1815biblio1Pamphlet 8vo removed disbound 35 pp. Mostly disbound a bit soiled folds and creases at edges ink smudge on title aging and toning throughout. Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.

Ten issues in all 8vo the first two issues with some worming; all else generally very good in original printed blue wrappers. Worcester 1758-1837 was a fifer in the Revolution and later a clergyman who "came to regard war whether offensive or defensive as unjustifiable" see DAB. A pioneer of the American peace movement in December 1814 he published A Solemn Review of the Custom of War under the pen-name Philo Pacificus "still considered one of the best pieces of anti-war literature ever committed to print and as relevant today as then. In 1815 he founded the Massachusetts Peace Society serving as its secretary until 1828. From 1819 to 1828 he tirelessly edited The Friend of Peace a quarterly periodical of the Society as well as wrote most of its content.
