Thomas Nowell sermon, correspondence, and related material
Manuscripts
Correspondence and manuscripts regarding the controversy over Thomas Nowell's 1772 Charles I remembrance sermon before the House of Commons, bound together with the printed sermon. Letters to Nowell are from W. (presumably Walter) King and Dr. (presumably James) King, the sermon's printer Henry Hughs, Lord Lichfield, Thomas Fitzmaurice, the Rev. Richard Scrope, and others; letters are both in support of and in opposition to Nowell's sermon. In addition, there are two copies of Thomas Nowell letters to unidentified recipients. Also present in the volume are a manuscript vote of thanks for Nowell's sermon from the House of Commons with an order to print, January 31, 1772; and manuscript extracts from a letter of Edward Gibbon and from the Annual Register regarding the sermon. The front of the volume contains a manuscript table of contents and provenance note, the bulk of which was most likely written in the late 19th century with a note added after 1916 at the end.

Thomas Adams papers
Manuscripts
The collection is made up of account books, notes, articles of agreement, and correspondence. The three account books include a postage posted volume and two cash account books (1764-1766). The three articles of agreement are drafts of agreements regarding land in Blanchland and Hexham (1772). Also included are 15 notes kept by Thomas Adams regarding his two favorite dogs: William the Lion and Sancho (1792-1806). There are ninety pieces of correspondence (1793-1795) between Thomas Adams, George Wood, Clayton & Walters, Kirton & Grey, Edward Blonk and Robert Hopper Williamson. The correspondence deals with the possible enclosure of Allendale and Hexhamshire Commons. The Crewe Trust (Adams was their lawyer, George Wood was their agent) was disputing this action and wanted to make sure they did not lose out when the lands were enclosed. Many of the letters deal with the attempt to bring all the parties together to discuss the subject, but to no avail. The correspondence includes the letters received by Adams, as well as kept drafts of his replies.

Welsh Protestant's sermons preached in Northern Ireland: manuscript volume
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.
