Nashville; Columbia, Tn.; Clarksville, Tn, 1832-1835; 1837-1841; 1843-1860; 1866-1877.. Forty imprints, various paginations. Stitched, as issued; many in original printed wrappers. The final ten imprints bound in 20th-century red buckram. Contemporary ownership inscriptions and scattered other annotations to several volumes. Occasional chips and a few closed tears. Overall, very good. An extensive and impressive run of journals reporting on the proceedings of the annual Episcopal Church conventions in Tennessee. The Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee was founded in 1829 at a Nashville meeting of three clergy, six laymen, and the Episcopal Bishop of North Carolina, John Ravenscroft, and the resulting organization immediately began to publish reports of their annual meetings. In the time span covered by this collection, this run lacks only two antebellum issues and those printed during the Civil War. The only institutions with holdings approaching the coverage of this period provided by this present run of imprints are the University of the South, the University of Tennessee, Louisiana State, and Yale.
