Nissenbaum, Stephen W. CHRISTMAS IN EARLY NEW ENGLAND 1620-1820: PURITANISM, POPULAR CULTURE, AND THE PRINTED WORD.
Worcester American Antiquarian Society 1997 8vo. stiff paper wrappers pp. 79-164.
Reprinted from the Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, Volume 106, Part I. Nissenbaum's essay traces how Puritans tried to keep Christmas out of New England and how the holiday still managed to return. Christmas entered first into the margins of New England culture, and then, by the latter half of the eighteenth-century, into its very mainstream. The struggle over this holiday was waged with the weapon of the printing press, and most especially in the region's almanacs, its hymnals, and its children's literature. These may have been the three most widely-read genres of all in New England - the very places where official and unofficial culture were mostly intertwined. The reappearance of older popular traditions of wassailing and begging in printed form suggests both a continuity with older rituals and a transformation of those rituals by respectable, even "official" culture.

Shields, David S., Caroline Sloat, et al. LIBERTY! ÉGALITÉ! INDEPENDENCIA! : PRINT CULTURE, ENLIGHTENMENT AND REVOLUTION IN THE AMERICAS, 1776-1838.
Papers from a Conference at the American Antiquarian Society in June 2006 and the James Russell Wiggins Lecture 'We declare you independent whether you wish it or not': The Print Culture of Early Filibusterism. Worcester, MA American Antiquarian Society 2007 6 x 9.25 inches paperback 216 pages
This new book begins with the 2006 James Russell Wiggins Lecture, an annual activity of the American Antiquarian Society through its Program in the History of the Book in American Culture. The lectureship honors the memory of James Russell Wiggins, the president of the American Antiquarian Society from 1970 to 1977. This year, the lecture was given by David Shields on the topic "'We declare you independent whether you wish it or not': The Print Culture of Early Filibusterism."
The conference papers explore the circulation, translation, revision, cross-cultural interpretation and influence of key texts inciting revolt against colonial domination and establishing independent states in the western hemisphere during the first age of Revolution. Matters treated include the effect of European Enlightenment books and pamphlets on independence movements throughout the Americas; the representation of Revolutions in North America, France, Haiti, Central and South America in the press; the publication of public documents, charters and political declarations and their international influence; print and the reaction against the Revolution; and the literature of Revolution and the creation of the "vox populi" in new American nation states.
Distributed for the American Antiquarian Society.

Walgren, Kent Logan FREEMASONRY, ANTI-MASONRY AND ILLUMINISM IN THE UNITED STATES, 1734-1850, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
2 volumes Worcester, MA American Antiquarian Society 2003 small 4to. cloth cxvi, (ii), 497+(1); vi, (ii), 499-1136 pages
A comprehensive successor to earlier bibliographies of Masonic books printed in the United States, such as Richard Barthelmess's Bibliographie der Freimaurerei in Amerika (1856) and Enoch T. Carson's Bibliotheca Masonica Carsoniana (1874). Volume 1 contains Introductory Essays and Entries from 1734 to 1827; Volume 2, entries from 1827-1850 and Indexes. The author has compiled 5,560 annotated entries, personally examining 95 percent of those for which surviving copies are known. Arranged in a chronological/geographical format, listing U.S. Masonic publications by date and state; and attempting to reclaim lost bibliographical and historical lore known to the Masons of earlier generations; by means of textual quotations, a sense and flavor of the social, political, and religious issues that preoccupied U.S. Freemasons and their detractors in the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the mythical early history of Masonry, women and Masonry, African-American Freemasonry, religion and Freemasonry, and politics and Freemasonry; and raw data on printing of Masonic literature and its economics in the early United States. "The chronological/geographical arrangement, which allows one to track the genesis and growth of the Craft in each state through the year 1850, provides a sense of time (cause-and-effect), context, and history." (introduction). Illustrated throughout with 70 title-page facsimiles, from "The Constitutions of the Free-Masons" (Phila., Benjamin Franklin, 1734), to the "Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the State of California, and Minutes of the Proceedings of the Convention to Constitute Said Lodge" (San Francisco, Bartlett & Robb, 1850). A valuable reference for scholars of U.S. Freemasonry, historians of U.S. social, political, and religious thought, librarians, and students of early U.S. printing.
