This is a multifaceted discussion by Julian Monson Sturtevant (1805-1886), an American author, professor, and clergyman. He also served as the 2nd president of Illinois College from 1844-1876. Sturtevant addresses a number of different subjects in his discussion. He begins with a discussion about two verses from Scripture, Matthew 10:5-6 which are about the twelve apostles being sent to Israel to spread the Gospel. Sturtevant delves into the meaning of these verses and interprets that the verses are broader in scope and do not exclusively refer to the Israelites or Jewish people. That is, Sturtevant believes these verses convey a message of universal salvation and for missionaries to cater to all people. Sturtevant then addresses the subject of American emigration moving East to West in the United States and considers it in relation to the goals of the American Home Missionary Society (AHM Society or AHMS). Sturtevant then discusses slavery which he is adamantly opposed to. He decries the fifteen slave-holding states in the South and says they are suppressing the missionary work of the AHMS. He briefly juxtaposes these states with the sixteen free states of the North and later (toward the end of the address) predicts that the institution of slavery will fail. However, Sturtevant spends much of the remainder of his discussion about American emigration and population growth in the country. Sturtevant projects that in year 2000, the population of the U.S. will be 1,000 million. While appearing concerned at times of how space and resources can accommodate an increasing population, he views American society as an exemplar of success and prosperity. According to Sturtevant, the causes of American emigration and its population growth are the "purity and moral dignity" of the family (he criticizes the Roman Catholic Church and its practice of celibacy among its clergy); the educated, civilized nature of the American public; and the "public spirit" of American emigrants and pioneers. He believes these three causes are rooted in the Protestant (Puritan) religion of the founding fathers. Please note: Sturtevant makes several discriminatory remarks throughout his address about non-English people including his argument that non-English people are prone to barbarism and his view discouraging immigration to the U.S. from any country other than England (he is very supportive of Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture). The American Home Missionary Society was a Protestant missionary society founded in 1826 following a merger between the United Domestic Missionary Society and other missionary societies from New England. Its mission was to help churches in financial need and spread the Gospel to low-income communities. In 1893, it became a part of the National Council of Congregational Churches.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 8vo, printed wrappers, slightly age dusty, 34pp., final leaf blank. A wonderfully strange, well intentioned, but ultimately too zealous clarion call to send the missionary troops to the expanding border lands of America, in order that our Manifest Destiny as a nation not fail for lack of Christianity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed analysis of why, at the time of its writing, the government and people of Great Britain held distinctly negative views towards the ongoing American Civil War efforts. The author traveled extensively throughout the UK and engaged with people of all classes, including royalty, and noted that while there was some sympathy for abolitionist views, there was widespread opposition to the union's cause. Through his observations, the author discovered that the British aristocracy viewed the North's success as a threat to their political and financial positions, leading them to secretly favor a Southern secession. The author also notes how this fear was shared to a certain extent by middle-class citizens, who relied on their loyalty to the aristocracy to maintain their social and financial standing, and by many members of the clergy who were closely tied to the upper classes. The book provides an in-depth examination of the interconnectedness of British society, class structure, and the ruling class's attitudes towards democracy, ultimately concluding that the British generally supported the Confederacy's cause as they saw it as a way to preserve their societal structures and way of life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
