1818189601818. Americana Handwritten 1818 commonplace book. 38 handwritten pages 6" x 4." England. While the writer of this book remains unnamed flipping through the pages offers an intimate look into their thoughts ideas and reading habits. Writings in this book range from the political "The paper money system is a system of murder as well as robbery" to the thoughtful "An artichoke and a pineapple have the same shape but what a difference in flavor!" to the biting "Women have such a tedious manner of telling a story." The latter half of the book is entitled "Memorandum" and appears to be mostly concerned with matters of business. There quotes and verses of poems that the writer found inspiring such as an excerpt from Voltaire: "The art of instructing succeeds better than the art of lampooning because satire dies with those who are its victims but.virtue is immortal." Other excerpts include "The universe appeared as a vault wherein true comfort was entombed; and the sun himself as a lamp to show the gloomy horror of a guilty mind." "One of the Roman emperors sent to buy the pillow of a man that was greatly in debt yet could sleep sweetly." "Of all the tyrannies on humankind the worst is that which persecutes the mind." "Many prose writers dislike wit as eunuchs dislike love." "On Monday evening Mr. Brougham is reported to have made a motion for the diminution of the influence of the crown in a speech which the Times calls the greater parliamentary effort this __. If instead of the greatest the Times had called it the longest that judicious paper would have been for once right.we have heard that the hon. member spoke for three hours & a half." Fascinating journal that offers a detailed view into everyday life two hundred years ago. Delicate pages are intact with expected tanning. Cover is loose from the book with a large stain to blank area. Otherwise very good condition. unknown

186412254<p>A nice example of a very uncommon newspaper printed weekly for the staff and patients of Hammond General or Point Lookout Hospital during 1863 and 1864. This Hospital for Union troops was constructed at the location of a summer resort on an isolated peninsula extending into Chesapeake Bay. After the Battle of Gettysburg during which a large number of Confederate troops were captured Point Lookout also quickly became the location of the largest Union prison camp. </p><p>The newspaper carries war news some general news and even a bit of poetry. The back page contains a list of the staff of the Hospital as well as the names States and units of the current patients. There were about 250 patients at the Hospital when this issue of the newspaper was printed. </p><p>The newspaper also contains several Army reports and notices including one noting the continued poor health of General Meade and the likelihood that "in consequence thereof General Grant will command the army in person." Also included is a clarifying proclamation regarding amnesty issued by President Lincoln.</p><p>Issues of this wartime hospital newspaper are very uncommon. As an indication of its rarity: the American Antiquarian Society which has the country's largest collection of newspapers only holds nine issues of the paper not including the issue offered here.
