Upham, Timothy:

A SERMON DELIVERED BEFORE THE COLUMBIAN LODGE, AT DEERFIELD, DEC.27, 1792, AT THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST. BY THE REV....PASTOR OF THE CHURCH IN THAT PLACE.

Portsmouth: John Melcher, 1793. 23, [1 blank] pp. Disbound, bit of loosening, else Very Good. On the subject of Freemasonry, about which his audience doubtless expected some discussion, Reverend Upham is judiciously neutral: "Much respected friends,- as to the end and design of your institution, the principles of Masonry, or the Festival you this day profess to celebrate, you can expect nothing from me. To say any thing in commendation of that which I know nothing of, would be insincere, and to censure it would be illiberal and unjust." A scarce New Hampshire imprint. FIRST EDITION. Evans 26373. NAIP w023191 [7]. Item #22658
