A Sermon Preached Before His Excellency Francis Bernard Esq And the Honorable House of Representatives Of the Province of the Massachusetts-Bay in New England May 29th 1765. Being the Anniversary for the Election of His Majesty's Council for the Province. Boston: Green and Russell 1765. Slim octavo period-style full speckled calf gilt black morocco spine label uncut; pp. 3-5 6-59 1. $3800.First edition of the influential Boston pastor's most famous and most controversial work his May 29 1765 Election Day Sermon delivered two months after passage of the incendiary Stamp Actboldly proclaiming ""when tyranny is abroad 'submission is a crime'""one of only 700 copies published.Macaulay wrote that the Stamp Act of 1765 will be remembered ""as long as the globe lasts."" It marked a sharp break from the past as ""the first direct internal tax ever to be laid on the colonies by Parliament; indeed the first tax of any sort other than customs duties"" Morison 185. ""In the summer of 1765 as colonists waited for the stamp tax to go into effect voices of protest grew louder and drew support from many ministers"" Stout New England Soul 270. In particular the sermons of pastors such as Jonathan Mayhew and Andrew Eliot ""took on new vigor new relevance and meaning."" In Eliot's May 29 1765 Election Day sermon published the same year his words were infused with ""direct power for to proclaim from the pulpit in the year of the Stamp Act and before the assembled magistrates of Massachusetts that when tyranny is abroad 'submission is a crime' was an act of political defiance"" Bailyn Ideological Origins 6. Mindful of his audience which included Britain's powerful Massachusetts-Bay Governor Francis Bernard Eliot here underscores the colonists' objections by invoking their rights as Englishmen and the tradition of common law. ""Our fathers dearly bought the privileges we enjoy"" he declares: ""It is evident when they left their native land they thought the rights of Englishmen would follow them."" Yet throughout even as he might couch his language there remains his ""unexpectedly fierce insistence"" that submission to the perversion and misuse of power is not simply a crime: it is ""an offence against the state an offence against mankind an offence against God.'""Eliot's sermon distinctly offered a ""fine articulation of a tradition of thought familiar to every New Englander if not to every American exemplifying at the outset of the Revolutionary era a substratum of belief that underlay the developing rebellion."" Soon his correspondence ""initiated by the publication of the election sermon expresses with unique clarity the transformation of election-sermon platitudes into revolutionary imperatives. It is probably the most vivid expression of this transforming or triggering process in the entire literature of the Revolution"" Bailyn Faces of Revolution 111-13. In 1768 confronted with the arrival of a British warship and four regiments of troops Eliot would write to Harvard benefactor Thomas Hollis: ""'To have a standing army! Good God! What can be worse to a people who have tasted the sweets of liberty!' He was convinced he wrote that if the English government 'had not had their hands full at home they would have crushed the colonies"" Bailyn Ideological 114. ""Eliot weathered the Revolutionary War in Boston and at the request of General Washington made the official thanksgiving sermon on March 28 1776. He died on September 13 1778"" Harvard University. First edition: title page found with ""Price two shillings"" or without this copy no priority established. Published by the printers to the House of Representatives who were paid ""in July of 1765 for about 700 copies"" Adams Independence 12a. Without half title. Adams Controversy 65-8a.
