Sm. 4to. 47 pages.

No copy known. The above title and description are given by the Rev. Ethan Allen, D. D. in his sketch of
the Rev. William Brogden in Sprague, Annals (Epis.) The place of publication is given in Dr. Alien's List of the
Publications of the P. E. Clergymen of Maryland, in Ms. in the Maryland Diocesan Library. Dr. Allen says that
the sermon was a "Gunpowder Plot" sermon. That he had a copy of the book by him when writing his biograph-
ical sketch for Sprague's "Annals" is sufficiently clear from the exactness with which he cites its title, and from
the fact that he quotes a passage from its dedicatory address "to the Vestry, and other inhabitants" of Queen
Anne Parish. Dr. Allen concludes his account of the book with these words: "The Discourse shows Mr. Brog-
den to have been not only a man of piety, and an independent and unflinching spirit, but also to have been a
well read historian, a fine classical scholar, and conversant with the French language." See No. 140.
