Manuscripts
A fragment from a longer manuscript, possibly from Le Vieux Cordelier, number seven; the two-page autograph manuscript concerns the freedom of the press. In the upper left corner is the number 13 and directly below is an autograph note in another hand dated 1865; the two pages are heavily corrected and lined through, though the text remains legible on both pages. The accompanying material, all in French, includes a catalogue description, a partial transcription, and further information about the sale of the manuscript.

Manuscripts
These sermons appear to have been copied from the manuscripts of Thomas Jones in 1690 by a clergyman preaching in Coleraine in Northern Ireland. The final leaf bears dates for "preaching at Coleraine" by both the copyist and "Mr Boyd of Loghgells" [i.e.Loughguile], perhaps William Boyd (d. 1772), rector of Ramoan.

Incipit: Alla Serenissima Madama Mia Signora, Sogliono le belle donne con vaghezza rimirare o statua o pittura ove alcuna somiglianza loro si veda espressa, e le giovani particolarmente di vagheggiarsi ne lo specchio e di vedersi ritratte et effigiate hanno vaghezza. Explicit: con queste possono esser accompagnate, ne possono infami o dishonorate in alcun modo esser giudicate, perche l'in//. Italian. The text ends abruptly, on p. 212, line 12 of the Guasti edition. On f. 7r-v, the missing portion of the text is supplied from the 1738 Venice edition. C. Guasti, ed., Le Prose Diverse di Torquato Tasso (Florence 1875) 2:201-14, this manuscript cited on pp. 169-70 with some of its variant readings quoted from the plate in the Libri sale catalogue (see below), as Guasti did not know the location of the manuscript.
