Largely writings on Biblical subjects and on the Indians of South and Central America to support William Sully Beebe's theory that "a great philosophical cult once occupied all the Americas, originating in Peru" and that there is a relationship between the phonetic values of their pictographs and those of the semitic languages. He also held that their legends resemble those of the Genesis cycle, which, Beebe believed, had their origin in America. Included in the papers are several letters on these subjects by Beebe to Josiah Willard Gibbs, William Dwight Whitney and Henry Clark Corgin. Also miscellaneous newspaper clippings, 1893-1894, on archaeology and biblical research.
