Newport: for Asaph Chilson, and sold by him, wholesale and retail, 1804. 12mo, pp. 88; contemporary full calf, gilt-paneled spine laid out in 6 compartments, red morocco label in 1, ownership stamp in gilt on upper cover of "J. P. Luther," and with 4 pages of manuscript notes on the front free endpaper and flyleaf; the binding is rather rubbed, but is totally sound. The long inscription starts on the recto of the front free endpaper: "Joseph P. Luther's Book. Providence AD 1820." The first page deals with whether to grant the request of a friend and when it is proper to give a reason for granting or not granting a request. From this, Luther goes on to propose seeking a true friend in God. "It will be wise to devote a few moments to reflect upon the most Important of all Subjects which can possibly occupy our attention - the purpose of our existence, and the end of our voyage - this way we consider and apply our Hearts unto Wisdom - So when our voyage on Earth shall end And we meet Deaths Embrace may we find in Christ a friend in Heaven a resting place." The last page of the flyleaf is inscribed "This little Book I present to you my Daughter keep it preserve it and may it do your Soul good." Another inscription on the back flyleaf: "A present to Mrs Harriet B. Basset From Her Father JP Luther New Bedford November 28th 1844." Joseph Parsons Luther was born March 9, 1783 in Swansea, Bristol County, Massachusetts, of Caleb Luther and Levinia Clarinda Seamans. He married Elizabeth Hoar Luther (1787-1819) and later Harriet B. Westcott Luther (1792-1878). He died November 16, 1850 in New Bedford and is buried in Swan Point Cemetery in Providence. In 1850, he was listed as a hair dresser.
