¶ Jedidiah Morse (1761-1826) clergyman and geographer wrote Geography Made Easy in 1784, which was said by historian George W. White to be the first geography published in the United States; others soon followed and were highly successful. In 1797 Morse published his first geographical dictionary, The American Gazetteer. This fourth edition was published with the aide of his son with whom he also worked on a pocket gazetteer. (A separate atlas of sixty-three maps was created by Aaron Arrowsmith and Samuel Lewis).

A Sermon Preached at Charlestown November 29, 1798. On the Anniversary Thanksgiving in Massachusetts. With an Appendix Designed to Illustrate Some Parts of the Discourse; Exhibiting Proofs of the Early Existence, Progress and Deleterious Effects of French Intrigue and Influence in the United States. By Jedidiah Morse, D.D. Pastor of the Church in Charlestown.

Worcester, MA: Printed by Daniel Greenleaf, July 10th, 1799. - Octavo, softcover unbound in printed self-wraps sewn with cream cord. The outer leaves are darkened, lightly stained & chipped with the corners bumped & creased. There are tiny brown marks to the edges of the half-title & the bottom edge of the rear leaf. There are pieces out of the bottom corner & front edge of the rear leaf. 88 pages, including the half-title. The edges of the pages are darkened & chipped & their corners are creased. There is scattered light staining & foxing and there is an early owner's ink name below the end of the text. Good. This is the first Worcester edition of a pamphlet originally published in 1798 by Samuel Hall in Boston [Evans 35841].Best remembered as the "father of American Geography", Morse was a strong Federalist. "He was startled and dismayed in the 1790's by the rising tide of republicanism and by the prevalence of the 'French influence', which seemed to him to threaten 'orderly' government and religion in the United States. In 1798 he firmly believed that he had discovered the secret cause of these evils in the spread of Illuminism to this side of the Atlantic, and, giving wide publicity to this dubious discovery in three sensational published sermons, he contributed not a little to the wave of popular hysteria which followed the outbreak of the quasi-war with France." [Dictionary of American Biography]. The sermon published here is one of the three referred to by the DAB.
