About This Item
Boston: published by Thomas & Andrews, West & Blake, Eben. Larkin, & John West & Co., Manning & Loring Printers, 1810. Sq. 24mo, pp. xii, [13]-491; contemporary full sheep, label partially chipped, the whole rubbed and worn, but sound. The work is taken from the fourth English edition (1786), and was reprinted in America as late as 1813. It was in this form that the rights to Perry's Dictionary were acquired by Charles and George Merriam, who published it as their first book in Brookfield, Massachusetts in 1801, and their successful venture with Perry paved the way for them to acquire the rights to Noah Webster's American Dictionary in 1844. Shaw & Shoemaker 21048 & 26435 do not provide detailed enough information on the imprints to make a positive identification.
