No. 194 in Britton, Lowens, and Crawford, American Sacred Music Imprints 1698-1810: A Bibliography. "98 compositions, incl. 7 anthems & 11 set-pieces, for 4 voices, a few for 3; full text.80 American compositions, 12 non-American, 6 unidentified." The music is in round notes.Jacob French (1754-1817), b. Stoughton, MA; d. Simsbury, CT. French was a composer and singing-master; the title page designates him "Musico Theorico." During the American Revolution he served several terms between the years 1775 and 1781. Details of his musical career are scarce, with documentation existing showing that he was at times a "Teacher of Musick" at Medway and at Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and also at Providence. French published The New American Melody (1789) and The Psalmodist's Companion (1793), in addition to the Harmony of Harmony offered here.

Late 18th-century manuscript copy of a French children's catechism by the Swiss theologian Jacob Vernet (1698-1789), bound in a remarkable late 18th-century binding, originally produced for the Amsterdam Chamber of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) by the so-called Acorn-and-Foliage Tool Bindery which was active between ca. 1760 and ca. 1784 (Storm van Leeuwen).It shows the large monogram of the Amsterdam Chamber of the VOC sandwiched between the date "Anno 1780" on both boards. These bindings were usually commissioned as gifts to persons important to the VOC, often containing an almanac for the relevant year but possibly also produced as blank notebooks. The present work comprises chapters 39-49 and 58-75 of Vernet's work, which form almost the second half of printed editions. The chapters included in the present work are complete and exactly follow the order of the printed text in the Geneva 1742 edition (pp. 75-140, checked using a digital copy) with a slightly different spelling and replacing some words. For unclear reasons, chapters 50-57 (dealing with the fourth through tenth commandment) have not been copied and several leaves between the end of chapter 49 and the beginning of chapter 58 have been left blank.Vernet's religious text was first published in 1741 under the title Instruction chrétienne, ou catechisme familier; avec quelques prières a l'usage des petits enfans . In 1742, a revised edition appeared with a slightly different title Instruction crhetienne [!] ou catechisme familier. Avec quelques passages de l'Ecriture Sainte & quelques prières à l'usage des petits enfans. Nouvelle edition. Revuë, corrigée & augmentée. Both works were printed in Geneva for the Swiss bookseller Emanuel Du Villard (Emmanuel Duvillard, 1693-1776) and subsequently reprinted several more times until 1769. With the book block showing the remnants of 12 removed leaves, probably already removed before the manuscript was finished. Both pastedowns partly detached, an old annotation ("Ao. 44305") in black ink on the lower pastedown, some foxing. Otherwise in good condition.l For the binding: Landwehr/Van der Krogt, VOC, pp. XXVII-XXVIII; Storm van Leeuwen I, p. 175, p. 196 (VOC A-stamp) and pp. 612-616 (the bindery); for Vernet's work: Google Books digital copy of the 1742 ed. (title: Instruction crhetienne [ ! ou Catechisme familier; physical copy at the Biblioteca Universitaria di Torino); WorldCat 951908419 (1 copy, 1767 ed.); WorldCat 1040828976 (1 copy, 1769 ed. (no author noted)); for the watermark: Heawood 3149. Late 18th-century gold-tooled brown mottled calf, sewn on 5 supports, bound by the so-called Acorn-and-Foliage Tool Bindery in Amsterdam (Storm van Leeuwen). Both boards show the large gold-tooled monogram of the Amsterdam chamber of the VOC as a centre piece sandwiched between the gold-tooled date "Anno 1780", all within a gold-tooled floral frame with floral corner pieces in the inside corners, spine gold-tooled in six compartments, red sprinkled edges. Manuscript in French, written in black ink on paper, in a neat cursive script by one hand. With chapter divisions (numbered 39-75) and headings. The text is written upside down in relation to the binding. Most leaves show an identical watermark, depicting a lion rampant on a pedestal with "Vryheyt" in a crowned ring with "Pro Patria Eiusque Libertate" and the letters "CR" below, which is very close to Heawood 3149 (date: 1753). Pages: [28] ll.

4to (209 x 268 mm), 1 p. With autograph envelope. To the German autograph collector Ernst Fritz Katz in Frankfurt a. M., who had asked for a sample of his handwriting, suggesting in a friendly tone that, if Jacob is well-known in Germany, now Katz is also famous in France: "Si je suis connu à Frankfurt, vous l'êtes à Quimper de Bretagne où j'ai reçu pendant mes vacances votre lettre". Jacob speculates on the age and occupation of his addressee, and closes with a playful "En tous cas vous êtes mon ami ou je suis le vôtre". - Very slight damage to creases, with no loss of text. Margins of envelope slightly creased.
