Thatcher, Peter Oxenbridge

Two Charges to the Grand Jury of the County of Suffolk for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the Opening of the Municipal Court of the City of Boston

Boston: Button and Wentworth, Printers, 1837. Paper wraps. 31pp. Staining on cover and chipping on spine, crease through center. With an inscription from Thatcher to Rev. Mr. Brownson. We assume this was Orestes Brownson, the noted transcendentalist follower of Robert Dale Own and Fanny Wright. There is a brief reference to convert rioters. In the talk he mentions oaths and states that no one can be denied being a witness except an avowed atheist. There is also a discussion of gambling and lotteries. Item #3173
