The Friend of Peace, Volume 4, authored by Noah Worcester and the Massachusetts Peace Society, presents a compelling discourse on pacifism and the moral imperative for peace. Originally published in 1827, this volume continues the series' exploration of the societal benefits of non-violence and the ethical costs of war. Worcester's articulate arguments, rooted in religious and philosophical principles, challenge the prevailing attitudes toward conflict and advocate for reasoned solutions to international disputes.
