Description
The collection includes manuscript sermons, 1831-1856, preached at First Presbyterian Church (Savannah, Ga.) and other locations including the following Georgia locations: Montevideo, Maybank, Arcadia, Sunbury, and Midway. Other locations include "P. Grove," which is thought to be an abbreviation for "Pleasant Grove" in Georgia. The collection also includes an undated "charge" to newly ordained bishops; a booklet of handwritten notes taken by an unidentified individual and titled "lectures on the Religious Instruction of the Blacks by Prof. C. C. Jones, Columbia, S.C., May 22, 1838"; and three published booklets. Two of the booklets were authored by Jones: "Address to the senior class in the Theological Seminary of the Synod of South Carolina and Georgia . . .," dated 1837 and "The glory of woman is the fear of the Lord," undated. The third publication is "A mother's legacy to her only daughter" by "Cornelia," dated 1856.
