Alexander Hamilton Sermon Eulogy Delivered by Pastor Eliphalet Nott Just 15-Days After Hamilton Died of Gunshot Wounds Received in a Duel with Vice President Aaron Burr
(ALEXANDER HAMILTON). Sermon Eulogy Delivered by Pastor Eliphalet Nott 15 Days After Alexander Hamilton Died of Gunshot Wounds Received in a Duel with Vice President Aaron Burr.
September 1804-Dated Federal Period Printed Pamphlet titled, "A Discourse Delivered in the North Dutch Church, In The City of Albany, Occasioned By The Ever To Be Lamented Death Of General Alexander Hamilton, July 29, 1804. By Eliphalet Nott, A.M., Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Said City.", 31-pages Complete, disbound, strong original stitched binding, Very Fine. This historic Alexander Hamilton eulogy imprint measures 8.5" x 5" with light even tone and moderate foxing throughout, yet well printed with dark black typeset.
Pastor Nott's passionate words were delivered in his Albany Presbyterian Church on July 29, 1804, likely the Church of Hamilton's wife's Schuyler family members. Hamilton was not considered a regular churchgoer, but he attended and was a Deacon of the Trinity Congregational Church while he was in NYC. He likely also attended Nott's Presbyterian Church in Albany on occasion with his wife's family. In addition one of the greatest and lasting influences on Hamilton's life was itinerant Presbyterian Minister Hugh Knox, who became Hamilton's personal tutor in his youth and in whose library the intellectually curious Hamilton found an eclectic book collection of historians, geographers, and literary giants from which Hamilton acquired a superb classical education.
In his sermon Pastor Nott railed against the practice of dueling that, to him, needlessly took such a promising life, chief architect of the new nation, from this earth in the middle of his most promising years. The pamphlet's original ownership is marked in ink, "B. Tappan", a prominent Albany businessman on the upper right corner
Eulogies mourning Hamilton occurred across the country but this one is interesting for its family and religious connections - perhaps a nice complimentary ending point for any Alexander Hamilton collection. Very scarce.
