Description: Scope/Content: Manuscript. Several sections of the text dated between June and July, 1679.
Scope/Content: Late 17th century volume possibly composed by future Church of England minister, Robert Meeke, while attending Richard Frankland's academy. Meeke's ex libris inscriptions are in the same hand as the majority of the text and the contents of the volume are in line with the curriculum taught by Frankland. In addition to several copies of letters on theological issues probably written by Frankland (some of them are signed "R.F."), the volume contains items on theology, philosophy and the works of Adrian Heereboord. Though John Downes connection to Meeke is unclear, there was a Samuel Leech who also attended Frankland's academy and who is also mentioned in Meeke's diaries, published in 1874.
