Mr. Brown's Thanksgiving Sermon
Unknown artist
This bound quarto contains Clark Brown’s sermon preached in Swanzey, New Hampshire, Warwick, Massachusetts, and Putney, Vermont on the annual Thanksgivings celebrated in those states. It was published by John Prentiss of Keene, New Hampshire in 1808. The sermon was titled “The Propitious manifestations of God, considered as subjects demanding the grateful homage of Thanksgiving, and as excitements to devout adoration and humble supplication.” While the Copp’s library is full of sermons, Reverend Clark Brown (1771-1817) had a family connection to the Copp’s, as he was Samuel Copp’s (1743) nephew through Dolly Brown.
