About This Item
[Charleston?, 1847. Caption title [as issued], 4pp. Disbound, else Very Good.
Reverend Smith was a South Carolina Methodist, and one of the South's foremost apologists for Slavery. In this rare Address he tells the Palmetto Regiment, as it prepares to leave for Mexico and war, "You have been invoked to preserve inviolate the standards which have been presented to you, and to exhibit that intrepidity and gallantry for which South Carolina has ever been distinguished." The soldiers should, he says, act like Christians in performing their duty. They will demonstrate that "the volunteer force" will sustain the Nation and that a standing army "is not absolutely necessary to the protection of its rights."
FIRST EDITION. Not in Turnbull, Sabin, Haferkorn, Tutorow, Decker, Eberstadt, NUC, LCP. OCLC locates three copies, under two accession numbers [Duke, UNC, USC], as of January 2017.
