DENNIE, Joseph (1768-1812). The Lay Preacher; or Short Sermons for Idle Readers. Walpole, NH: David Carlisle, 1796. BAL 4633. 12mo (178 x 104mm). 132pp. 19th-century half sheep. Provenance: New Hampshire Antiquarian Society (bookplate recording gift of David Milliken, 1876).

–. The Spirit of the Farmers' Museum, and Lay Preacher's Gazette. Walpole, NH: D. & T. Carlisle for Thomas & Thomas, 1801. BAL 4636. 12mo (168 x 105mm). 318pp., 3pp. publisher's ads at end. Contemporary sheep (remains of morocco label on spine, worn at extremities). Provenance: David Austin (inscription dated New York, 5 November 1810) - Philip Kingsland (inscription dated Tuesday morning, 7 February, 1815).

Two first editions by the "Addison of America," both New Hampshire imprints. Dennie was a descendant of an important American printing family, the Greens, and became well known for his eloquent political essays—one of which, an attack on Jefferson, earned him a charge of seditious libel. Both works here are rare at auction, with The Spirit of the Farmers' Museum last recorded by RBH in 1894.
