Description

(NEW YORK.) Asa Lee Davison. Pair of Independence Day orations not recorded in any library. Each 8vo, foxed with moderate wear; uncut. Various places, 1816 and 1823 Asa Lee Davison (1792-1853) was a physician in Cuba, NY (Allegany County); he later became a pioneer settler of Groveland, IL, edited a newspaper in Canton, IL, and corresponded with Abraham Lincoln. Neither of these pamphlets--or any other works by Davison--are listed in OCLC.

Auburn, NY: Skinner & Crosby, 1816. Shaw & Shoemaker 47794 (listing it with an 1819 publication date, probably in error, and tracing just a single copy at the Cayuga County Historical Society).
"Extracts of an Oration, Delivered at Friendship, Allegany Co. N.Y., July 4, 1823." 8 pages, bound with a straight pin; moderate dampstaining. Bath, NY: Smeads, 1823. Not in Shaw & Shoemaker.
