Cumings, Henry:

A SERMON PREACHED AT BILLERICA, DECEMBER 15, 1796, BEING...A DAY OF PUBLIC PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING.

Boston: Thomas Fleet, 1797. 35, [1 blank] pp, with half title and final blank]. Disbound, light rubberstamp and foxing. Good+.

America is blessed with climate, natural resources, geography and all other physical requisites of the good life. Cumings praises the enlightenment of the government and people. "Our lot is cast in a land of light and vision...The civil constitutions of government under which we live are poized, in an even balance, between the extremes of arbitrary power and despotism, on the one hand, and of anarchy and unrestrained licentiousness, on the other."
