Author: Levi Frisbie
Title: A Sermon Delivered February 19, 1795, the Day of Public Thanksgiving Through the United States. Recommended by the President
Publication: Newburyport, MA: Blunt and March, 1795
Description: Very Good-.
Newburyport, MA: Blunt and March, State-Street, [1795]. First Edition. Octavo; stitched self-wrappers; 28pp. (lacking half title page, otherwise collated complete). Stitching partly perished, textblock margins a bit chipped and soiled, contemporary ownership signature along fore-edge margin of title page, else Good to Very Good.
Running counter to the modern-day misapprehension of what Thanksgiving is all about, Frisbie here gives thanks to "the happy success of our arms against our savage neighbours, who had so long, and so frequently harrassed [sic] our frontiers, and committed cruel ravages upon the lives and properties of our brethren" (p. 18).
