Excerpt from The First Century of German Printing in America, 1728-1830: Preceded by a Notice of the Literary Work of F. D. Pastorius
Some years have their distinctive literature responsive to the complexion of the times. In 1742 a turbulent wave of religious controversy arose around the towering figure of Count Zinzendorf. In 1748 and still more in 1764 political dissensions led to an animated pamphlet warfare, in which the Germans heartily participated. The Revolution, also, is re¿ected in several German publications, the most important of which is the pamphlet of 1775, authorized by the German churches and the German Society, in favor of armed resistance.
