Description:
Boston, MA: S.G. Simpkins, 1833. 15.5 x 24 cm. Author notes that we regard with horror the customs of ancient heathens,in offering their children in sacrifice to idols. We are shocked by the customs of the Hindoos, in burning woman alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands, and by casting living children into the Ganges in a living sacrifice-- yet Christian nations decide controversy among nations by the edge of a sword, by powder and ball, or the point of a bayonet! The depravity occasioned by war is not confied to the army. Every species of vice gains ground in a nation during war. Author declares that war is a heathenish and savage custom, of the most malignant, most desolating, and most horrible character. Paper booklet, bound by strans of thread. Several pages have never been opened. Fair. . Catalogs: Educational/Religious.
