Relates how the trustees met and created a Professorship of Ecclesiastical History and Pastoral Theology, to which they appointed Stuart, Moses, ǂd 1780-1852 of Old South Church in Boston. The seminary faculty opposed the position because there was an urgent need for a Professorship of Biblical Rhetoric and thus the matter was referred to the Board of Visitors. Announces he and Stowe are planning to issue a Biblical Inquirer, with the hope that E. R. would assume responsibility for its publication when he returns from Europe. Mentions that Hodge has dropped publication of Biblical Repertory and has taken up a kind of religious magazine. In his discussion of books on geography, Stuart decries the lack of maps in them: "Above all, maps, maps, maps. I am beyond measure astonished that the Germans have not better maps for sacred geography. And this leads me to say what I have
greatly at heart, pursue your plan of Sacred Geography." The postscript lists books needed for the library.
1829, August 31 - Letter to Edward Robinson from Moses Stewart, requesting, among other things, that Robinson publish Stewart's Biblical Inquirer and continue to "pursue your plan of Sacred Geography."
