Edward Chipman Guild Papers, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
Edward Chipman Guild, son of Benjamin Guild and Eliza Eliot, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on February 29, 1832. The Guild family attended the Federal Street Church of Boston, a Unitarian church of William Ellery Channing, the foremost Unitarian preacher in the United States and one of Unitarianism's leading theologians. Attendee of the Andover Theological Seminary and an 1857 graduate of the Harvard Divinity School, Guild was ordained on September 25, 1859.
Guild served as a pastor in Marietta, Ohio (1859-1860); Canton, Massachusetts (1861-1866); Ithaca, New York (1866-1868); Northboro, Massachusetts (1868-1869); Baltimore, Maryland (1869-1871); and Waltham, Massachusetts (1873-1880), where he gave a lecture series on Lyrical Poetry at the Lowell Institute. Resettling after four years spent in Germany, Guild became pastor at the Unitarian Church in Brunswick, Maine for nearly ten years (1884-1893).
A lecturer on English and American literature, Guild preseted Sunday evening lectures at Bowdoin College and occasionally taught in the English Department. His scholarly interests ranged from literature and poetry to Icelandic languages. Guild was held in high esteem in Brunswick and was honored by the Pejepscot Historical Society and the Bowdoin College Library. Guild was called to preach in Pembroke (1895-1896), Barnstable (1898-1899), and finally in Pittsfield, Massachusetts until his death on November 6, 1899.
The bulk of the collection consists of approximately 450 sermons dated from 1859-1891, the Lowell Institute lectures, and class and lecture notes on English literature from 1885-1899. Also included are Guild's notes on German dialects and Icelandic languages and a few pieces of correspondence.
This series contains letters received by Guild between June 15, 1893, and September 25, 1895, from three Manitoba ministers. Most reflect Guild's interest in the Icelandic language.
