[With:] –. The Farmer's Friend, or the History of Charles Worthy. Boston: Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer Andrews, 1793. Evans 25609. 12mo (172 x 103mm). Contemporary sheep, morocco label on spine (boards detaching, losses at foot and head of spine panel). Provenance: Thomas Johnson (inscription located Leominster).

First editions of two early epistolary novels by minister Enos Hitchcock, both printed by Isaiah Thomas. Hitchcock, a stern Federalist who served as a chaplain in the Revolutionary War, conceived of his novels as antidotes to the melodramas of Goethe and Brown; he objected in particular to the use of suicide as a plot point. His scrappy rural heroes and heroines are all ultimately rewarded for their virtue and grit. The Farmer’s Friend has not been recorded at auction by RBH since the Hogan copy in 1945.
