New York: Harper & Brothers, 1836. New and Improved Edition. Hardcover. Good. Octavo, 7.6 in. x 4.8 in., pp. 359. Dark brown cloth boards with gilt title to spine. Ribbing to extremities. Corners showing. Pages 1-8 offer publisher's advertising. Dark dime-sized ink stains to preliminary pages. Light vertical tideline through page 26, and to rear endpapers. Light spotting throughout. Calvin Colton (1789-1857) was a prolific American author, clergyman, and advocate of conservative political thought during the turbulent years leading up to the American Civil War. ... His contributions spanned various genres including theology, politics, and social commentary, distinctly reflecting his robust convictions and eloquence.... Colton's literary style combined meticulous reasoning with a persuasive, if sometimes polemical, prose that sought to engage the critical issues of his day. His writings continue to offer scholars valuable insights into the sociopolitical landscape of 19th-century America and the complex interplay of religion, ethics, and politics thereof. Colton's legacy remains one of a contentious figure whose beliefs and arguments encapsulate a pivotal era in American history. (from Google Books)
