Summary

Two volumes of philosophy lecture notes, citing classical authors, the Bible, and early modern philosophers such as René Descartes and John Locke, probably copied from a printed source in 1793. The first, completed 19 June 1793, has the caption title Logic Vol. 3d and contains lectures 71-121, and although the contents do refer to logic, they focus more on moral philosophy. The second, begun 19 June 1793, has the running title Metaphysics over its first five lectures and contains lectures 1-56.
