1818. A Christian Argument Against Retaliation and Capital Punishment [Whelpley, Samuel (1766-1817)]. Letters Addressed to Caleb Strong, Esq. Late Governor of Massachusetts, Showing, that Retaliation, Capital Punishments, And War, Are Prohibited by the Gospel; Justified by No Good Principle; Not Necessary to the Safety of Individuals or Nations: But, Incompatible with their Welfare; Inconsistent with Christian Character; And Contrary to the Laws of Christ. Providence: Printed by Miller & Hutchens, 1818. vii, [9]-126, [1] pp. Octavo (8" x 5"). Later library cloth, paper shelf label and residue of calf lettering piece to spine, endpapers added.

Light browning to text, light foxing in a few places, gradually diminishing faint dampstaining to p. 26, light soiling, edgewear and library stamp to title page, library marks to verso. $500. * Third and final edition. Whelpey was a Presbyterian preacher, first in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and later in Green River, New Jersey, who later became a school principal in New York City. First published in 1816, Letters argues that retaliation, whether in war or by capital punishment, is un-Christian. It went through three editions. This edition was later reissued in 1819 in Glasgow.
