“[Sermons on Various Occasions by the Rev. Paul Turquand, Rector of St. Mathews
Parish, Volume I.]” [1766-1786] [Acc. No. 1665]
Repository: South Carolina Historical Society, Charleston, SC
Commentary: This is one of three manuscript volumes (see accession numbers
1665, 1688, and 1714). Volume I contains twenty-two sermons. The volumes
originally had bookplates entitled “Library of Augustine T. Smythe, Charleston,
S. C.” and were given the title “Sermons on Various Occasions by the Rev. Paul
Turquand, Rector of St. Mathews Parish.” The damage to the manuscripts at the
gutter and margin of the sermons does not usually prevent a clear reading of the
text. Only a few words tend to be conjecturable unless otherwise noted. Sections
