"A Sermon Preached Before His Honor Samuel Adams, Esq. Lieutenant Governor; the Honorable the Council, Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, May 28tyh, 1794. Being the Day of General Election". By Samuel Deane, a pastor of the First Church in Portland.
This pamphlet was printed in Boston by Adams and Larkin, 1794.
Original string binding with untrimmed margins, 6 by 9 inches, period writing to the outer wrapper, very nice condition.
Note: Samuel Deane's 1794 election sermon, delivered on May 28 before the Massachusetts General Court—including Lieutenant Governor Samuel Adams—offers a compelling reflection on the moral and civic responsibilities of both leaders and citizens in the early American republic. Deane, a Harvard-educated minister of the First Church in Portland (then part of Massachusetts), chose Proverbs 3:6 as his guiding text: "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths."
