The published and unpublished Anglican sermons of John Henry Newman : Prolegomena to an Edition

File consists of a photocopy of Pett's thesis, "The published and unpublished Anglican sermons of John Henry Newman : Prolegomena to an Edition". Originally stored in three boxes, the thesis includes two or three copies of each page, although pages 2, 26, 47, 87, 114, 137, 155, 183, 214, 255, 270, 359, appear to be missing. This may be an error in pagination.

A handlist of Newman's Anglican sermons and related manuscripts, volume II

File consists of a bound ledger containing handwritten reference lists and bibliographic descriptions of sermons by John Henry Newman and related published and archival material relevant to Pett's research. This appears to have been a continuation of Pett's notes from a previous ledger "A Handlist of Newman's Anglican Sermons and Related Manuscripts", as it continues the previous volume's pagination.
