Description

Philadelphia: Ashmead,& Co., 1834. 8vo.  185 x 110 mm., [7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches].  xx, pp-13 - 300 (collation complete).  Publisher's remainder binding in blue pebble cloth, leather labels on spine.  Labels scuffed; paper bookplate of "Inness" on front pastedown; some light foxing.  Ownership marks of James A. Inness of Carlisle, Pa. and "Vinton Donation/ Nov. 1865" in pencil on front free endpaper. First American edition, originally published London, 1823.  Influential essay on War by a leading English Quakers who did much to "promote that earnest advocacy of Peace between Nations."  Dymond's essay contains a distinctive tone, one that reflected not only the Christian point of view but relied heavily on his views of the nature of mankind from a philosophical dimension.  It was a preview to the behavior analysis of men at war.  Thomas Grimké's essay places Dymond's thought in an American context.  His discussion of the education of the public against the cruelty of war was to reverberate throughout the Country for thirty years, right through the Civil War years.  Sabin Dictionary of Books Relating to America, 21606.  London Quarterly Review, Vol 46, (1831).  Allibone, Critical Dictionary of English and American Literature, Vol I, p. 537. .

De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J.

In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
