| Resumo |
This leather-bound volume contains excerpts copied by Benjamin Penhallow from books he read while he was a student at Harvard in the 1720s. The volume contains extracts from two texts: Johanis Henrici Alstedii's (John Henry Alsted / Johann Heinrich Alsted) Geometria Domini, and the anonymous text "The Legacy of a dying Father; bequeath'd to his Beloved Children, or Sundry Directions in Order unto a well Regulated Conversation," from 1724 (originally published in 1693-4). The last page of text in the volume contains the hymn "The Sacred Content of Praise" first published in 1734, and added after Penhallow's death. Title supplied by cataloger. Received in the Harvard College Library as a gift of Anna F. Dakin and with the William C. Lane Fund. Benjamin Penhallow was born in Portsmouth, N.H. on December 17, 1704. He graduated from Harvard in 1723, and according to Nicholas Gilman (Harvard AB 1724), Penhallow died of smallpox in 1725. |
