The correspondence of the Puritan divine Richard Baxter is an
unusually rich source of evidence for 17th 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 1638-1691
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 afffairs 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 letters is established, correspondents
are identified with full biographical information, and the occasion
and essential subject of every letter 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.
