About this Item

8vo. 21, [1], [2p. list of officers]pp. Disbound, toned with scattered foxing. Still very good. A powerful anti-war sermon by Rev. Frothingham preached before a congregation of military personnel armed and in uniform. This was to celebrate the 187th anniversary of the formation of the Artillery Company. He calls war, the curse of the earth and a game of sovereigns. Yet, he acknowledges the strong bond between religion and the sword. He calls religion an equalizing principle that can emancipate the African slaves? souls from the deepest ignorance as dark as their skin and as abject as their forced fate in America. Includes a short eulogy for General John Brooks (1752-1825), 11th Governor of Massachusetts and two pages at end listing the names of elected officers in 1824. Sabin 26069.
