The author of this work, Noah Worcester (1758-1837), was a "Unitarian clergyman and a seminal figure in history of American pacifism. Although active in Unitarian theological controversies of the day, Worcester is best remembered as a pioneer in the American peace movement. In December 1814, he published A Solemn Review of the Custom of War (under the pen-name Philo Pacificus), still considered one of the best pieces of anti-war literature ever committed to print, and as relevant today as then." (From Wikipedia) This book contains the first seven issues of "The Friend of Peace" intended to direct the public to a more attentive consideration of the subject of war. It is prefixed with an analytic work on the custom of war, its causes and consequences, and the possible remedy. Ex-library copy with bookplate on inside of front cover, reference sticker at rear, stamp at lower margin of the Index's first page, and at upper margin of the title page for "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War."
