Bridgeport, CT: Lockwood & Sterling, 1822. Pamphlet. 37p., in new plain wraps, heavily foxed, unevenly trimmed, some edge wear, title page slightly abraded with the loss of a few letters.

Kneeland was a Universialist evangelist and minister who was controversial for his pantheist theological views and his and support of birth control, divorce, and interracial marriage. He was skeptical of established religion and was later jailed for blasphemy after writing that "Universalists believe in a god which I do not; but believe that their god, with all his moral attributes, (aside from nature itself,) is nothing more than a chimera of their own imagination" in an 1833 issue of his newspaper, The Investigator. After his release, he moved to Iowa and established the utopia community Salubria.
