Truair, John - The Alarm Trumpet. A Discourse, Delivered at Berkshire, Sept. 9, 1813. The Day of the National Fast, Appointed by the President, on Account of the War

Title: The Alarm Trumpet. A Discourse, Delivered at Berkshire, Sept. 9, 1813. The Day of the National Fast, Appointed by the President, on Account of the War
Description: Montpelier, VT, Walton and Goss, Printers, 1813. Pamphlet. Pamphlet. 27 pp. An anti-France work, blaming French culture and politics for the problems of the United States, including the War of 1812. Truair saw debauchery everywhere in French thinking, especially after the French Revolution, and asserted Jefferson, Madison and others were influenced by this. He accuses them of only being religious when it suits them and asserts they don't believe in religion. Truair also cites various Illuminati societies in the US as a source of ills. Overall, a strongly worded piece that takes Jefferson and other heads of state to task for the perceived downfall of the US. POOR condition. The whole piece is very tattered, torn and worn along the extremities, with some loss to the front blank wrapper, the title page, and first page of text. This includes some loss of text. Overall very heavy tearing, tattering, creasing and wear. Previous owner's signature, A. Bingham, abounds in most blank areas, indicating a they were enamored with the look of their name in script. Did we mention this was heavily worn? Text block toned. A few stray notes present. If not already clear, this is VERY worn. Sabin 97075. Poor .
