Notes

A sammelband of heterogeneous material assembled by Rev. Robert Drummond, including an almost-unrecorded issue of the articles of a Belfast annuity fund. ESTC records 4 copies of an identically-paginated book 'The Charter-Party: or, articles of agreement of the Belfast Annuity Company', 2 of which are at the Linen Hall Library, Belfast. Consultation with their holdings reveals one copy with the ESTC wording on the title-page and one with the title-page as here, but with otherwise-identical contents.
John Russel's sermon was popular enough to reach a second edition the following year, but both are now scarce, with this first printing recorded in 5 institutions in ESTC, while Colquhoun's Christian Union has 14 records. Despite the title promising three parts, and the subtitle claiming this issue was parts one and two, no further parts appear to have followed.
