1833 American Revivalist Magazine. Revivals, Slavery, Fits & Faintings during Revival, &c.
A single issue, in very large format, c.20 x 24 inches on four large pages, with exceptional content. We have known of this important New York, Second Great Awakening periodical, but never handled another issue.
Saxton, N. C. [ed]. American Revivalist and Rochester Observer. Dedicated to the interests of Zion Generally, and Especially to Revivals of Religion. April 27, 1833.
Exceptional content including the Baptist missionaries to Burmah, a history of the revival extremes during the Great Awakening [out-cries, fainting, and fits], Gilbert Tennent, plus accounts of then-modern revivals, conversion of Jews, a first-hand account of a slave auction, an interesting article on Temperance Societies for colored persons, etc.,
Losses and tears at corner, folded. Fair only, but impressive visually and very rare.
