Noah Worcester wr'ote a tract on the subject of War, representing it as at variance with the spirit of curisüanity, and calling upon all who loved their Savior or iheir fellow-men to join in effurts to abolish a practice so cruel and anti- christian. The manuscript fur tho pampHlet he carried to several publishers in Boston, but none oflheradared to be guilty of pub lislïing a doccutnent so strange and ultra and it was n. long time befure he could ge any one to undertake the printing of i' and at last, only by leaving off the publisher's name on theoutside of the covers where it usually appears! That tract has since pasfed ihrough numberless editions in this country, and been translated and prinled in every language in Europe.
