“An Oration delivered on the Fourth of July, 1861, before the Municipal
Authorities of the City of Boston” by Theophilus Parsons. Printed in
Boston by J.E. Farwell & Co. in 1861.
Given just a short time after the South fired on Fort Sumter a large
part of this speech is given over to ruminations on the current crisis
and the larger question of what is the best form of government. An
appendix gives the text of several additional speeches. “Theophilus
Parsons [1797–1882] was Dane Professor of Law at Harvard from 1848 to
1870. Parsons is remembered chiefly as the author of a series of useful
legal treatises and some books in support of Swedenborgian doctrines. He
also edited and published the Civil War letters of his daughter, Emily
Elizabeth Parsons, a nurse and administrator of Benton Barracks military
hospital in St. Louis, Mo.”.
Hardcover. 6”x9.25”, 59 pages. Embossed and gilt-stamped black cloth.
Spine with slight chipping. Minor soil, front hinge cracked but tight.
