[QUOTE="Mixdenny, post: 3859509, member: 6981"]"The Theological Works of the Reverend Mr Charles Leslie." I only have the first volume, 800 pages of ranting about all the other religions. The front cover is loose but the basic book is in pretty good shape for being from 1721. I do need to get it conserved. It's been passed down in my family. Probably from Rev Daniel McDonald who co-founded the Geneva Academy with Bishop Hobart. The academy became Hobart College (now combined with William Smith) [ATTACH=full]319436[/ATTACH] and Daniel was the first Latin professor. What do you do with a 300 year old book? I don't think anyone younger then me in the family is interesting. It doesn't have much value. But you can't throw out a book that made it this far. Perhaps the College might want it.[/QUOTE]
