[Tennessee]: [Episcopal Church]:

$3,000 · Offered by William Reese Company

[A SIGNIFICANT RUN OF ANNUAL CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS FOR THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN TENNESSEE, CONSISTING OF FORTY REPORTS PRINTED BETWEEN 1832 AND 1877]. An extensive and impressive run of journals reporting on the proceedings of the annual Episcopal Church conventions in Tennessee. The Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee was founded in 1829 at a Nashville meeting of three clergy, six laymen, and the Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina, John Ravenscroft, and the resulting organization immediately began to publish reports of their annual meetings. In the time span covered by this collection, this run lacks only two antebellum issues and those printed during the Civil War. The only institutions with holdings approaching the coverage of this period provided by this present run of imprints are the University of the South, the University of Tennessee, Louisiana State, and Yale.
