System of arrangement
The collection consists of manuscript sermons arranged under the date of first delivery (several were repeated), and are in two sets.
(1) The first set consists of 48 sermons. It is unclear how these came to the College.
(2) the second set of approximately 100 sermons were presented to the College by the literary executor for the Kingsley family estate.
As the sermons were made in two seperate deposits it has been decided to catalogue them seperately.
