Papers, 1847-1916; (bulk 1859-1901).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19491108

Correspondence, scrapbooks, biographical material, notes, lectures, literary manuscripts, sermons, drafts, poems, hymns, speeches, printed matter, and clippings. Most material dates from 1859-1901, and covers Cook's career as a lecturer on current topics, religion, theology, ethics, temperance, prohibition, and other subjects. Also, manuscripts of Cook's Preludes, the Monday lectures delivered at the Tremont Temple, Boston, and addresses before students at colleges and seminaries. Some papers reflect the theological controversies of the late 19th century, and the disputes over the relation of evolution and other scientific subjects to traditional religion. Includes a summary of Cook's life and work, 1874-1884, an account of Nathaniel S. Shaler's views on Darwin's theories, and a largely complete unpublished biography of Cook by his wife. Among the correspondents are ministers, professors, and heads of colleges and universities.
