Note
Half-title: Mr Parsons's election-sermon, May 27, 1772.
Running title: An election sermon.
Signatures: [A]4 B-E4 F2.
Sermon addresses the shifting political landscape in the years leading up to the Revolution: "the scene has changed--Grievances are complain'd of--in Great Britain--In Ireland--In America--In this Province--The day is become gloomy and dark, and the waters are troubled."
Ms. inscriptions on half title (crossed out): "Sam Ph Savage" & title: "S. P. Savage" (Savage was a prominent Boston merchant and judge who served as chairman of the Massachusetts Board of War during the revolutionary war); he also annotated several passages in the sermon to reflect his opinions of the imperial policies: he writes in reaction to the author's supposition about the colony's loyalty to the King, "true in 1772, but by ye Cruelty of his Edicts, the case is vastly altered now. And I now (1776) doubt whether if a peace was patched up, this Colony could ever honor him or the family as they unifiedly did then."
