Thoughts For The Times by Joel Prentiss Bishop - 1863

Little, Brown, 1863 1st ed. 36 pages. Concerning the Civil War "In the first chapter of this pamphlet I mean to show, that the troubles of this country grow, at least in part, out of it's politics; the politicians mend not, but they mar..." "Had there been no wickedness in the land, there had been no war. Had this wickedness not developed itself into political lying, there had been no war... Had their been no ignorance, especially the people of the South, been taken advantage of by self-seeking politicians, there had been no war." Some things never change. Good condition with wear and soiling to covers. Light damp stain to margins of all pages. WB1E
