Williamsburg, Virginia: Printed by W. Rind, A. Purdie, and J. Dixon, 1769. (4), 577, (1) pages. First (and only) printing of this important colonial Williamsburg imprint. Late in 1767 the General Assembly authorized a third "revisal" of Virginia laws, which meant a compilation of all acts passed since the 1752 "revisal," together with all laws passed prior to 1752 that were still in effect. Ordinarily the contract for printing the book would have been awarded to the official public printer, William Rind, but Rind's financial straits caused the General Assembly to award the contract to Rind's financially stable competitors, the Williamsburg printing company of Alexander Purdie and John Dixon . Perhaps to spare Rind public embarrassment, it was decided to advertise the project as a joint venture; thus, the names of Rind, Purdie, and Dixon are listed as printers on the title page. ASSOCIATION COPY: On the title page is the 1784 signature of Alexander Breckinridge… Read More

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Cowperthwait, Desilver, & Butler, 1855. xvi, 338 pages. A rare book written by the first Superintendent of Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. This copy is from the library of Leonard A. Slater, a native of New Kent, Virginia and surgeon in the Confederate Army, and bears Slater's signature on both the front cover and the front free endpaper. Slater graduated from Lynchburg College in 1856, and the date October 24th 1855 as well as a Lynchburg, Va. inscription that accompany his signature suggest that he used this textbook as an undergraduate. A class schedule in ink on the rear free endpaper appears to be in Slater's handwriting. The solution to a problem written on 19th century lined blue paper tipped onto page 109 may or may not be in Slater's hand. At some point the book was professionally sympathetically rebacked with the original leather title patch retained. The book is clean and tight, with some edgewear and bumped and rubbed… Read More
