Arranged chronologically by date of publication.
A Dictionary of the Holy Bible, by John Brown, minister of the Gospel at Haddington. Pittsburgh: From the Ecclesiastical and Literary Press of Zadok Cramer, 1807. —This is a remarkable achievement in printing for a bookseller way out West—the first volume runs to 664 pages. Cramer inflates the name of his press accordingly. The work is illustrated with some fine cuts (where did Cramer get them?). “The Maps and Plates, which are executed in the first style of elegance by our best American artists, and at a very considerable expense, we hope will be found a valuable acquisition to the work: These were never before published in the United States.” According to the preface, the Rev John Anderson, “a friend and pupil of the author’s” but now “of Service and King’s Creek” (the latter a settlement in Washington County where a Presbyterian church was founded in 1785), has made some additions to the work. Other additions were taken from the Encylcopaedia Britannica.
