A volume of sermons, marked with dates and what appears to be a system of initials - possibly some sort of reminder? Examples: "E.F.I. [?] April 24th -1853/Nov. 13th ..53" [p. 158 Sermon title "The value of the soul"]; "V.G. F.I. [?] Sept. 15th 1850/ Feby 27th 1853/ July 8th 1855" [Sermon title "The Lord's Prayer"]; "V.G.F.I. Augt 20th [?] 1854 F...[?]" [Sermon title "The lamb of god beheld by faith"]. In addition, passages of text are sometimes deleted or marked up. Examples: p. 159 the quote is scored through; On the first page of "The Lord's prayer", the sentence in para 2 "Not that we are tied down ..." has half square brackets around it.
