Some Deductions from the System Promulgated in the Page of Divine Revelation: Ranged in the Order and Form of a Catechism

The earliest religious-education work of American Universalism, and the earliest published writing by an American Universalist woman: a catechism for children setting out Rellyan universalism in question-and-answer form, printed at Norwich, Connecticut, in 1782 — with a preface in which its author (then Judith Sargent Stevens, later Murray, whose Gleaner is also in this collection) defends a woman's authority to write on divinity. No digitized scan of the original pamphlet has been located, as it survives in only a handful of copies; a modern transcription by Bonnie Hurd Smith is linked in this book's metadata.
