Encloses a collection of sermons by Rev. Richard Price that shaped Pickering's faith. Over forty years ago Pickering renounced the "Calvanistic scheme" in which he had been educated as "utterly incompatible with the perfections of the Deity." Price's sermons gave Pickering the concept of the Trinity which he now embraces.
