251229Melbourne: E.W. Cole: 1900 A stylish art nouveau decorated cloth that is hard covers pp. iv 62 162 x 110 mm. Frontispiece. Cole published only two novels by women. One of them was this novella A Question of Taste by Esther Hacknay author of Thistledown serialised in 1899 in The Adelaide Observer. Immediate doubt is thereby cast on the spelling of the authors surname on the cover and title page of this Cole publication since Thistledown is attributed to the much more likely Esther Hackney. A very good copy. hardcover

He seems to have specialised in sermons on public occasions; in 1784 he preached at the execution for burglary of one John Dixon.<br />This sermon reflects a key moment in the politics of the young Republic and the special political character of Massachusetts. George Washington who was in the middle of his final term as President was attempting to hold the balance between two political forces the Federalists who had created the Union and the Democratic- Republicans led by Thomas Jefferson who stressed states' rights and libertarian principles. Behind the disputes about domestic issues lay important philosophical disagreements. The Federalists were distinctly lukewarm about the French Revolution and the whole idea of democracy; their opponents accused them of being aristocratic and royalist in their aspirations. In foreign policy this led the Federalists to sympathise with England against France while the Democratic- Republicans held the reverse view. Washington while officially non-partisan was psychologically drawn to the Federalist position and went over openly to them after his Presidency ended. This led to bitter criticism of him by Jefferson and his party.<br />Massachusetts was the strongest centre of Federalism indeed the Party survived there long after it had collapsed in the rest of the country. The Governor Samuel Adams a cousin of the 2nd President John Adams was a Federalist. His career illustrates that revolutionary fervour against English rule was not necessarily associated with social radicalism. He was one of the earliest separatists and drafted the Massachusetts constitution and the Bill of Rights. He was an organiser of the Boston Tea Party.<br />Fobes' sermon takes as its text 2nd. Peter 11 10 & 12 'They despise government - are not afraid to speak evil of dignataries - and things they understand not'. He strongly criticises those who 'speak evil' of governors an obvious reference to the Democratic- Republicans and the idea that government can be carried on if not based on the Christian religion - a specific attack on French influences Deism and Tom Paine. However he qualifies this by referring to the light of liberty kindled in America now shining in France and by claiming that Republicanism is the form of government enjoined by the Bible.<br />This is an interesting aspect of the Sermon. There are any number of sermons which proclaim that Monarchy is the Divinely instituted form of government but few which claim this for Republicanism. In France the Republican ideal was associated with the rejection of Christian doctrines and in Ireland the division within the camp of democracy was between those inspired by French ideas and the upholders of legislative independence under the English crown.<br />In Ireland the American and French Revolutions had very different effects - the triumph of the Volunteers in 1782 and the defeat of the United Irishmen in 1798. This sermon with its innate conservatism helps to cast useful light on the ideological gulf which separated these revolutions which in historical writing have been closely associated.</p> Printed at the Mercury Press by Young & Minns hardcover
