Treatise by Joshua Belding [manuscript], 1807-1808.

Disjointed treatise, 1807-1808, by Joshua Belding, relying heavily on visionary revelation and Scripture, proposes programs for land distribution, fiscal reform, and the formation of a national bank; urges peace with England and the divestment of Freemason wealth; and includes a discussion of the Burr-Wilkinson Conspiracy. The treatise also includes abstracts of letters sent to Thomas Jefferson and James Sullivan, Governor of Massachusetts; and offers precise population figures for various planets and the moon. Includes copy of a letter by his wife, Anna Belding, attesting to her vocation.
