A collection of pacifist lectures by noted clergyman Noah Worcester (1758-1837). He published several important tracts on religious subjects, and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the Holy Trinity. Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist after the War of 1812. In this work he argued that violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He found the Massachusetts Peace Society, and went to forefront a popular anti-war movement that emerged in American after the War of 1812. Scarce.
