Published by From the Lorenzo Press of E. Bronson, Philadelphia: ., 1806
Hardcover. pp. xxxii, (1)-271 + Two plates engraved by Samuel Seymour (active 1796-1823). Foxed. One plate loose and inserted. Early manuscript ownership of Thomas Rutherford on title page. First signature loose. 210 mm. Original full leather binding, worn; boards detached. Hardbound. Good. New Hampshire born Thomas Green Fessenden (1771-1837) went to London in 1801 as agent for a new hydraulic machine. The enterprise proved a failure and involved him in pecuniary difficulties. While in London, he became interested in the construction of a patent mill on the River Thames, and in this enterprise also he was completely ruined. At this time, he formed the acquaintance of Benjamin & Elisha Perkins (1741-1799), patentees of a metallic medical tractor. Fessenden advertised it in a Hudibrastic verse poem 'Terrible Tractoration' (anonymously published in 1803). The poem satirized the members of the medical profession who opposed the use of the instruments. Nathaniel Hawthorne characterized the poem as 'a work of strange, grotesque ideas, aptly expressed'. The poem was enlarged with notes and arguments, and republished in New York and Philadelphia in 1806. S&S/AI 10410. PAIMP 20 x2?.

Former copy of Middlebury College Library with their bookplate and stamps, owner bookplate and ink name on front endpapers (Ephraim H.

A pseudonymous collection of satirical poems. "Thomas Green Fessenden, 1771-1837, gained much notoriety as a humorous and satirical writer, under the name of Christopher Caustic. His two chief poems were Terrible Tractoration, and The Country Lovers." - A Manual of American Literature Hoolihan 1157: "Fessenden's satire was originally published at London in 1803 under the title: A poetical petition against tractorising trumpery. In the year 1801 the author. was in London. In that metropolis, he became acquainted with Mr. Benjamin Douglas Perkins [son of Elisha P., inventor of the tractors], proprietor of a patent right for making and using certain implements, called Metallic Tractors. These were said to cure diseases in all or nearly all cases of topical inflammation, by conducting from the diseased part the surplus of electric fluid which in such cases, causes or accompanies the morbid affection. At the request of that gentleman, the author undertook to make the Tractors the theme of a satirical effusion in Hudibrastic verse. This was originally intended for the corner of a newspaper, but subsequently in the first edition enlarged to a pamphlet of about fifty pages royal octavo. It was published in the summer of 1803, well received, and a second edition called for in less than two months. The author never would have written a syllable intended to give Metallic Tractors favorable notoriety, had he not believed in their efficacy. As conductors of what is called animal electricity, and in principles allied to Galvanic stimulants, even their modus operandi, he thought, might be in a great measure explained.
