Slightly imperfect.
The first book printed in English in North America. The
version of the Psalms was made about the year 1636, the
principal divines of the country each translating a portion.
The principal part of the work was committed to Mr. Richard
Mather, minister of the church in Dorchester, who probably
wrote the preface also, and to Mr. Thomas Weld and Mr. John
Eliot, associate ministers of the church in Roxbury. The
work of printing was completed in 1640, and the new Psalm
book was adopted at once by nearly every congregation in the
colony of Massachusetts Bay, and for that reason it came to
be known as the Bay Psalm book. Of this famous book there
are only ten copies known to be extant, of which only four
are perfect.

reprint with the introduction by Wilberforce Eames.

"The first number of 'The Echo' appeared in 'The
American Mercury,' at Hartford, in August, 1791. It was
written at Middletown, by Richard Alsop and Theodore Dwight.
The authors, at the time of writing it, had no expectation
of its being published. Their sole object was to amuse
themselves and a few of their personal friends. The general
account of its origin and design is given in the preface to
the volume, in which the numbers were afterward collected
and published in New York. With the exception of a few lines
written by Drs. Mason F. Cogswell and Elihu H. Smith, and a
part of one or two numbers by Dr. Lemuel Hopkins, the entire
work was the production of Messrs. Alsop and Dwight. Judge
Trumbull never wrote a line in it."--C. W. Everest, _Poets

Extracts from the first and second cantos of this poem
are reprinted in _The Echo_, New York, 1807, p. 195-207,
with the following notice prefixed:
"The following extracts are from a poem entitled
_Democracy_, the first canto of which was printed in
New-York, in March, 1794, and at the time excited no
inconsiderable share of the public attention. This poem
was written in consequence of a tumultuous meeting of
the citizens of that place, instigated by a few popular
demagogues, for the purpose of prescribing to Congress the
adoption of hostile measures against Great Britain. The
second canto, which was of much greater length, was prepared
for the press immediately after the appearance of the first,
but the timidity of the booksellers, and the peculiar
circumstances of the times prevented its publication."

"A free parody of the _Lay of the last minstrel_....
The production is principally devoted to satirizing the
predatory warfare of the British on Chesapeake Bay, and,
what is somewhat remarkable, was published in a very
handsome style in London with a preface highly complimentary
to the author. The hero is Admiral Cockburn, and the
principal incident the burning and sacking of the little
town of Havre de Grace on the coast of Maryland. It had at
that time what might be called the distinction of provoking
a fierce review from the London Quarterly. It is clever as
a parody, and contains many passages entirely original and

One of "Fifty copies reprinted from the edition of 1728."
"The only known copy of this poem in America, so far
as the writer has been able to ascertain, is in the Boston
Public Library, where it was acquired a few years ago. The
British Museum has also a copy. The author is unknown. It
is quite inferior to the verses of Mather Byles on the same
occasion, and its publication lacks the Governor's sanction,
which was given to the former. Both poems are printed in
similar type, and probably were from the same press. The
rarity of this publication has induced the present reprint,
which is approximately in fac-simile of the original.
