A volume containing accounts of the proceedings of the General Assembly of Baptist Churches. Handwritten accounts are included for the years 1730 (held at Glashouse Yard, London), 1732-1733 (at White's Alley, London) and 1746-1747, 1749-1770 (at Samuel Fry's Meeting-house in Horsely Down, Southwark); together with printed accounts of proceedings for 1771-1785 and 1787.
