Sobre este artículo
8vo. [iv], 31 pp., including half-title, list of officers and members of the Society, and a very interesting section on the "resuscitative process." Wrappers with title label on front; uncut, interior excellent with an inscription of D. Greenleaf on the half-title.
First edition of one of Reverend Thacher's sermons delivered in Boston. Thacher (1756–1812) was a prominent preacher in Massachusetts, and many of his sermons were printed during his career. This sermon begins with a verse from Luke Ch. 12 and proceeds to discuss the themes of philanthropy and charity. The sermon fits with the mission of the audience. A group of Bostonians established the Humane Society in 1786 in order to find ways to prevent water-related deaths such as shipwrecks and drownings, an unfortunately common occurrence. They are largely responsible for introducing life-saving methods including lifeboats and rescue techniques to Massachusetts Bay. Thacher's message of helping others would have resonated with the Humane Society in attendance, and offers additional insight into this fascinating group of people.
