- Notes:
- "In the winter of 1805, a transient man perished in the snow, with a bottle of spirits at his side, about a mile from the meeting-house, in this place. In consequence of the reflections excited by that event, the following discourse was delivered to my own people. About three years afterward, it was read as an occasional exercise at a ministers' meeting. In deference to the judgment of my brethren, after considerable delay, it is now given to the public."--Advertisement, p. [2]. Signed: E. Porter. Washington, (Conn.) August 7, 1811.
