CAUSE OF AMERICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY,

I DEDICATE THIS BOOK.

PREFACE.

" We can imagine the feelings of "The Gentlewoman could she come back to earth and see the mighty republic spreading on all sides, -with large cities and towns covering the sites of the forests which greeted her eyes at the time she was busily engaged in her household affairs, finding here and there a little time to write the verses which were to be issued under the quaint title of The Tenth Mu.se, How pleased would be that Puritan dame if she could survey the scene today, and how happy would be her thoughts as she would realize that her little volume had been the first, a forerunner it might be called, of our now numerous and ex cellent list of national poetry. But Mistress Bradstreet did not for one moment suppose that the little volume would some day be looked for with avidity by collectors of our early books, nor did she have a thought of the price a per fect copy now sells for. But, anon. I am no writer of pre faces in fact it is to me one of the difficult and onerous ; most of tasks. I will, however, try my best to write some facts, which in all probability will never be read by anyone. The first collected list of American poetry was issued as an appendix to KettelTs Specimens of American Poetry, is sued in Boston in 1827. For the time it was more complete than might be expected. The titles are fairly full, and the compiler gives, what was at that time very unusual, the pagination. This list, which is of course far from complete, is the only list, with the exception of a few private cata logues, which has up to this time been issued. Well aware of this fact, the compiler has for some years contemplated the work which he now begs to offer, imperfect though it may be, in the hope that it will be of value to those who are interested in early American poetry, and will stimulate, as well, an added interest in the subject. The early poetry of America should be divided into three distinct classes, the Religious, the Patriotic and the Hu morous. To the first class belong all the Odes and Elegies, writ ten in a wonderfully verbose style, with remarkably long and heart-rending titles. The Patriotic is the most interesting and from a histori cal standpoint, the most valuable. The most interesting examples in this class are the pamphlets and broadsides, written before and during the Revolutionary War. In the third class are found the works of some of the most famous of our early writers, and the names of Trum- bull, Freneau, Hopkinson and Barlow are familiar to every schoolboy. But it is not from the standpoint of literary excellence that these early efforts are of so much interest and value to those who are at all acquainted with them, but from a his toric point of view. While this statement may be disputed by some, it is nevertheless true that a large amount of most invaluable history will be found in these little known vol umes. Many events, some of a character entirely local, would be unknown today but for some broadside or pam phlet which has withstood the ravages of time. Few, however, have given the subject proper attention, and the names of Greene, Brinley, McKee and C, Fiske Har ris stand almost alone as American book gatherers who have included American poetry among the objects of their search. The dispersal of the McKee collection, followed by the of sale the Brown University duplicates, has recently awakened an interest in the subject, and the prices realized at those two sales went far beyond the most enthusiastic expectations. The following list is believed to be as perfect a gathering of titles of books and pamphlets as can be made at the pres time. ent The broadsides, however, must represent only a small of the part issues of the press in this direction, as many are now irretrievably lost or are where they cannot be found at this late day. I have excluded certain books which might be classed as but Poetry which I believe hardly deserve a place in this work. Such for instance are Psalm and Hymn books. I have also excluded in some cases mere translations, as Sandys's Ovid. The works of such writers as James Ralph, who was born in America, but did most of his writing in Europe, are also excluded. In the compilation of this list I have received valuable aid and advice from several friends whom I now wish to thank. To Mr. Harry L. Koopman and Miss Bertha Tucker, librarian and cataloguer respectively of Brown Uni versity Library, I wish to extend my most heartfelt thanks for the kind and unselfish aid which they have rendered to me in the compilation of this work. Without this aid which they so kindly and willingly extended, this book would be far from complete at the present time. If all librarians and assistants would co-operate in this way with those engaged in bibliographical work, far more could and would be ac complished by those who, like myself, cannot afford the time personally to examine books which are located at long dis tances. I am also under obligations to Mr. Victor H. Paltsits of the Lenox Library, who has made my task easy so far as the books in that institution are concerned. I have also made use of Mr. Paltsits's valuable bibliography of the poet Freneau [N. Y.: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1903]. I wish also to thank Mr. Robert F. Roden and Mr. Daniel Parish, Jr., for assistance rendered. OSCAR WEGKLIN.

An account of him will be found in Sharpens History of Seymour, Conn., Seymour, 1879. I have been unable to find more than the first part of the above production which is probably all ever printed. It was probably printed at Newport as the title is dated from that place. Ebenezer Dayton was the earliest writer in Brookhaven Township. The of Science.

He wrote and published in New York, in 1787, An Address to the Negroes ofthe State of New York. This was reprinted in Philadelphia by Daniel Humphreys in the same year. The only other poetry by him which is known, is a broadside printed about 1760. A copy of this is in the collection of a gentleman of New York, but it has been mislaid and I am therefore unable to give the title. This broadside is prob ably the earliest printed specimen of negro poetry published in Amer ica, ante-dating Phillis Wheatiey by at least ten years.

He resided for some time near Catawessy on the Susquehanna, from whence he removed, in consequence of mental derangement, to Philadelphia, where he was for a time employed as clerk in a scrivener's office. The malady under which he labored compelled him after a time to enter the Pennsylvania Hospital, where he wrote a monody on the death of Washington, published in the Aurora newspaper. Its classic language and noble sentiments attracted considerable attention. The above numbers are fragments and are, as far as known, all that were issued. No. I contains the poem "The Simple, Soft Leylock," extolling the virtues of Washington and John Adams. No. II con tains "The Fruits of Sermon Hunting, etc." and ends rather abruptly.

TOMPSON, BENJAMIN. New-England's Crisis. [1676] 4to. PP- 5-3i- The only copy of this poem which can be traced at this late day is in the Boston Athenaeum. It lacks the title, and it is therefore difficult to discover just where the work was printed. It was how ever probably printed in Boston by John Foster, in 1676. It was reprinted by the Club of Odd Volumes, Boston, 1894. The author, Benjamin Tompson, the earliest native American poet of whom we have any record, was born at Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1642. He received a degree at Cambridge in 1662, and was master of the Public School in Boston from 1667 to 1670. He died April 13, " 1714. For a full account of Thompson see Sibley's Biographical Sketches ofGraduates ofHarvard College" " Mr. Samuel Abbott Green in his Ten Fac-simile Reproductions relating to New England," Boston, 1902, gives the title of the fol lowing work, a copy of which is in the John Carter Brown Library at Providence, R. I., which he claims to be an edition of the Supple ment to New England's Crisis. I may here state that the best account of both of these works, as well as some others by Thomson, will be found in this well compiled record, where facsimiles of the title pages may be seen.

The lower 55 half of page 80 is taken up with an advertisement of B. Eliot, advertising "Meat out of the Eater/' This is the earliest copy of an American edition now known to be extant. The Lenox Library, New York, possesses a copy bound tip with the 1689 edition of Meat out ofthe Eater. At this late day it is impossible to give the exact dates of publica tion of the earlier editions of this popular poem. The following list is therefore annexed with some doubts as to its correctness. I am indebted to Mr. Robert F. Roden for the majority of the dates which I give to the earliest editions of this book. The first edition was issued, as nearly as can be ascertained, in Cambridge, Mass., and printed by Samuel Green and Marmaduke Johnson in 1662. The second was issued in the same place, and by the same printers, in 1666. An edition was printed in London, in the same year, probably a reprint of the first American edition. The third edition was issued from the 'press of Green and Johnson, Cambridge, 167?, while a fourth was printed by S. Green in the above town in 1693. The London edition of 1673 is probably a reprint of the first American. The fifth edition is the earliest American edition known to be ex tant (for full title and collation see above). Editions were also issued at Newcastle upon Tyne : John White, 1711. 12mo. pp. 72. Boston: John Allen, 1715. 12mo. pp.12, 82. And at Boston: by Thomas Fleet, 1751. 18mo. pp. [2], 5-104.

The poems themselves 57 are of vast interest and value, giving full accounts of tne obtaining of the charter.
