Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Public Spirit and Mobs: Two Sermons Delivered at Springfield, Mass, on Sunday, February 23, 1851, After the Thompson Riot
I intended this morning to preach with reference to the late disturbances among us but finding that there had unavoidably entered into my discourse much that was civic and municipal, and that it was a very painful and troublesome subject, I concluded to defer it to the afternoon, and to prepare our minds for that duty by something in which we could have greater religious enjoyment and repose. I propose therefore to you the text, on which I shall first have something to say of the person, of his act, and of the reason for it.
