Note 687 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
In this instance the reference is not to President Dwight’s Fourth of July sermon: that sermon had not yet been seen by Morse; but to an allusion made by Dwight to Robison’s book in a note appended to the following pamphlet: The Nature and Danger of Infidel Philosophy. Two Discourses, to the Candidates for the Baccalaureate, in Yale College, September 9, 1797…. New-Haven, 1798. Cf. Massachusetts Mercury, Aug. 17, 1798.
