About this Item
Description:
Twelve volumes. [40]; [32]; [32]; [36]; [34]; [36]; [38]; [32]; [34]; [40]; [40]; [32]pp. Approximately 54,000 words in total. Oblong octavo. Plain paper wrappers, handstitched, manuscript title on front wrappers. Faint old vertical fold to center of each volume; occasional light soiling and chipping and even tanning to wrappers. Internally quite clean. Very good. In a red and green slipcase. A working manuscript draft of an in-depth series of catechetical lectures explicating the Apostles' Creed for new believers, by an unidentified Episcopal minister, likely in the Upper Midwest. The denomination was determined by the author's references to the Articles of Religion and the writings of contemporary Episcopal bishops. Each volume was bound as a pamphlet, presumably by the author, each with a manuscript title and description of the part of the Creed to be discussed on the front wrapper. The hand is clear and the text is heavily annotated, with numerous corrections and edits, as well as parts of, or even whole pages, pasted over with new text. It is very reasonable to assume these lectures were compiled by the rector or a senior lay person at the church for a confirmation class or adult education program; the language would demand at least an adolescent's comprehension level. This draft does not appear to have ever been published. Although the author never signs their name, the end of each volume is dated, starting with November 30, 1851 in volume one and ending with May 16, 1852 in volume twelve. Most volumes have the location of "Marquette" added next to the date. Although not identified explicitly, this is possibly Marquette, Michigan, founded in conjunction with Marquette Iron Company activity in the region. Episcopalian settlers there began holding services aboard the steamship Planet in Marquette Harbor on Lake Superior in the 1840s. St. Paul's Episcopal Church was founded soon after, though construction on the church itself was not completed until 1857. The Episcopal Diocese of Michigan was organized in 1832 and grew rapidly. In the 1840s and 1850s there were a number of missions to the lumber regions of the Saginaw Valley and the mining regions of the Upper Peninsula; by 1895 the Upper Peninsula became the Diocese of Marquette (later renamed Diocese of Northern Michigan). An important example of the sophistication of Christian education in the Old Northwest. Seller Inventory # WRCAM56798
