First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair to good condition. Third edition, corrected and enlarged. Quarto. iv, 5-104pp. Original rebacked calf with gilt lettering on original red label with gilt ruling on spine. On practical geometry; the origin of building; the five orders of architecture; of their particular parts and embellishments, and of their application; also very fully on stairs; on plans and elevations of houses, & on sashes, sash frames, shutters, doors, cornices, base and surbase mouldings, architraves, etc. Printed by Thomas G. Bangs and illustrated with fifty-nine copperplate engravings by Daniel Raynerd. "Five years having elapsed since the first publication of the American Builder; during which time I have been constantly employed in drawing and executing plans for buildings. The experience of that time enables me to confirm some, and reject other former methods. Sixteen plates, which were in the first edition, I have laid aside, and have added twenty nine new ones; which almost make this a new work." (Benjamin in his preface) The first edition of the American Builder in 1806 was published under Benjamin's and the name of Daniel Raynerd who had provided the drawings included in that edition. A note in the 1811 second edition clarifies the extent of Raynerd's involvement, that is to have drawn the plates for the 1806 publication. Benjamin refers to the 1811 edition in our preface as the first edition though it was the first edition exclusively published under his name. The Builder's Companion contains an essay on "The origin of buildings," "Of the parts which compose the orders of architecture, and of their properties, applications, and embellishments" and "Of the order of architecture in general." Benjamin's influence on the architecture throughout New England is well documented, as Benjamin has inspired countless builders and was identified as the architect of important buildings in Massachusetts and Connecticut. The American Builder's Companion became Benjamin's most popular book and was published in six editions by 1827. Provenance: Originally sold to Morrison D. Wilcox for $7. Wilcox was a carpenter born in New York in 1799, and at the age of 14 fought against the British in the War of 1812. He must have acquired this book shortly after returning to civilian life. Migrating West to claim the bounty land awarded veterans of the war, he married in Gallatin, Illinois, and settled eventually in Union County, Kentucky, where he died in 1878. The original binding is crudely rebacked retaining the original red label on spine. Several small indentations and some scuffing on front cover. A few scuffs on front and back overpainted with matching varnish. Two descriptions from different bookseller catalogs glued to inside front cover. Previous owner's name penciled above offers, and initials, 1932 land price inked above offers. Gutters reinforced with linen tape, white at front and black at back. Endpapers and first few pages with water staining along foredge and folded. Both front endpapers, title page, preface and first plate with chips repaired with paper underlaid. A few bookworm holes on second front endpaper, this with inked name and "not yours." Wilcox's full name and price inked to title page twice. Preface with five inch closed tear repaired with underlying transparent tape. The copperplate illustrations are generally in poor condition, mottled and almost uniformly damp-stained. Plate eight is all but complete though its right and bottom margins have been torn away, with loss of half of the e and the r of the name H.W.Snyder; repaired with underlaid with paper. Plate twenty-one has been repaired with document tape on verso. Plate twenty-three was torn along the verso bottom edge but has been repaired, Plate fifty-nine with two worm holes in the left margin. The rear flyleaves also folded and cracked with evidence of insect infestation, but they have been flattened and repaired. Light offsetting of some plates to facing pages. Asher Benjamin (1773-1845) was born in Hartland, Litchfield County, Connecticut, but moved with his family to Greenfield, Massachusetts as a child. For thirty years he worked as a carpenter up and down the Connecticut River Valley, building and designing homes and churches. By 1795 he had become respected as a designer well enough to construct the circular staircase in Hartford's Old State House which boasted, as he claimed, New England's first circular handrail. In 1796 he hired a team of joiners to build what is now the Greenfield (Massachusetts) Public Library. Though not a proponent necessarily of Greek Revival, he was canny enough in his guidebooks to ride its wave of popularity. By 1839 printings of his "Practical House Carpenter "numbered 6,000: an enormous number for a work of its time, place, and application, and in the meantime he had authored "The Practice of Architecture" and "The Builder's Guide." The Boston Housewright Society proofread his books and pronounced them "better calculated to assist the American Builder than any that has come within our knowledge." In 1837 Benjamin helped to found the American Institute of Architects. He designed, among many other buildings in Boston, several homes on Beacon Hill as well as the Old West and Charles Street churches. His influence is evident in the innumerable buildings -homes, barns, churches, civic buildings- designed according to his specifications throughout the Eastern Seaboard.

Third edition. 4to. 59 engraved plates. iv, [5]-104 pp. Contemporary sheep, rebacked, original red morocco spine label; typical foxing and browning of plates, minor worming in blank top margin and bottom fore-margin The third edition of Asher Benjamin's second book, with provenance from a Martha's Vineyard builder. The American Builder s Companion "became the principal source for the Federal style for carpenters across the eastern half of the United States. Technically the plates were far superior to those in [Benjamin s first book] The Country Builder s Assistant, and the work was much broader in scope, including Roman versions of the five orders but also novel variants of capitals and bases. Plans and elevations included town houses, country houses, a courthouse, and a meetinghouse similar to Benjamin s Old West" (ANB). The 1816 edition is largely as revised and expanded for the second edition (1811), with some few additional revisions to the text and one plate; sixteen plates from the first edition were removed and 29 new plates added, and the quality of the remaining plates was improved. This copy with the 1820 ownership inscription of Jared Coffin (1790-1874) of Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard. In 1828 Coffin built the Timothy Coffin, Jr, House at 30 South Water Street in Edgartown. Coffin was married to Sarah Baylies, whose brother Frederick Baylies, Jr. (1797-1884), was responsible for much of Edgartown's civic architecture, including the Old Whaling Church, designed in 1842. The book evidently was passed down by descent in the Coffin family; a later inscription from 1934 presents the book from Arthur B. Coffin to George W. Coffin, "on acct of his interest and work in designing the little Cottage on the Hill at Green Harbor, Edgartown Mass."PROVENANCE: Jared Coffin, 1820 (ownership inscription on ffep); George W. Coffin (gift inscription from Arthur B. Coffin, Edgartown, MA [Martha's Vineyard], 7 Sept. 1934); William Reese (book-label)REFERENCE: Hitchcock 101 (wrongly calling for 61 plates).

First Edition
Full calf. Condition: Very Good. Daniel Raynerd (illustrator). The very important 1811 "corrected and enlarged" 2nd edition of this early, seminal guidebook in American architecture. Authored by Asher Benjamin (1773-1845), considered one of the country's first great writers on architecture. Contains more plates (59) than the 1st edition (44), which was published 5 years earlier in 1806. The 59 copperplate engravings have here been carefully collated (for completeness and condition) and, as with the 1st edition, were executed by Daniel Raynerd. We note that in his 2 pg. Preface to this 1811 2nd edition, Benjamin states "Sixteen plates, whch were in the first edition, I have laid aside, and have added twenty nine new ones; which almost make this a new work". This copy remains solid and well-preserved, and presents very well. Bound in the publisher's original --or at the very least a contemporary-to-the-period-- full mottled calf. Red leather title label in gilt (very likely later) at the spine. Light, forgivable foxing throughout the text, mild offsetting at the endsheets and pastedowns. Wonderful handwritten notes ("Diameter of Columns to the Height") adorn the frontispiece and the front pastedown, and clearly suggest the 19th century scribbles of a hard-at-work carpenter/architect. Quarto, 102 pgs. all told. A nice piece of architectural Americana.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. 4to. 44 plates. Original or contemporary calf. Worn, quite browned and stained as usual. A good, sound, unrestored copy. Half calf case. First edition of the second book by Asher Benjamin, America s first great writer on architecture. In the introduction, Benjamin notes that the style of building in this country differs very considerably from that of Great Britain and that architects who rely on European publications are wasting their money. He concludes, we feel confident that this publication will be found to contain more useful information for the American workman than all the European works which have appeared in this country. Through his books late colonial details and designs were broadcast throughout New England and there is scarcely a village which in moulding profiles, cornice details, church spire, or farm-house does not reflect his influence (DAB). The plates in this work inspired countless builders, and they have been used to identify Benjamin as the architect of a number of important buildings in Massachusetts and Connecticut. Benjamin s plates formed a collection harmonious and almost always in perfect taste (DAB). Benjamin s most popular book, The American Builder s Companion went into six editions by 1827. A note in the second edition (Charlestown, 1811) indicates that the extent of co-author Raynerd s contribution was to draw the plates. His name was omitted from the title page of the second and subsequent editions. Provenance: the early American owner s stamp Wm. Cook on upper board and title page.
