This book is a historical account of the Old South Church in Boston, with an emphasis on its first century and the completion of its current building. The author, Benjamin Blydenburg Wisner, was the pastor of the church at the time of its centennial celebration in 1830, and his sermons from that occasion are included in this book. The text provides insights into the church's role in the history of Boston and the broader New England area, as well as the religious and ideological currents of the time.
