Associated Peoplemanuscript owner - Inwin, Wm. [presumably William]manuscript owner? - Carlton, William
ProvenanceThe name 'Wm. Inwin.' is written on the back end paper. About 40 items from the Carlton Shorthand Collection formerly belonged to the stenographer James Henry Lewis (1786-1853).
AcquisitionThe Carlton Shorthand Collection is one of the most comprehensive shorthand collections known, with an estimated 18,000 books, periodicals, and pamphlets on all aspects of stenography, many thought to be unique. The collection was largely put together by William J. Carlton (1886-1973), author of Charles Dickens, Shorthand Writer (London, 1926). The collection was primarily bequeathed by Carlton, with some later donations from the shorthand teacher, Peter Dorey.

Other NoteSermons preached after 1715, in addition to undated sermons, have not been catalogued in this database. Owing to the unidentified system of shorthand, the sermons in shorthand have also not been catalogued. It is possible that the sermons were preached in Cheshire. The anonymous scribe has written 'Great Budworth [Cheshire], April 8th 1766' at the end of the last sermon in the 'longhand' section.
