Autograph letter signed "James Petrie" to John A. Clements Esq. "My Dear Friend"

1853313730Pluckamin NJ 1853. 2 pp. on 1 leaf stampless cover pen and ink on paper with accompanying envelope. 4to. Old folds fine. 2 pp. on 1 leaf stampless cover pen and ink on paper with accompanying envelope. 4to. 'The Rappers Are Still in Full Blast'. An entertaining and predictably pious letter mentioning the "rappers" a reference to the spiritualism movement started by the Fox sisters that had gripped upstate New York and eventually the entire country in the mid 19th century with a thinly veiled ant-semitic reference to Satan having a "synagogue" in Liberty. Further on in the our letter Petrie turns his attention to his congregation in New Jersey and relates the tale of a soldier of fortune that has become a "soldier of the cross." Reading in part: "I received a letter from Mr. Boyd this week. He tells me the rappers are still in full blast & I am afraid they have prevented much good from being done this winter & spring. It is melancholy to think how busy Satan is to delude & destroy unstable souls & that even professors of religion can be found among his most successful agents but it is & the devil is never more likely to deceive than when he transforms himself into an angel of light. It grieves me much that he has a synagogue in Liberty. Our church continues to grow gradually at our communion last . week 8 were added . one of them was a man 70 years of age. He had been a soldier in Napoleon's army in Spain Portugal Prussia & etc. & was taken a prisoner by the English & was in prison a whole year. On condition of fighting against this country he was liberated & came here as a soldier he soon deserted & joined the American Army in which he served till peace was proclaimed. He then settled a few miles from this place in Washington Valley & I hope at the eleventh hour has become a soldier of the cross." Rev. James Petrie was born in Perthshire Scotland in 1814. He came to the US in 1831 and in 1833 entered Princeton College graduating from the college in 1836 and from the Theological Seminary in 1839. He was installed as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Liberty Sullivan County New York in 1840 and remained there for 12 years before being installed as the first pastor of the newly established Presbyterian Church in Pluckamin Somerset County New Jersey in 1852. Petrie resigned due to ill health in 1856 and moved to Jersey City. He continued to preach throughout New Jersey until his death in 1886 in Plainfield. unknown books

Abraham Staats born c. 1665 was a younger son of New Netherland pioneers Abraham and Tryntie Wessels Staats. He joined other Albany residents in signing a loyalty oath to the King of England in 1699. In 1700 his sloop was carrying cargoes on the Hudson for the provincial government. However within a decade he had sold most of his Albany property and moved his family across the river to Staats lands near today's Stockport. He maintained a large farmstead and lived there for the remainder of his life. Col. Peter Dumont Vroom 1745-1831 represented Somerset County as an Assemblyman 179091 179496 and 181113 and served in the Legislative Council from 1798 to 1804 as a Federalist.

EUMENES: BEING A COLLECTION OF PAPERS WRITTEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXHIBITING SOME OF THE MORE PROMINENT ERRORS AND OMISSIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF NEW- JERSEY.AND TO PROVE THE NECESSITY OF CALLING A CONVENTION FOR REVISION AND AMENDMENT

1799WRCAM36586Trenton: Printed by G. Craft 1799. vi9-1496pp. Later plain wrappers paper label. Wrappers edgeworn splitting along front hinge. Light even tanning. About very good. In a half morocco box. This copy bears the ownership signature of Elisha Boudinot on page 29. The tract's author William Griffith studied law in Boudinot's office in Newark before being admitted to the bar in 1788. Boudinot's brother Elias was an important New Jersey lawyer and politician a member of the Continental Congress in the 1770s and '80s and a U.S. Representative from 1789 to 1795. This scarce collection of essays by William Griffith a prominent Burlington lawyer and legal writer argues for the revision of the Revolutionary-era New Jersey constitution. The original constitution crafted over a period of five days and signed just before the Declaration of Independence was a document that did little more than proclaim the state's independence from royal authority and establish a basic framework for government. In these essays some of which had been printed in the STATE GAZETTE Griffith sought to "bring home to every man's heart a conviction of the actual evils which arise out of the theoretic errors of the constitution." The fifty-three essays point out the defects in the constitution and describe Griffith's alternatives on issues such as the judiciary representation etc. Though Griffith and his Federalist cohorts supported revising the 1776 constitution the Republicans in the state opposed revision and carried the day. The New Jersey constitution would not be revised until 1844. EVANS 35570. FELCONE 105. SABIN 28829. COHEN 3194. Printed by G. Craft unknown books
