Abstract
F-5 1829, Aug. 31 Letter to E. R. from Moses Stuart in Andover. 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.
Note

Abstract
C-4 1822, April 9 Letter to E. R. in Andover [?] from his uncle, Asahel S. Norton in Clinton. Apparently E. R. had sent him a "specimen" of his Homer which his uncle found very acceptable. Mentions that the faculty of Hamilton College "considered to introduce it" and thus several copies of it should be sent to Utica. E. R.'s plan for a trip to Europe also meets with his uncle's approval. Norton then gives him some local news: the college is planning to erect North Hall; Nancy Bristoll married Mr. Platt of Plattsburgh.
