Subject: Extortion

This pamphlet contains a sermon delivered by Jonathan French at a lecture in the South Parish in Andover on January 1, 1777. The sermon, titled "A Practical Discourse Against Extortion," uses the Old Testament book of Ezekiel as its foundation to argue against extortion. It offers a commentary on the socio-economic realities of the time and may reflect the anxieties and challenges faced during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The sermon was printed in Boston by T. and J. Fleet.
