No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original publisher's beige paper pamphlet. Text printed in black ink. Several pages unopened. Pamphlet composed of separate signatures but is complete. No date, circa 1844. 6 1/4" x 9 1/2." Fifty-eight pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning, slight wear to e…xtremities, and occasional spots of foxing or discoloration. A Very Good copy. This is a pamphlet published by Peter Force that reprints a satirical work of fiction, The Simple Cobler of Aggawam in America, by Nathaniel Ward (1578-1652), an English Puritan clergyman. Ward wrote this work under his pseudonym, Theodore de la Guard. In this work, Ward promotes his belief that a theocratic form of government is better than one based on democracy. The original document this pamphlet reprints was originally published in 1713 with the first edition being published in 1647. Peter Force (1790-1868) was an American printer, publisher, editor, and historian. Force is perhaps best-known for his comprehensive collection of early American historical documents and for publishing them. This pamphlet is an example of one of Force's publications that became a part of a his four-volume publication of reprinted historical documents titled, Tracts and Other Papers, Relating to the Origin, Settlement, and Progress of the Colonies in North America, that was published between 1836 and 1846.

Wraps. Condition: Good. 80 pp. string bound in old, possibly contemporary plain wrappers. Restoration circa 1800 (see below) to the upper right corner of the title page affecting some of the title lettering. Laid in is a mss slip from J. Murray (presumably John Murray, the London bookseller and publisher) addressed to one "C. Go…re, Esq." which reads, "The only copy of the Cobler I can find in London. I have used the freedom to sow (?) and mend his frontispiece. Collated and complete/ J. Murray/ 12th March 1801". The verso of the slip reads "Mr. Murray/V&H/ 1800/ sale account". In addition to the restoration to the title page there is loss to the top corners of the first two leaves affecting only the imprinted title across the top. Nathaniel Ward (1578-1652) was an English clergyman and social wit who came to America in 1634, settling at Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1641 he authored the Massachhusetts "Body of Liberties", the first code of laws in New England and a cornerstone title of Americana. He wrote "The Simple Cobler" in 1645-46 and sent it to England for publication. It was first published in London in January, 1647 and went to three additional printings the same year (none after). It was not published in America until 1718 in Boston and not again until 1843. It is considered the first humor/satire book of wit written in America; it contains caustic comments on women's fashions, gentlemen's fopperies, and social pretensions as well as warnings to religious dissenters. It was, however, a plea for reason in English government, both on the part of the King and his subjects. Importantly, Ward offered a new theory of constitutional government which reflected in large part his experiences in New England.
