Mather [*2348.31; **2348.16]. Samuel Sewall in his Letter-book, vol. 2, p. 264 [*2351.1.Ser.6.2; **4453.45.- Ser.6.2] in a letter of March 6, 1728/9 to Samuel Mather, says, “ I thank you for the favourable mention you make of me in your edition of your father’s life.” P. 88 of the Memoirs contains an advertisement of A vindi- cation of the Holy Bible, by Samuel Mather. Sewall’s statement and the advertisement seem to point to Samuel Mather as the author of the Memoirs. The Epitaphium is omitted. Pages 86-88 contain a list of Increase Mather’s works. The portrait is missing from the copy on shelf-number **G.376.23. [The second and third copies are kept on the Special Libraries Floor.]
