Patriot Preachers Of The American Revolution (1862)

With biographical sketches. It was the editor's purpose of this volume to present a collection of the most characteristic sermons, that were preached by the most celebrated divines, who occupied the American pulpits during the period extending from the Repeal of the Stamp Act in 1766 through the Revolution, to the establishment of peace in 1783. The brief biographical sketches prefixed to each sermon are intended to simply indicate the position and character of their respective writers, and to give a rapid sketch of their lives and services.
