Samuel Seabury papers, 1784-1884.

Five manuscripts pertain to Bishop Seabury: his certificates of ordination for the Reverend William Duke as deacon and priest, 1785; his signature to Bishop Thomas John Claggett's certificate of consecration as Bishop of Maryland, 1792; and two letters to Bishop Claggett, 1793 and 1794, concerning several clergymen, including William Green and Walter C. Gardiner. Most of the remaining items are references to Seabury by others: defense of the validity of his consecration, posthumous publication of his sermons; Bishop Horatio Southgate's publication in Constantinople of an Armenian translation of Seabury's sermon on Christian unity (1845-1846); Seabury's views on confirmation; praise for his sound theology; and the use of Seabury's concordat with the Scottish Church as a model for agreement between the Episcopal Church and the Church of Jesus in Mexico, 1879.
