A
sampling of content...
December 2, 1843 –
Baptism By Immersion – “…I perceive that our brethren of
the Baptist and Congregationalist communities, are conveying the idea to their
readers, that something new and strange is going on up here in Vermont…”
A Sermon – “There is no deception to which men
are more subject, than to mistake of an excited imagination for the evidence of
true religion….But what are the fruits which genuine religion produces?...It
will expand the mind, enlarge the heart…and break down all those barriers which
separate brother from brother….”
The ’Puritan’s’ Charge Rebutted – “We find in the ‘Puritan’, of last
week, an article entitle “Infidel Morality’, the chief object of which appears
to be to slander Universalists, a work in which the editors of that paper take
great delight…”
*******************
December 9, 1843 –
The
Beggars of Ireland –
“All over Ireland, except in the Protestant province of Ulster, crowds of
beggars surround the traveller and present such a picture of human wo and
destitution…”.
Haman the
Agagite – “…Who
was ever more fortunate than he? It was the glorious lot of Haman to be chosen
favorite of a powerful monarch…How many looked up to the happy favorite, with
envy!...Yet there was one element of weakness and folly in his heart…He was
vain, childishly vain…”.
Condition
These two 183-year-old newspapers are in good to very good overall condition.
The December 3, 1843 issue has more edge
wear.
The paper itself is surprisingly
‘non-brittle’.
Both issues are complete and intact.
The publications have been folded
horizontally – which is how they will be shipped (see below).
