A fascinating work by one of the founders of Columbia Theological Seminary, urging young men to respond to the call to preach the Gospel. Gifted by Howe himself to the seminary.
Notably, he urges the young men that the Presbyterian Synod requires double the number of ministers, if not more, than they have at present . . . especially since the Synod contains as many enslaved persons as free, and that the enslaved will need more workers than the free because of their deficiencies of education, etc.
Howe, George T. An Appeal to the Young Men of the Presbyterian Church in the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia. 1836. 48pp.
Very nicely preserved copy in original floral embossed cloth; faded at extremities. Generally clean and sound.
