A wonderful Princeton Revival artifact, belonging to then student, James V. Henry [1798-1873]. He would later pastor Sing Sing Presbyterian Church [1832-1841] served as an Agent of the Presbyterian Board of Education, tasked with raising subscriptions to help sustain Princeton's theological department. Following Sing Sing, he would serve also as pastor at Ossining and Ithaca.
As a student, he was one of the student body leaders of the revival at the College of New Jersey [Princeton] of 1815, along with his dear friend, the young Charles Hodge. See An Historical Account of the First Presbyterian Church of Princeton by William Edward Schenck [1850], pp.57-62. The book recounts the revival as a precious season of peculiarly tender and deep interest in the things of God.
Since these date to Henry's time as a student, they must be from somewhere between 1814-1817.
His extensive notes from attendance upon the lectures of Samuel Miller and Archibald Alexander, as follows:

Sacred Chronology, by Samuel Miller. 19pp.

The volume itself fair, heavily worn with losses; some dampstaining, etc. but textually generally solid, complete, and the text highly legible.
