Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Second edition, revised. One of the earliest histories of Ohio, written by Caleb Atwater (1778 - 1867), who was a representative to the Ohio House & abolitionist; he strongly defended publicly funded education, which should be funded through the sale of state property rather than through taxes. In the dedication, Atwater decries encroachments on freedom of the press: "If this Republic must be destroyed, it will be effected by destroying the liberty of speech and of the press, on some particular subject, at first . My young friends! we live in an eventful period . watch the men in power at Washington city . and resist every encroachment on your rights ." In the Appendix, Atwater comments on slavery in the district of Columbia: ". what a strange contrast the proceedings of 1787 present to those of 1837! Then the abolition of slavery in an extensive territory, bordering on the slave holding states, met with no opposition. No fears were then entertained that such an act would endanger the Union . No; slavery then was considered by all as an evil; now it is pronounced by some a blessing. What a strange perversion!" (p376). Includes the constitution of the state of Ohio in the appendix. 8vo, 407pp, Appendices. Full brown leather, gilt title at black backstrip label. Covers and base of spine a bit rubbed. Internally, scattered foxing to early pages, otherwise bright and clean. OCLC: 476445891. Howes A-377.

Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First Edition. vii, 296 p. 17 cm. Bound in half green leather with marbled paper and marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Slight wear to spine ends and corners. Bookplate on front pastedown. Pages darkened and slightly foxed. Caleb Atwater (1778 1867) was an American politician, historian, and early archaeologist in the state of Ohio. He served several terms in the state house and was appointed as United States postmaster in Circleville, Ohio. In the 19th century he was best known for his History of the State of Ohio (1838), the first book-length history of the young state. This earlier volume describes Atwater's trip to Wisconsin in which he met with Native Americans and recorded the grammar of the Sioux language (pp. 149-172). Much of the book concerns itself with the manners and customs of the Native Americans he encountered on his journey: Winnebago, Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Odawa. In 1829, however, he journeys to Washington, and the last 30 pages or so are concerned with descriptions of the senate and impressions of such men as President Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and others.

Erstausgabe
hardcover. First. [3], vi-vii, [blank], [1], 1, 296pp. (untrimmed pages are uniformly toned). 12mo, rebound in full beige morocco; burgundy leather spine label, lettered in gilt. Columbus, O: Isaac N. Whitting, 1831. First edition. "Nothing indicating the mission of Atwater appears on the title, yet the real object of the tour was to procure as Commissioner of the government, a cession of the title of the Winnebago, Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa Indians in the rich mineral lands, now forming the State of Wisconsin and part of Illinois. Much the greater part of the work is devoted therefore to a narration of the peculiarities of those tribes which he visited, biography of some of their cheifs, Indian poetry, specimens of their language, and incidents of his associations with them". -Field 54. Atwater was "a social and intellectual pioneer of the Middle West, and perhaps the first advocate of forest conservation; he was one of the first to predict the success of the railway, the first historian of his state [Ohio] and the founder of its school system". -DAB; ; Howes A379; Sabin 2335.
