August, 1817

Here we have the last entries in Volume H.

Gallison devotes the first half of this month’s writing to William Ellery Channing’s sermons.   Topics ranged from the nature of Christ to the religious education of children.  At the end of the volume comes one of Gallison’s more successful efforts at an index—better described, perhaps, as a chronological list of topics.

We don’t have his journal entries for the following twelve months, as Volumes I and J seem to have vanished.  If anyone knows where they (and Volume C) might be, please pass the word!
