http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61694607

Three volumes (1813-1821) are used to record the subjects of Sunday sermons and those who preached them, Unitarian ministers such as Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham, John Gorham Palfrey, and Henry Ware, Jr., but principally William Ellery Channing, pastor of the Federal Street Church in Boston. One notebook, dated 1814, contains mathematic calculations. Another contains notes of her studies in astronomy (1814), and a a few years later, of two courses of study taught by "Mr. [Edward?] Everett" and a Dr. [Jacob?] Bigelow, as well as sermons by Channing. She also uses this 5th volume as a diary where she records her feelings on the death of a female friend, the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill (with Lafayette present), and visits with her father to New Bedford, Cape Cod, and Niagara Falls.
