Duodecimo (19 cm tall), rebacked in black calf with gilt tooling (including the publishing year) on spine and original brown cloth boards which show some edgewear and small marks. Internally good, with new blank endpapers; flyleaves show foxing, some pages with pencil marks and small edge loss to last page.
George Barrel Cheever was an American minister, reformist and abolitionist who was generally regarded as the most prominent among the Yankee apostles of reform. As a leader of the Christian Abolitionist Movement, he campaigned fiercely for temperance, abolition of slavery and rights for Blacks, yet curiously defended captial punishment.
Voices of Nature is a typical 19th-century creationist interpretation of nature. Cheever argued how phenomena and patterns in nature are symbolic of spiritual reality, and cannot make sense as an intellectual portayal or from an atheistic point of view.
