""Reply to Dr. Dewey's Address: Delivered at the Elm Tree, Sheffield, Massachusetts, with Extracts from the Same"" is a book written by William John Grayson and published in 1856. The book is a response to a speech given by Dr. Orville Dewey, a prominent American Unitarian minister, in which he discussed the role of religion in society. Grayson, a Southern writer and politician, disagreed with Dewey's views and wrote this book to offer a counterargument. The book includes excerpts from Dewey's speech, followed by Grayson's responses and critiques. Grayson argues that religion is essential to society and that it provides a moral foundation for individuals to live by. He also defends the institution of slavery, which was a controversial topic at the time. Grayson's arguments are rooted in his belief in the superiority of the Southern way of life and his support for states' rights. Overall, ""Reply to Dr. Dewey's Address"" is a reflection of the political and social tensions of the mid-19th century in the United States. It offers insight into the debates surrounding religion, morality, and slavery during this period and highlights the stark differences in opinion between Northern and Southern thinkers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
