About this Item

[4], 39, [3 blanks] pp [as issued]. Attractive type ornamentation. Stitched, light scattered foxing and light dusting. Very Good. An early American imprint expressing the colonial hatred of tyranny and distrust of man's exercise of power. "As Christ is the Lord of all.he has given to none of the Princes of the Earth; no, not to the greatest of them, a Power to act their own Will, in an arbitrary and despotic Manner; or to make their own Will their only Rule, in the exercise of that Power committed to them." Webb warns against "the cruel Oppression and Injustice that has, for a long time, been reigning among us, on the account of the uncertain and fluctuating State of our Medium of Trade: for Righteousness between Man and Man, is certainly an essential Branch of the Religion of our blessed Saviour." FIRST EDITION. Evans 4321. ESTC W20400. Seller Inventory # 38324
