Papers, 1774-1818, 1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207128518

This collection of manuscripts contains personal letters, an essay, poetry, and legal documents generated by members of the Cranch family, mostly in America. The correspondence is primarily between Elizabeth Cranch Norton (1763-1811), daughter of Richard Cranch, and her cousin, Elizabeth Palmer Cranch. These letters are always personal and frequently discuss travel plans and family matters. A few legal documents are of Richard Cranch (1726-1811) and deal with the purchase of stock in Massachusetts. There is an essay written by John Cranch (1751-1821) of Bath, England, "An Account of Antique Remains found in the city, suburbs, & vicinity of Bath since the year 1814...." This was presented at the American Antiquarian Society in 1818 after Cranch's election as a member. Finally, this collection includes two poems and a note written by Christopher Pearse Cranch (1813-1892).
