[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"The Dawn of Liberty"

By William Dana Orcutt, et al.  Published in Boston by the Americana
Society: 1918. Edition limited to 250 numbered copies.

William Dana Orcutt contributes a stirring if slightly over-awed
introduction to this collection of Prime Americana- the texts of the
Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, George Washington’s
First and Second Inaugural Addresses, and Washington’s Farewell Address.

Hardcover. 6.5”x9.5”, xii + 74 pages, plus 4 black & white tipped-in
plates with tissue guards. Original grey and white cloth, covers
moderately worn and soiled. Paper a bit brittle, and split from the gutter
for the top inch or so of the first three pages. Handled with care, the
pages will not secede from the binding for many years to come.
Presentation inscription from its publisher, Boston bookseller and onetime
owner of the Harcourt Bindery, Thomas W. Best, to historian and author
Joseph D. Sawyer.  $250.00
