MS.1972.005 comprises a collection of seven volumes written by Aldrich Swan (1645-1714). The online catalogue states that these volumes were later used by his son, Aldrich (1673-1749). However, the present cataloguer believes that the manuscripts were more likely to have been used by his younger son Francis (1677-1740), owing to the locations in which many of the sermons were later preached, although Aldrich the younger may also have owned vol. 3a.

'At Kington 1719' has been written on the opening flyleaf, and 'Kington 1719' has been written on the page facing p. 1 in this volume. As Aldrich Swan the younger (1673-1749) was rector at Kington Magna at this time, it is possible that he may have owned these sermons, along with his brother Francis. The bookplate of William Andrews Clark, Jr. can be found on the inside front cover of this volume.
'7 fols £100' has been written in pencil in a modern hand on one of the opening flyleaves.
