Title |
Episcopal Clergy Manuscripts Collection, 1765-1867 (inclusive). |
Physical Description |
1 box .21 linear ft. |
Description |
The Episcopal Clergy Manuscripts Collection primarily contains letters written by ordained leaders of the Episcopal Church
to their peers. Nearly all of the authors of the letters and documents were then, or became, bishops in the church. Some letters
hold notable content, while others simply ask for, or reply to, a request. Several of the correspondents wrote from or of
the American Midwest, chiefly Ohio, and describe conditions in their dioceses, churches, and communities. Most of the letters
are unrelated to each other and were most likely acquired for their signatures. The collection also holds two eighteenth-century
autograph manuscript sermons by Rev. Edward Bass (1726-1803), the rector of St. Paul's Church in Newburyport, MA.
|
Notes |
The Library Company's Print Department holds portraits of American clergymen, both in prints and photographs. The John A.
McAllister Papers (McA MSS 001) contain several letters to McAllister from clergymen of all denominations, including Episcopal.
