Bound in attractive modern half brown morocco and marbled paper over boards gilt-lettered spine title. Light foxing Good plus. <br /> <br /> Wales Professor of Divinity at Yale discourses learnedly on the state of the nation and the difficulties which the Constitutional Convention would attempt to solve two years later in Philadelphia. <br /> "We have been often delivered in a most signal manner both from the secret stratagems and the open assaults of our enemies." Echoing an emerging theme he asserts that God has singularly blessed this country. But we have not sufficiently discharged our "obligations to those who have voluntarily taken an hazardous or an expensive part in effecting our late happy revolution." At very least the bondholders should be paid and not in depreciated currency which is destroying the country. Moreover we should become self-sufficient and not hanker "after British gew-gaws and foreign luxuries." <br /> He views with alarm the tendency toward factions and rivalries among the States. <br /> Evans 19359. Trumbull 1559. ESTC W37838. Printed by Barlow & Babcock unknown
