Presbyterian:

Smith, Reverend Alexander . ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT RECORD BOOK
c. 1880. Notebook with paper covered boards and leather spine. Record book of Rev. Smith, a Presbyterian Minister living in Paterson, New Jersey. Much on history of Presbyterians in Paterson; the longest section is a lengthy list of the 1278 books in his library; a short autobiography; recipes for sasparilla, cures for croup, lock jaw etc., facts about history and current world situation, detailed notes on some books he read, long list of Paterson marriages and more. Entry dates extend from 1867 to July 1901. Rev. Smith mentions that he was born in Derry, Ireland, August 22 1831; that he was ordained in 1866; took over as Pastor of Presbyterian Church in Paterson in late 1877. Rev. Smith's information on the Paterson Church and his appointment is confirmed in the book: History of Bergen and Passaic Counties, New Jersey by William Nelson (see pp. 494-498). Octavo, 104pp. (a few pages are blank). Good, writing quite legible, spine is mostly cracked through and boards are quite worn, becoming disbound. Still much interesting information - especially the library list and view into the mind, interests and concerns of a 19th century American minister. (a77961)
