ACT OF INCORPORATION AND STATED RULES OF THE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED BRETHREN FOR PROPAGATING THE GOSPEL AMONG THE HEATHEN.
Philadelphia: Conrad Zentler, 1825. 16pp, stitched in original plain wrappers. Scattered foxing, Good+.
The 1788 Act incorporating the society is printed, followed by the Stated Rules, which fix its principal office at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; establish its mission as "the furtherance and propagation of the knowledge of Jesus Christ among the poor benighted heathen"; and set forth its rules of governance. The unlucky local Indians appear to be the Society's principal targets.
