http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259514

The collection consists of forty-four sermons, written from 1844 to 1881, which contain Marvin's views of important people and contemporary events. There are several lengthy sermons containing strong abolitionist views on the admission of Texas as a slave state, the Fugitive Slave laws, the Bible on Slavery, and slavery in general. The Rev. Marvin also spoke extensively on such subjects as the lives of John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) and George Washington (1732-1799), the history of Revivalism in America, the Roman Catholic Church, Calvinism, the Pilgrim Fathers, witchcraft and sorcery, the U.S. as a "melting pot" (with detailed statistics), temperance, year-end historic reviews, and the Election of 1860. Of special interest are many sermons delivered during the Civil War with extensive comments on the Secession Crisis of 1861, land and naval battles (with newsclippings), the origins of this "Rebellion against God," the plight of the young soldiers, lessons from the war, and Lincoln's assassination.
