Material FeaturesWritten in a variety of hands, several different booklets bound together in a brown leather binding. Several of the sermons appear to have had pages inserted before them with dates written on in one very rough hand, perhaps suggesting that these sermons were collected and re-preached by another preacher. Some of them have been given numbers that do not correlate with their position in this volume.
