Thompson was a prominent Congregationalist minister. During his time at the Chapel Street Church in New Haven, he was a contributing editor of The New Englander, later The Yale Review. He moved to New York later in 1845, where he spent years as a staunch abolitionist and founded The Independent, a religious anti-slavery weekly newspaper, in 1848. This sermon discusses the recent murder of Lucius P. Osborn by Andrew P. Potter, a "lewd" individual. Potter borrowed a watch from Osborn. Wanting to keep it, he murdered Potter by bashing his skull with a pike pole. Thompson focuses on the thesis that a man corrupted by lewdness is likely to become a criminal who will commit brutal acts. OCLC locates 1 copy in a law library (Yale). Not in McDade.
