Excerpt from The Advocate of Peace, and Universal Brotherhood, Vol. 1: April, 1846 By all the considerations which I have mentioned, we, implore of you collectively and individually to use your influence in averting the horrors of war. By the associations of the past, by anticipations of the future, we appeal to you not to retard the progress of mankind and throw it back, it may be a century. The march of science will be arrested; the legisla tion of peace suspended; great public works of utility neglected; com merce impeded the hands of man imbrued in his brother's blood, and an awful responsibility incurred by all, who have not endeavored to prevent such calamities.

Excerpt from Advocate of Peace, and Universal Brotherhood, Vol. 1: May, 1846 Friend burritt, - Whether it was one of your Manchester friends, or whether, indeed, it was nothing less than a dove from your own Ameri can woods that dropt one of your Olive Leaves in my cab, - I won't stop to consider. It's enough that I've read the Leaf again and again, and can't help thanking you for it. Can't help admiring how that you, a poor man not worth a dollar in the world, as you say of yourself, Should be scattering thousands and thousands of these healing Leaves about America - Leaves in their meaning and intention worth all the laurels that ever grew out of dead men's graves, made SO foul and rank with dead men's blood. Your Leaf fell into my hands just after I'd read Mr. Adams's speech in Congress, where he stands upon the Bible for his right to Oregon, and would cut throats according to his notion of Genesis! Foolish Old gentle man! He can't have many years' mortal breath in him, and therefore it is sad to see him puffing and puffing to blow the embers of war into a blaze - to see him, as I may say, ramming down murderous bullets, and wad ding muskets with leaves from the Bible! But there's a sort of religion that would sharpen the sword itself on the stone tables of Moses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
