[36]pp. plus thirty-seven engraved plates (two folding). Small quarto. Contemporary sheep, gilt morocco label. Spine ends worn, corners bumped and worn, boards rubbed. Contemporary ownership signature on front free endpaper (see below). Moderate tanning and foxing, as usual. Some offsetting from plates, tide marks to the top of plates 18 to 21; plate 25 with a small tear in lower edge. Very good overall. In linen clamshell box, gilt leather label. Second edition, after the exceedingly rare and virtually unprocurable Greenfield first edition printed the previous year, of the first original American book of architecture. Earlier architectural works printed in the United States were simply compilations or reprintings of British material (e.g. John Norman's TOWN AND COUNTRY BUILDER'S ASSISTANT of 1786). A classic and important American architectural treatise by the man who was most responsible for disseminating Roman and Greek stylistic details found in New England architecture of the period. The book is beautifully illustrated with engravings of colonial buildings, elevations of churches and homes, ornaments, cornices, etc. that all reflect the influences of the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders. "[T]here is scarcely a village which in moulding profiles, cornice details, church spire, or farm-house does not reflect his influence" - DAB. Benjamin was a prolific architectural writer who published THE AMERICAN BUILDER'S COMPANION (1806), THE RUDIMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE (1814), and the very popular PRACTICAL HOUSE CARPENTER (1830). "The career of our first American architectural writer, Asher Benjamin (1773- 1845), covered several decades of the early nineteenth century. Both the books he wrote and the buildings he designed had an influence on building in New England that is still visible. He probably will be best remembered for his popularization of the federal style through his early books (and the Greek revival in his later ones)" - Thompson. This copy bears the contemporary ownership inscription of Ebenezer Tilton, of Epping, New Hampshire, dated May 1805. The first obtainable edition of the earliest architectural book written by a native-born American and printed in the United States, in much better condition than normally found. DAB II, pp.179-80.

Small 4to. (7 11/16 x 5 1/2 inches). [32]pp. Thirty engraved plates (two folding). Somewhat toned. Plate 21 strengthened with old paper backing on verso. Contemporary calf, flat spine ruled in gilt. Old repair to spine. In modern red morocco backed slipcase and folding chemise. The first edition of the earliest book of architecture written by an American and printed in the United States: a legendary rarity, a landmark work, and a cornerstone of any collection on American arts. "There is scarcely a village which in moulding profiles, cornice details, church spire, or farm-house does not reflect his influence" (DAB). Earlier architectural works printed in the United States were simply compilations or reprintings of British material (e.g. John Norman's Town and Country Builder's Assistant of 1786). Benjamin's work is a classic and important American architectural treatise, by the man who was most responsible for disseminating late colonial details throughout New England, beautifully illustrated with engravings of colonial buildings, elevations of churches and homes, ornaments, cornices, etc., reflecting the influences of the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders. "The career of the first American architectural writer, Asher Benjamin (1773-1845), covered several decades of the early nineteenth century. Both the books he wrote and the buildings he designed had an influence on building in New England that is still visible. He probably will be best remembered for his popularization of the federal style through his early books (and the Greek revival in his later ones)" (Thompson). As with the present copy, most copies of Benjamin's book were heavily used, accounting for its present rarity. Although the title states that each plate would be accompanied by textual descriptions, no descriptions were issued for plates 25-27. As a testament to its importance in the development of American architecture, the text appears in several relevant exhibition catalogues. These include: "The Sources of Classicism," Univ. of Texas, 1978 (later edition); "Printed Books on Architecture," Univ. of Illinois, 1960 (later edition); "The Builder's Guide," Colby College, 1969 (later edition), "The Colonial Scene," John Carter Brown Library, 1950; "A Society's Chief Joys," American Antiquarian Society, 1969; and "Wellsprings of a Nation," American Antiquarian Society, 1977.
