Ten issues in all 8vo the first two issues with some worming; all else generally very good in original printed blue wrappers. Worcester 1758-1837 was a fifer in the Revolution and later a clergyman who "came to regard war whether offensive or defensive as unjustifiable" see DAB. A pioneer of the American peace movement in December 1814 he published A Solemn Review of the Custom of War under the pen-name Philo Pacificus "still considered one of the best pieces of anti-war literature ever committed to print and as relevant today as then. In 1815 he founded the Massachusetts Peace Society serving as its secretary until 1828. From 1819 to 1828 he tirelessly edited The Friend of Peace a quarterly periodical of the Society as well as wrote most of its content. In 1828 the Massachusetts Peace Society merged with the newly formed American Peace Society" Wikipedia. Among the contributors besides Worcester himself are Thomas Jefferson and John Jay each contributing letters William Cowper a poem "Pity for Poor Africans"; and extracts from William Penn and Benjamin Franklin etc. Most inside front wrappers and the back wrappers are generally advertising Worcester's text books geographies spellers gazetteers etc. as well as other books published by West & Richardson Joseph T.
