Full-Leather. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Second Edition. Porter, an early 19th Century Congregational minister and seminary teacher, wrote several works on rhetoric and speech, on what he called the "art of reading." This book, "The Rhetorical Reader," was intended for use in academies and high schools and was issued in over 200 editions throughout the U.S. during the 1800s, becoming a seminal document in the study of speech pathology. This 1849 copy is from the first or second printing of the second edition, revised by James N. MacElligot. About 4 3/4 x 7 inches, 312 pages, including an appendix and 133 reading exercises, in full brown leather-covered boards with gold lettering on paper label on spine. Leather is considerably scuffed and worn, especially at corners. Leather on spine is chipped with quarter-inch pieces missing from spine ends. Both exterior and interior hinges are cracked but continuing to hold quite firmly. Text edges soiled. Text is clean and complete, though end pages and text proper lightly foxed. A faint signature is just visible on fep with a one-line notation on rear end page. All that said, book is basically clean and fully legible and remains a decent example of an early document in speech pathology's history.

Hardcover. Hardcover. There is no date listed, but the copyright date is (1835). The book is encased in a vintage sewn-on leather cover. It is fairly heavy leather and is an interesting item. We have not removed the cover to inspect the book, as it is too unique to alter. But from the tips of the book spine that are visible, it appear the cover was put on when the book was new (or almost new). And we suspect the the binding is likely in very nice condition. There is an ink stamp of the bookseller I. A. Hopkins of Milwaukee (apparently in business in the 1840's and 1850's).The front flyleaf is partially detached. The last gathering extends from the binding a bit and has some edgewear. The rear flyleaf, and some tears and loss at the edges. Some pencil notes on the front pastedown and rear flyleaf. Foxing to the page edges and first & last few pages; a bit scattered throughout. The sewn-on cover has some rubbing/wear, and some staining. On the rear of the cover there is an inked name and "LaGrange Wis". LaGrange is a township and small community in Southeastern Wisconsin.; 28A; 6-3/4" x 4-1/4"; 304 pages.
