A propos de cet article

Full dark brown calf with a black leather title label & gilt lines to spine, joints rubbed, corners rounded, small nick to the top of the spine, 14.3 x 9 cm (5 5/8 x 3 1/2 inches). [i]-iv, [5]-144 pp., counted and complete. Old stains in the text, predominantly in the margins. The author says that in 1812 he preached in the area of Schoharie, New York and discovered an effort there to improve the morals of the people and to suppress vice by means of Moral Societies. He was asked for a tract on Sabbath-keeping, and, knowing of none, began to wrie a tract to supply that need. Laws against Sabbath profanation were still on the books at the time, and Williston notes in his preface that these laws were constantly being broken. After beginning with a tract, Williston thought it best to expand the tract into a series of Discourses, here printed for the first time.Seth Williston (1770-1851), b. at Suffolk, Connecticut, graduated at Dartmouth in 1791. His father was a saddler and a farmer and Seth was an industrious youth working at his father’s side in these occupations. Seth took lessons in Latin and other preparatory studies before entering an Academy at Norwich, Vermont, and afterwards Dartmouth College. He taught school for about three years after his graduation after which "a new impulse seems to have been given to his religious feelings, and a tone of greater efficiency and elevation to his Christian character…[which] marked an important epoch in the history of his life." He commenced upon studies with the aim of entering the ministry, and 1794 was licensed to preach by the Tolland County Association. The early years of his ministry was marked by successful preaching as pulpit supply in churches in Connecticut and Vermont. In 1796 he visited the "Chenango country" of New York State, then an unsettled wilderness. This area comprises what are now Chenango, Broome, and Tioga counties. He was ordained as an evangelist by the North Association of Hartford County, Connecticut, and he labored intensely as a missionary of the Connecticut Society in this region of New York. In 1797 he organized a church in Lisle, N.Y., and was ordained minister of the church in 1803. "Mr. Williston’s labours in this new country were prosecuted with the most untiring zeal, and were attended by many tokens of the Divine favor. Not only his immediate charge, but the whole surrounding region, was, to a great extent, under his supervision; and the monuments of his ceaseless vigilance and fidelity were multiplied in every direction through an extensive territory." In 1810 Williston was installed as pastor of the Presbyterian church in Durham, New York. He continued as pastor at Durham until 1828, when he began a ministry of preaching in various churches across the state, and in writing several theological works. – quotations from Sprague’s Annals of the American Pulpit.…
