About This Item
Philadelphia: Ashmead,& Co., 1834. 8vo. 185 x 110 mm., [7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches]. xx, pp-13 - 300 (collation complete). Publisher's remainder binding in blue pebble cloth, leather labels on spine. Labels scuffed; paper bookplate of "Inness" on front pastedown; some light foxing. Ownership marks of James A. Inness of Carlisle, Pa. and "Vinton Donation/ Nov. 1865" in pencil on front free endpaper. First American edition, originally published London, 1823. Influential essay on War by a leading English Quakers who did much to "promote that earnest advocacy of Peace between Nations." Dymond's essay contains a distinctive tone, one that reflected not only the Christian point of view but relied heavily on his views of the nature of mankind from a philosophical dimension. It was a preview to the behavior analysis of men at war. Thomas Grimké's essay places Dymond's thought in an American context. His discussion of the education of the public against the cruelty of war was to reverberate throughout the Country for thirty years, right through the Civil War years.
