Job Durfee stating that the Roger Williams Church Corporation will attempt to raise funds because of "having had a debt standing against them for some time." To raise funds they "have adopted the following method.to give a course of Scientific lectures to be delivered in the house in the western margin of the city.called Christian Hill."

He was the author of a number of books including a biography The Spirit of Roger Williams: with a Portrait of One of His Descendants. There is evidence that he was installed as pastor in the Roger Williams Baptist Church Society in 1827 cf. Cheney Rev. Martin. A sermon delivered at the installation of the Rev. Lorenzo D. Johnson as Pastor of the Roger Williams Baptist Church Society in Providence Oct. 25 1827 although this is interesting since his biographers call him a Methodist. This church united with the Quakers in 1837. After traveling in Europe he was in the clerical employ of the Government from about 1851 until the second battle of Bull Run and there being an urgent need for assistance for the wounded he went to the front and from that time to the close of the war devoted himself to the care of the sick and wounded in and about Washington.

Scarce first edition of Lorenzo Gambaras devotional treatise the Rerum sacrarum liber published by Plantin in Antwerp in 1577. Plentiful in sacred iconography Gambaras book was known for its beautiful art history images depicting classic Christological scenes visions saints and parables all after the drawings of Bernadino Passeri. Lorenzo Gambara born in Brescia studied arts and letters at the University of Padua. While he was still young he moved to Rome where he was linked to the papal court and was in service to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and later Pope Gregory XIII. Virtually Gambaras entire life had been encompassed by the culture of the papal court a place where he also made his name as a poet. One of Gambaras major driving beliefs was that the popular myths in ancient poetry had pagan roots. Wanting to write something to counteract the celebration of depraved literature in his time Gambara wrote this treatise to discourage Christian poets from using pagan symbols in their work. He dedicated this work to some of the greatest themes in Christian liturgy such as the Annunciation Epiphany Pentecost and Christmas. Adams G-186; Brunet II 1474; Graesse III 22.

Gambaras rare neo-Latin treatise discouraging Christian poets from using pagan symbols the Liber Rerum Sacrarum finely illustrated by Passeri and from the Plantin press in 1577. Rare original edition of Lorenzo Gambaras Liber Rerum Sacrarum a collection of Latin religious poems in which he dissuades Christian poets from using pagan mythology in their work. Gambara was born in Brescia in 1506 but spent most of his life in Rome in service to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and Pope Gregory XIII where he had regular contact with many writers of the day. He himself was a prolific poet and translator of Greek lyric poetry perhaps better known for his work on the Navigation of Christopher Columbus 1581. Gambara died in 1596 at the age of 90. Each of Gambaras poems in the Liber Rerum Sacrarum feature saints or religious feasts which were dedicated to a prominent prelate starting with a brief argumentum or appeal and with an illustration adapted to the text. As pointed out in letters by Plantin the plates were made in Italy by an unknown engraver probably after the designs of the Roman painter Bernardino Passeri whose name figures on the title page and shipped to Antwerp. Rare copies located at Stanford Duke Newberry Library Brigham Young and the National Art Library in London and another on market. Christoph Plantin hardcover books
