[Horace Bushnell of North Church, Hartford, Connecticut, Congregational minister, religous writer.] Printed pamphlet: 'Prosperity Our Duty. | A Discourse delivered at the North Church, Hartford, Sabbath Evening, January 31, 1847. By Horace Bushnell.

24pp, 8vo. Saddle-stitched pamphlet in pink wraps the the title-page reprinted on the cover, this time within a decorative border. In fair condition, aged, worn and creased, with slight loss to outer corner of front cover. Bushnell takes as his text 2 Chronicles XXXII.30, and begins his 'Discourse': 'Any community or city will prosper that will do its duty. Having the prudence necessary to a right husbandry of its resources, the industry to improve its advantages, and the spirit to seize on whatever opportunities are placed within its reach, the increase of substance and of numbers is a necessary consequence. It may not always come by damming water-courses, and opening sluices or canals, to bring in supplies of water. There are other sluices of prosperity besides water-sluices, and a wise people will make their election.' No copies found in Britain. Now uncommon.
