1846002272Boston: I.R. Butts 1846. Paperback. Good. Third Edition. 33 1 p.; 20 cm. Stitched pamphlet; pages have not been trimmed. Former owner's name inscribed in an old hand at head of title page: Wm. Rutherford. Parker had become minister of the 28th Congregational Church Boston in January 1846; his congregation included Elizabeth Cady Stanton William Lloyd Garrison and Louisa May Alcott. He was an abolitionist and strongly opposed the Mexican-American War which began in 1846 after the United States annexed Texas. Although Mexico opposed the annexation because it considered Texas part of Mexico in the United States it was very divisive because it was seen as increasing the strenth of the Southern states in the struggle over slavery. The United States declared war on Mexico on May 13 1846; Parker preached this sermon less than one month later explaining his opposition to war in general and the war with Mexico in particular. In Good Condition: original stitching lacking and was restitched at some distance time; soiled; corners are creased with chipping of some lower corners; complete. I.R. Butts paperback
