Autobiography of Sylvanus Cobb

Autobiography of the first forty-one years of the life of Sylvanus Cobb, D.D. : to which is added a memoir

Sylvanus Cobb was a fighting editor: his weekly, the Christian Freeman, yoked Universalist theology to the causes of abolition and temperance when many pulpits kept silent. This volume gives his own account of his first forty-one years — farm boyhood in Maine, conversion to Universalism, ministry and journalism in Massachusetts — completed after his death with a memoir by his son, the popular novelist Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
