The correspondence of the Puritan divine Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
is an unusually rich source of evidence for seventeenth-century
history, in particular for the period's involved ecclesiastical
history and its intellectual, cultural, and bibliographical tastes,
as well as for Baxter himself. The 1250 or so extant letters,
spanning 1638-1696 and varying in length from brief notes to
mini-treatises, are exchanged with a very wide range of
correspondents and touch on a great variety of topics, from
pastoral advice and theological controversy to current political
affairs and legislation. The great majority of the letters, often
undated and unattributed, have never been published. The present
Calendar makes the substance of the correspondence fully available
for the first time. The chronological sequence of the letters is
established, correspondents are identified with full biographical
information, and the occasional and essential subject of every
letter is indicated. In the great majority of cases detailed
summaries are given, often with extensive quotation verbatim; and
all persons, books, and other matters of fact mentioned in the
letters are glossed and annotated. There are also indexes of
persons, of places, and of Baxter's works. In the course of
annotation and contextualization, the Calendar frequently corrects
or expands standard reference works, while the letters themselves
often supply previously unknown information about the period.
