected) edition. In his Preface Marshall explains the reason for publishing his history of the colonies in a separate volume, in "a form less exceptionable than that which it originally bore" (p. vii): "From the extreme, I may add unpardonable, precipitation with which it was hurried to the press, many errors were overlooked which, on a perusal of the book, were as apparent to the author as to others. He was desirous of correcting these errors, and of making the work more worthy of the public to which it was offered, as well as more satisfactory to himself. For this purpose he . . . has made several… Read More
