M 72

Journal for 15 July 1782: "On Saturday and Sunday I read a curious little Book called _A two years' Journal in New York_, written by C.W., A.M., who went out Chaplain to the Governour in 1678." JB also referred to this work in his note headed "Derrick" (M 76).

JB read Priestley's _Institutes of Religion_ 2d vol. 14 Apr 1782 and the 3d vol. 16-17 Apr 1782. On 7 July 1782 "I now collect I abstracted from Priestley's _Institutes of religion_" (writing 13 July).

I find no journal reference to Brydone's _Tour_; there is a page of notes on vol. 1 of Brydone in M 222.

See also M 225.2 (Commonplace Book).

The "Collection" was probably made about July 1782.
