Papers, ca. 1864-1915.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/12887886

The papers of this Unitarian minister consist principally of manuscript sermons (topics: Unitarianism, the life of Jesus, Christian education for the young, etc.) and researches into historical subjects: ancient Greece and the Greek philosophers, John Eliot and Christian sects (Mormons, Quakers, et al.). Biographical sketches (some in the form of eulogies) include those for Anne Hutchinson, James Freeman Clarke, Andrew Preston Peabody, Horace Mann, Joseph Priestly and Thomas Jefferson. Some items of a personal nature are to be found, especially a group of curiously passionate letters from his niece, Mary. The collection is only partially organized.
