4496REVEREND JOHN PAGE 1738-1783. Page received from Harvard College his AB in 1761 and his AM in 1764. He was ordained as a Congregational minister in Danville New Hampshire in 1763. He died of smallpox on January 29 1783 after tending to sick parishoners. THE STAMP ACT. In the wake of Britain’s expensive victory in the French and Indian War Parliament decided to tax the colonists to pay for the conflict. In 1765 the British government required that materials printed in the colonies use paper produced in London and bearing an embossed revenue stamp; this included newspapers legal documents etc. Additionally Parliament stated that the tax had to be paid with British currency not cheap colonial paper money. The colonists thought the tax was unfair and that they had no say in its passage. Street protests erupted in several states and there were political measures taken too. In October 1765 the Stamp Act Congress attended by nine colonies was held in New York City. Across the Atlantic Parliament got the message about the Stamp Act and voted to repeal it in February 1766. The Stamp Act however was the forerunner to the Townsend Act and other unpopular measures Parliament took and they are regarded as perhaps the first shot in the quest for Independence. AM. 3 ¾†x 6 ¼â€. 20 pgs. 1765-1766. No place Danville New Hampshire. A lengthy and fiery manuscript sermon delivered by Reverend John Page of Danville New Hampshire. The minister responded to the Stamp Act from the pulpit. In this manuscript which was likely his reading copy Reverend Page frequently uses abbreviations i.e. “Chh†for “Church†and “Jes†for “Jesusâ€. He mixes Biblical stories with what was occurring in the Colonies. The sermon begins as the usual fire and brimstone from the era with a mention of Revelation 3:2 “ Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God†and then states: “This Chap begins with ye Epistle of our Jes & to ye Chh of is in Sardis wh was one of ye Seven Chh…in Asia after ye Glorious Description given of & yt he has ye Seven Spirit of - & ye Seven Stars – he acquaints ye Ch with her own State & Condition yt tho she had a Name to live – yet was dead – he then propounds a remedy & a Reason to excite them to ye else of ye same – ye Remedy in this to be watchful & to strengthen ye Things yt remain yt are ready to die – I shall consider at ye time only ye first of these – Be watchful & here I shall show…so yt we must keep ye at all times in all places upon all Occa when we are along & when we are in Company Abroad and at home…in Civil Affairs & moral…in our Religious Duties…â€. Several pages in Reverend Page turns his attention to the effect of the Stamp Act on his parishoners: “see as first hand as ye is truly ye case with New England & with America for several years past we have been involved in a controversy of a most interesting nature with Gt. Britain a Controversy wh Strikes at ye root of our Civil & gtly endangers our religious liberties & privileges – ye British parliament in wh we are in no sense represented have in performance of an assumed right to…Laws binds on ye Colonies in all Cases whtsover passed many Grevious Acts tends to destroy our Constitution rob us of our freedom & subject us to a state of Inglorious Servitude alarmed at these proceeds ye Colonies have referenced…& remonstrated but all in vain to who control ye Councils of Gt.

There are several more pages of Bible stories and sulfuric references. Danville New Hampshire is just a few miles inland from Portsmouth. In September 1765 a mob gathered and burned the local stamp collector in effigy. On November 1 1765 the day the Stamp Act official became law Portsmouthians had a mock funeral for Liberty complete with a coffin and ringing bells. Surely Reverend Page was aware of what was occurring in nearby Portsmouth as well as Boston just to the south. The manuscript is in very good condition with dark ink though written in a small hand. There are some light stains and a few of the pages have their edges chipped affecting a few words. The best most anti-British passages are mostly written on four smaller pages glued in the center of the manuscript. The American Book Prices Current shows no other Stamp Act sermons ever selling. A fine example of anti-British sentiment from a minister and it is representative of the energies and resentments that led to the American Revolution a decade later. unknown books
176635807Boston: Edes & Gill 1766. Broadsheet newspaper extra. 2pp. Disbound.<br/> <br/>Provenance: Hannibal Hamlin inked stamp<br/> <br/>News of the repeal of the Stamp Act and the celebrations in Boston.<br/> <br/>Although news of the repeal of the Stamp Act had first reached Boston on May 16 1766 subsequent issues of Edes and Gill's Boston Gazette were devoted to the event. In this June 2 newspaper extra the first column and a half of the first page is given over to a lengthy critique of Governor Francis Bernard written anonymously by Dr. Joseph Warren under the pen name Paskalos under the above headline. During the Stamp Act controversy Bernard had written letters to the London Board of Trade which were deemed by the Sons of Liberty as unsympathetic to the American position. This harsh letter by Warren would be the first of many in a tirade against the colonial governor eventually leading Bernard to attempt and arrest Edes and Gill for libel. Also included in this newspaper extra are reports from the various Stamp Act celebrations in the colonies most notably in Philadelphia New York Charleston South Carolina and Boston. An extract from a Hartford letter however reports that a celebration with fireworks had caused a school house to explode resulting in significant casualties. Edes & Gill unknown books
