Author: Wayland, Francis
Title: A Discourse Delivered in First Baptist Church, Providence, R.I. On the Day of Public Thanksgiving, July 21, 1842
Description: Providence, H.H. Brown, 1842. Pamphlet. Pamphlet, lacking any wrappers issued. String sewn, with several binding holes present, indicating this was removed from a larger volume. 32 pp. A work further reflecting on the events surrounding the then very recent Dorr's Rebellion Rhode Island, recalling through allusion and in some detail, the basic events of the rebellion, taking a slight "Charterite" stance (against Dorr and his actions), although advocating for the enhanced voting rights sought after by Dorr and his supporters. Wayland incorporates religious teachings and does also mention actions taken by the state legislature in an effort to acknowledge the "rebels." Dorr's Rebellion arose out of disenfranchisement incorporated into the original constitution that allowed only property owners to vote, thereby giving rural citizens more power over the rising population of those in the cities. GOOD condition. Slightly ex-library with a small stamp to the title page. Faint fold crease present. Minor toning, offsetting and foxing. Light soiling. Some wrinkling. Good .
