Triennial Catalogue annotated by Nicholas Gilman, 1737.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/653463759

The collection holds a 1733 copy of the Harvard Triennial Catalogue that Gilman pasted into a bound volume and annotated with additional alumni biographical data in 1737. The catalogue was used by Harvard Librarian John Langdon Sibley in the mid-19th century as a resource for the 18-volume series Biographical Sketches of Graduates of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1642-1774 (Cambridge: Charles William Sever, 1873). In his preface to the work, Sibley did note that Gilman's entries, "are very brief, and not always correct; but of some graduates they furnish the only information which has been found" (p. iv).
