Item description from seller

Octavo (23.5cm.); disbound; 32pp. Pamphlet stitching perished and signatures loose, extremities rather darkened, brittle, and chipped with one-inch closed tear to fore-edge margin of pp. [31]/2 slightly touching text without loss of meaning. A Good, complete and untrimmed copy. "Despite the fact that he was an unusually successful preacher.[Griswold] was expelled in 1797 by the Litchfield South Ministerial Association, ostensibly on doctrinal grounds, although it was generally believed that his political heresies were more responsible for the action" (DAB). Griswold later made a name in the West, as secretary of the Michigan Territory, U.S. Senator from Ohio, and judge in the Illinois Territory. ESTC W3572; EVANS 33828; SABIN 90761; TRUMBULL 784.
