DENNIE, JOSEPH
The Lay Preacher; or Short Sermons for Idle Readers.
Walpole, New Hampshire: David Carlisle, Jun., 1796. First edition. BAL 4633; Evans 30335. 12mo, contemporary quarter sheep, tan boards, red leather label, gilt rules and lettering. ¶ Dennie’s scarce first book, a collection of well-crafted Addisonian essays reprinted from the Walpole, New Hampshire newspaper Farmer’s Weekly Museum, primarily on political and social subjects, with some critical commentary on the purity of the English language. Dennie (1768-1812), a staunch Federalist, founded the important literary and political journal the Port Folio. His essays, like Freneau’s, scratch the surface of literary criticism and as such represent the beginnings of that genre in America. Freneau and Dennie are generally regarded as being among the fathers of American belles-lettres. ¶ Bookplate of the New Hampshire Historical Society on the front paste-down. Some slight foxing; binding a little rubbed; an unusually fine copy for an American book of this period.
