Additional Details

These sermons were delivered on the occasion of the annual elections in Massachusetts. Some have content which foreshadows the Revolution; in particular Daniel Shute preached in 1768, "Nor is it to be thought that Great-Britain would designedly enslave any of her free-born sons, and thereby break in upon that constitution so friendly to liberty." Three of them are inscribed to the Reverend Edward Bass of Newburyport, MA, later the first American Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of Massachusetts. Other authors include Samuel Cooper, Benjamin Stevens, Thomas Barnard, and Charles Turner. Evans 7642, 9017, 9334, 11071, 13053.
