Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center Bortman Collection Sermons ("Thursday Lectures") 1635-1748
NOTE ON BOUND SERMONS:. These are small, handwritten chapbooks of varying length (most are between thirty to sixty pages) containing sermons delivered primarily between 1670 and 1748. Items believed to have been written by Rev. Thomas Foxcroft (1697-1769) are annotated by a"**." ALL ITEMS ARE FRAGILE.
NOTE ON DATES: Dates without parenthesis give the "Historical Year;" dates within parenthesis give the "Legal Year," when given. Until 1752, two calendar systems were in use in England. The "Historical Year," corresponding with the calender system in use today, began on January I. The "Civil," or "Legal Year," began on March 25. Thus the "Civil" date 1658 March 24 corresponds with the "Historical" date March 24 1659. All dates in that portion of the year would have been recorded with the year as a fraction: for example, March 24, the last day of the English Legal Calendar, would have been written "March 24 1658/9, the top digit indicating the "Civil" year, the lower indicating the "Historical" year.
