Mens Sibi Conscia recti, 1760 February 22

Two-page handwritten composition in English signed "Jer'h Belknap Febry 22, 1760." The theme begins, "There is nothing in the world that can give a Man more secret pleasure and satisfaction than to be Conscious to himself of doing right. This is what is called Contentm't" and ends with two lines from Horace in Latin: "Hic murus aheneus esto," and "Nil Conscire sibi." A Latin version of the composition is available in Box 1, Folder 3.

From Dr. Watt's Philosophical Essays, undated

Three leaves containing handwritten extracts and notes on sections II and III of Isaac Watt's essay, "A fair inquiry and debate concerning space, whether it be something or nothing, God or Creature." A section of notes for a third essay is incomplete.

Short nomenclator or vocabular in English and Hebrew: composed alphabetically for the use and benefit of my pupils in particular and for the advantage of those who are desirous to obtain the knowledge of the Hebrew tongue in general, which may be that great help to understand not only ye sacred oracles in their original, but even any Jewish author (so far as concern owns) as also it may give great insight in ye tongue to those, as to compose it, a work altogether new, [ca. 1735]

Headed on the first page with the words "Nomenclatura hebraica," this handwritten volume is a vocabulary with the Hebrew word in the left column, and the English translation on the right. While the book is arranged in sections by letter, individual entries do not appear in strict alphabetical order. The small vocabulary varies greatly and includes entries like enigma, excommunication, and martyr, as well as cucumber and maggot. There are translations of the astrological signs at the end of the volume. Poem written at the bottom of the last page in different hand: "Women when good the best of saints/ that bright seraphick lovely/ she, who nothing of an angel/ wants but truth & immortality./ Verse 2: Who silken limbs & charming/ face. Keeps nature warm."
