TitleGeorge Curwen Papers, Sermons 1700-1717, Vol. 1
ShelfmarkMSS 45 Series III.
Creation Date1700 - 1717
RepositoryPhillips Library, Peabody Essex Museum
Contents NoteA collection of autograph sermons preached in Cambridge in 1700-1. The sermons were delivered at the request of certain figures, including William Brattle, Jabez Fitch and Rev. Mather (may have been Increase or Cotton Mather). Each sermon notes the person who requested it.
Material FeaturesBound in cream vellum, stitched at the top. Presumably in Curwen's own hand. Each page has ruled boarders and margins. The volume opens with an index, giving "Person", "place", "time" and the verse and page the sermons begin on. Curwen makes use of old style dating, which means that 1 May is sometimes written as 1/3.
