first edition, octavo, 48 page pamphlet, retains front wrapper, removed from bound pamphlet volume, front wrapper somewhat dust-soiled, text clean, else good.
The pamphlet concerns a notorious scandal of the day in which Fairchild was accused of immoral conduct after seducing and impregnating a domestic servant. The woman gave birth to the child and named Fairchild as the father and ecclesiastical trials and proceedings ensued, Fairchild's response, seemingly typical in such situations, was to accuse others, in this case Rev. Adams, of libeling him.

Besides all that, my partner in business, Mr. Barrett, who owned the New England Farmer, of which I am the Editor, was soon taken sick, and died in about a fortnight … I have also been confined for a fortnight past nearly all the time to my chamber, by a complaint in my head.
