Item description from seller

Octavo. 30, [2] pp. First edition. Stitched in self-wrappers. Light soiling and toning to the outer leaves, but generally, quite a clean copy with only light rubbing to the extremities; some age spotting to the final pages. Thatcher offers a Christmas Day sermon, fittingly, focused on the birth of Jesus-its context and implications including the effects of the spread of the Christian religious. He enumerates the ways in which it improved upon "heathen" religions in the practice of worship, in the nature of morality, and in its impacts on laws and customs. In some reflections towards the end of the sermon, Thatcher makes implicit reference to the not too distant War of Independence from which rose a new nation: "The United States of America are added to the list of Christian nations, who, to the blessings of religion in its native simplicity, have added such free and glorious constitutions of civil government, as have exhibited the highest point to which human felicity can be carried. The most free and rational enquiries on civil and religious subjects are not only allowed, but invited. The sour, unsocial spirit of bigotry is obliged to lay aside its former insolence, and disguise its nature or retreat to the habitation of ignorance and folly" (p. 27-8). To look throughout history to the present day, Thatcher's sentiment might have been overly naive from the start. Evans 34645.
