David Marks' Copy of Edwards' Life in a Rare Edition

 

DWIGHT, S.E. The Life of President Edwards. New-York: S. Converse, 1829. 1st ed. 8vo. 766 pp. Portrait. Full contemp. calf, label. Hinge cracked (sound). Foxed. Some early leaves becoming loose. $450.00

 

Sabin 21526, for an 1830 edition by another publisher, also located by Imprints and NUC; none record this 1829 edition. Our edition uses the sheets of the Carvill edition of the Works of Edwards of 1830 (and the copyright is 1830).

With the ink signature of David Marks, an evangelizing free-will Baptist, who in 1831, at the age of 26, published an account of his life (republished 1846).  An intriguing association copy.
