About this Item

First edition, small 8vo, pp. 43, [1]; removed from binding; half-title loose, but present; slight toning, title page trimmed close at the top just touching the incipient 'A'; all else very good. Dana (1735-1812) was early on involved in a controversy between the Old and New Light factions of the Congregational Church, but prejudices against him waned when he took up the cause of American Independence; his sermons were ostensibly responsible for winning many to his support.
