Sermons and Notes on Sermons, undated

The papers consist of Norton's manuscript sermons and notes plus some occasional addresses of his, 1883‑91 and undated.  Of main interest are his notes.  They were taken upon Charles Finney's lectures on pastoral theology and on his Thursday Lectures, c.1858‑61; on Professor Horatio B. Hackett's lectures at Newton Theological Seminary, 1855; and at Andover Theological Seminary on Professor E.A. Park's lectures, 1856‑57; and on Professor Austin Phelps' lectures, 1857‑58.  Also included are three letters written in 1887 to young people by Minerva B. (Mrs. Smith) Norton describing her travels in Germany and Sweden.
