1852toby1852<p>1852 softcover pamphlet discussing the downside of tobacco. When I got this the cover was off. Volume has had some restoration: cover is backed with matching paper and reattached. Paper and binding are fragile but overall readable with a gentle touch. Primary defect is the corner off the front page. Interior has foxing and stains but no vandalism. I think the author comes out of the same group that published Solomon Spittle which I also have listed. 1852 is the first year this was published but this is titled "Fourth Thousand" so this is an early printing. Has 8 plates that are included in pagination. 179 pages complete as issued. An uncommon item generally found in poor condition. This is decent not great which sometimes is the best you can do. Topic is health problems of tobacco. Discusses addiction acute toxicity chronic health problems including heart and lung disease as well as problems of second hand smoke. Auction records show only 2 sold and last seen in 1984. Both were dated 1852. Feel free to inquire. Please see scans of the book you will receive.</p> For the Author by Edward Livermore paperback

Simeon Brown was the most memorable event in the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Lebanon's history. Held at the Church in front of the Miami Presbytery Rev. Brown was charged with unsoundness of faith for denying the doctrine of limited atonement. His beliefs which were cited in the charges included those that "Christ gave his life for the world and it is absurd to limit the word world to the elect." The Presbytery found him guilty and Rev. Brown subsequently wrote in his defense that "I maintained that our Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior provided for and sincerely offered in the Gospel to all who hear it but the Presbytery held that He is provided for the elect only." Found guilty of this one charge the sympathy of the public was chiefly with him and the members of his church were mostly on his side. Rev. Brown chose to separate from the Presbyterian Church and the trial led to the formation of the Lebanon Congregational Church.</p> Lebanon, Ohio: Printed at the Western Star Office, 1856. paperback
