RICHARD WHATELY
(1787-1863) English rhetorician, logician, economist, and theologian who also served as the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin. A.Ms. (unsigned) 1p. 4to., [n.p., n.d.], a sheet from a sermon, in part: "...And this, comparatively inconspicuous but important branch of ministerial duty, belongs, most especially to what may be called the Parochial System of our Church. If public preaching, & the administering of the Sacrd were all that was needed, there wd be no necessity for dividing any such district as we call a Christian country into Parishes...But our Church...has felt...the need of something besides this..." and more. Tipped to an album page with docket in another hand indicating that this was one of Whateley's last sermons delivered, very good.

Estimate: $200 - 300.
