The author of this work, Noah Worcester (1758-1837), was a "Unitarian clergyman and a seminal figure in history of American pacifism. Although active in Unitarian theological controversies of the day, Worcester is best remembered as a pioneer in the American peace movement. In December 1814, he published A Solemn Review of the Custom of War (under the pen-name Philo Pacificus), still considered one of the best pieces of anti-war literature ever committed to print, and as relevant today as then."
