Queries, [1798 June]

One octavo-sized leaf containing handwritten questions in the hand of Professor Pearson regarding the taxation of real estate in Cambridge. A note on the document verso: "Allen 2nd June 11th 1798" indicates Pearson used a student's assignment paper and the date suggests the queries may have been created in preparation for the June 20, 1798 meeting with the Committee of the Town of Cambridge.

Miscellaneous questions, [1794]

One leaf containing a handwritten draft of queries about the salaries of Professors later incorporated into a 1794 memorial signed by Professors Pearson, Webber, and Tappan and presented to a joint Board of Overseers and Corporation Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the College Treasury.
