Shelfmark
P82/ALB/138
Creation Date
ca. 1700 - 1799
Repository
London Metropolitan Archives
Contents Note

Full sermons, without biblical texts or preaching information. Difficult to tell at points where sermons begin and end; the preacher has broken it up in the table of contents, but the contents can be read coherently and continuously. The material on pp. 368-376, entitled "Maxims of Prudence in the Oeconomy of Human Life," does not appear to be a sermon but rather a list of maxims.

Material Features

Soft leather binding, probably original. Table of contents pasted down on front board and continued on backboard (contents listed only from p. 104). Same extremely neat, large hand. Paginated. 376 pages.

Other Note

This sermon book comes from the repository of materials belonging to St Alban the Martyr, Holborn, Brooke St, Camden. This church was constructed in 1863, so the sermon volume cannot be the work of one of its clergymen. It may have been authored by a preacher within the ancient parish of St Andrew Holborn, which fractured into smaller parishes in the 18th century.
