183228565Charlestown MA: Published by Wm. H. Wheldon 1832. Original plain wrappers stitched 38pp. A pleasing untrimmed copy in its unsophisticated state. Toned with scattered foxing else Very Good.<br /> <br /> The pamphlet is a tale of religious persecution in Massachusetts against a lady of sterling character who failed to accept the divinity of Christ but who regarded him as the Messiah and human Son of God. It exposes the ill treatment of those with Unitarian sympathies and the dangers of insistence upon religious orthodoxy. Two editions were evidently published in 1832. <br /> Mrs. Richardson sought admission to the Second Congregational Church in Charlestown where she had recently moved. Its minister sought information about her from her previous church in Reading. The First Congregational Church in Reading had expelled her for turning toward Unitarianism. Its minister explained that his Church had "withdrawn all Christian watch and fellowship" from her for "violation of her own covenant vows" and her "departure" from orthodoxy. This pamphlet describes the First Church's disgraceful treatment of Mrs. Richardson: its minister and elders had frequently quizzed her closely about her theological beliefs accused her of denying Christ's divinity scolded her for poor church attendance and for propagating "pernicious statements" to Church members and called her to account at Church meetings. <br /> OCLC records seven locations under several accession numbers as of July 2015.

1822E4804<p><b>First edition very rare. </b> The <i>Address</i> is a revised version of the valedictory lecture given on 31 December 1818 to mark the centenary of the death of William Penn. It gives an explanation of the origins of the Society and then is entirely directed to the career and particularly the principles of William Penn based on 'traditional information' and 'publicly and privately attested facts'. The private information was doubtless supplied by John Penn 1760-1834 founder of the Society who as a surviving grandson of William Penn succeeded his father to the moiety of the last proprietorship of Pennsylvania.<br /></p><p>The Outinian Society was originally founded in 1817 as the Matrimonial Society in response to an anonymous poem called 'Marriage' in the <i>Monthly Magazine</i>. It had the object of promoting marriage and improving the domestic life of married couples. Extending its aims to other schemes of human happiness – to 'the more perfect knowledge of certain less obvious truths and principles of human action' – it soon changed its name to the Outinian Society apparently inspired by a line in Homer. John Penn was its president and editor Jonathan Richardson its secretary and lecturer. The lectures were very popular: <i>Records of the Origin and Proceedings of the Outinian Society</i> 1822 lists well over 1000 names of Auditors who had attended.</p><p>COPAC and OCLC list copies at the British Library Society of Friends and Harvard only.
