By James Abercrombie, D.D. ... -- A sermon, preached in St. James's Church, Philadelphia, on Thursday, August 20, 1812, the day appointed by the president of the United States "for the devout purposes of rendering to the sovereign of the universe, and the benefactor of mankind, the public homage due to His holy attributes." ...

| General note | "It is with extreme reluctance that I commit the following sermons to the press ... in vindication of myself against the false and malicious aspersions of a widely circulating daily gazette ... They are given exactly as delivered from the pulpit, without suppression or addition ... The Democratic press, of August 27th, says, 'If the seditious sermon Dr. Abercrombie preached last Thursday, was intended as a signal, a tocsin for another St. Bartholomew's, be all the innocent blood on the heads of the aggressors. The republicans are quiet, but not tame.' ... A public charge of seditious intention ... is best refuted and repelled, by submitting the alleged cause to the candour of the public. ..."--Preface, p. [iii]-iv. |
