Title: Sermon Preached Before... House of Representatives of the State of the Massachusetts-Bay... May 28, 1777
Author: AMERICAN REVOLUTION WEBSTER Samuel
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1777. First Edition. (AMERICAN REVOLUTION) WEBSTER, Samuel, A.M. A Sermon Preached before the Honorable Council, and the Honorable House of Representatives, of the State of the Massachusetts-Bay, in New England. At Boston, May 28, 1777. Being the Anniversary for the Election of the Honorable Council. Boston: Edes & Gill, 1777. Octavo, modern full calf gilt, red morocco spine label, raised bands, uncut; pp. (1-5), 6-44. $4800.First edition of Webster's electrifying 1777 Sermon delivered barely ten months after America's Declaration of Independence, invoking God's wrath to put the British ""to flight speedily make them quake with fear and so return to their own lands let them have neither credit nor courage, to come out any more against us.""When Samuel Webster delivered this crucial 1777 election sermon before the Massachusetts-Bay Council and House of Representatives, ""independence had been proclaimed, not secured. The bloodletting had just begun."" That same year Thomas Paine, in an public letter to Admiral Howe, warned him: ""In all the wars which you have formerly been concerned in, you had only armies to contend with. In this case, you have both an army and a country to combat"" (Atkinson, British Are Coming, 561-64). Mindful of his audience and the peril of the moment, Webster, a minister in Salisbury, Massachusetts, aimed ""biting sarcasm"" at the British, and made ""solemn appeals to the representatives of the people to be true to their trust"" (Headley, Chaplains and Clergy, 3).""From colonial times it was the custom of certain of the New England states to open each year's session of the legislature with an annual election sermon"" (Vail, Checklist). Drawing extensively on biblical sources, these sermons focus on the ""nature, purpose and character of government"" and the ""character of a good ruler"" (Cline, New England Election Sermons, 5-10). Here Webster, a Harvard graduate with a 1749 AM, firmly proclaims: ""conquests made by force upon an inoffensive people gives no right the business of all in power is to defend the lives, liberties and property of the people and where there is any dispute, let nothing be done, till it is settled by the people, who are the fountain of power.""Webster directs his fiery eloquence at ""our furious brethren the Britons who have begun the most desperate attacks on us."" He calls on God to ""put them to flight speedily as the fire consumes the wood, and sometimes lays waste whole forests on the mountains, so let them be laid waste and consumed, if they obstinately persist in their bloody designs against us."" In his concluding words, Webster calls for ""a dreadful tempest to affright them make them quake with fear; and pursue them with thine arrows, till they are either destroyed, or brought to see that God is with us of a truth and fighteth for us, and so return to their own lands, covered with shame and confusion let them have neither credit nor courage, to come out any more against us"" (emphasis in original). First edition. With half title. Evans 15703. ESTC W3240. Vail, 21. Sabin 10423. Small numerical notation above half title.Text fresh with mere trace of scattered foxing.

Description: Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merrill Company / The Hollenbeck Press, 1898. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 0x0x0. 1899 reprint of first volume, 1898 first printing of second volume, 1908 first printing of third volume. Former library copies with usual marks, spines of volumes 1 and 2 toned, boards of each volume soiled, boards of volume 3 foxed, front hinges of two volumes weakening. Complete three volume set. xxiv, 513, [1]; xi, [2], 515-1070; xvii, [1], 1111-1633, [1] pp. 8vo. A biography of the important advocate for women's suffrage, with transcripts of speeches and correspondence. Illustrated with portraits, pictures of homes, etc. Included here is the third volume, often lacking because it was printed nearly ten years after the first two. Susan B. Anthony collaborated with Elizabeth Cady Stanton in efforts to abolish slavery and secure equal rights for women. Anthony's arrest in 1872 for violation of voting laws was an important event in the push for suffrage, though it would still take almost fifty more years before the passage of the nineteenth amendment in 1920. She is considered a very important figure in the history of Rochester, New York, where she spent much of her life. She is buried there at Mount Hope Cemetery, and each year advocates for equal rights visit her grave to honor her advocacy and activism.
