history of the times and of the denomination,and may be of interest to 
a library that deals specially with the subjects. It has occurred to me 
that possibly the library of Brown,in some sense a Baptist institution, 
might be willing to purchase,at a low price,of course,such books;would 
you be willing to speak to the proper authority,and see if there is any 
likelihood of such a thingi 
Among other things there is a set from 1839 to lS53>practically complete, 
in bound volumes,of the Religious weekly,The Christian Reflector,in the 
later years consolidated with the Christian Watchman as the Christian 
Watchman’and Reflector. I understand that the Newton Theological Semin¬ 
ary has a full set,or it would buy this. 
If there were a prospect of any trade,! would make out a rough list of 
the books in question;they date mostly between 1S20 and 1 S 60 . 
I hope I am not making myself an utter nuisancejif I ever have a chance 
to do you a favor of the sort,you can command me to any extent. 
Very Truly,
