1845 ORIGINAL PRE CIVIL WAR MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A MEDINA NEW YORK MATRIARCH FEATURING LOCAL HISTORY AND GENEALOGY

18450001972MEDINA NEW YORK WAYNE COUNTY. Fair. 1845. On offer is a fascinating pre Civil War 1845 with notes to 1869 manuscript diary handwritten by Nancy Maston who is a resident in or near Medina New York in Wayne County. She was born on September 20th 1796 thusly 48 years old at the outset of the diary. We note that Nancy when she turns 67 years old in 1863 that she considers herself "quite an old woman but somewhat smart yet." She has a son Henry and a husband Ephraim. Her mother is noted on Sept. 20 1862 to be remembered to have died some time before at 85 years of age and Nancy misses her very much. Nancy describes on December 25 1858 when the journal entries begin "Wilcox Mill burnt down in Medina - formerly the old tannery - lost everything no insurance has wife daughter and son." Ephraim and Henry were present at the scene. A Civil War Draft is mentioned on Feb. 24 1865 as "an exciting day - an awful war when will it come to an end" Also the death of a friend from an April 16 1869 entry where the "girls" and Henry have gone to attend the funeral of Isaac Heist - died of typhoid fever and congestion of the brain." Apart from the above entries life seems pretty good and even keeled: ordinary entries of visits with people back and forth i.e. R. Douglass 9/10 Sept 1847 13th Sept same year Littell and Aunt Lydia and 15th of that month with Dr. Hill - note here that her writing deteriorates for some reason in 1847. Visits with people also 1855 and 1853. Normal life comprises of men/family folk riding the sleigh for visits and "chop wood for stove". Nancy is also religious and "laments people have lost respect for the gospel" - also calling Sunday the Sabbath. She attended the funeral of a "coloured woman" at the Methodist Church. While she writes sporadically there are about 50 pages of entries and a number of ephemeral pieces tucked in including a World War I Registration Certificate dated Sep 12 1918 for Edgar Abraham Gould in Buffalo NY. The 4" x 6" is rather worn and there is some scattered internal foxing but overall Fair.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF NANCY MASTON MEDINA NEW YORK WAYNE COUNTY WILCOX MILL PRE CIVIL WAR ANTE BELLUM GENDER STUDIES WOMEN'S STUDIES AMERICANAHANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown

1846 - 1849 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THIS YOUNG TEACHER'S EDUCATION TO BECOME A MEDICAL DOCTOR

18460001734CASTLETON VERMONT ELIZABETHTOWN NEW JERSEY NJ. Poor. 1846. On offer is a very interesting original 1846 - 1849 manuscript diary handwritten by James Ross a hardworking young teacher turned medical student. James at some point moved to Castleton Vermont in Rutland County and worked in the area while teaching school. He then goes on to study medicine with a local doctor and eventually moves to Elizabethtown New Jersey 69 Canal Street where he matriculates at New York City College. His daily life is on every page of this small leather bound journal that he easily carried in his pocket and took it everywhere with him it seems. We learn in Castleton that he taught school "had 12 scholars today a good day" worked in a small drug store and studied medicine with Dr. Eliakin Paul. James mentions the name Woodward several times and casual research informs us that Mr. Woodward owned the first drug store in town working from his home. Eventually the drug store was erected on the corner east of the Methodist Church where they did a large business furnishing medicines to physicians in the vicinity also to graduates of the medical college. The store also sold surgical instruments as James Ross mentions in this diary. James keeps meticulous notations as to the price of numerous items he would purchase monies paid to him for books money borrowed from his brother or relative; Reuben Ross Jr.; where and with who he lived in a boarding house; where he "staid overnight"; the names of his friends and of his diversions. He mentions Dr. Nichols Dr. Parker and his lectures Dr. Paul Dr. Page Dr. Clark Gillman Barker Mott lectures etc. His daily notes include the 4th of July fire works in Vermont were the best he had ever seen; goes to visit the Woodruff family at Connecticut Farms and rode there with Mr. Fortought; Woodruffs all well went to a prayer meeting at the old schoolhouse and saw some old friends; apparently James was originally from Connecticut. Got back home to VT went to work all day delivered some medicine to A. Hotch; some elixir and then went to hear Dr. Bostwick speak. James went to the hospital to see soldiers that were sick and being treated with lead wash and liniment. Went to Hope Chapel to listen to Mr. Buckingham and Mr. Chapin talk about capital punishment and came away "fully convinced capital punishment should be established. "Went to a camp meeting in Fairhaven where he attended a lecture with "nearly 30 students together." Went to Chatham Theatre and to the museum where he saw a giant boy etc. He purchases new clothes had his boots renailed sheared sheep for his father went hunting and killed a pheasant and attended the Methodist church in town. Heard a lot of swearing at a political meeting in Sept. where "men were caucusing in every direction." Went to the fair in Rutland Vermont etc. Went to town clerk and took the oath for surveying closed on a few deeds. Certainly a very busy young man with a lot of "irons in the fire"; teaching working studying medicine and having somewhat of a social life as he writes of numerous friends. James has written a few names and addresses in this journal to include: H. Fisher 122 Pearl Street NY J. Vaness corner of Jackson and Johnson Street Brooklyn P. S. Denmore and Ed Price 107 Fulton ST. Doctor Oatman 111 Eldridge St. Nelson Eddy 89 Pearl ST. NY etc. Now he writes about the list of books he will need for medical school and there are quite a few. He took the Sommerville Railroad and then onto a boat to get to New York. He went to Brooklyn to visit the Navy Yard and eventually on to Elizabethtown NJ where he now settles in to live and attend medical college in NYC. James mentions 77 Fulton Street in New York and O.O. Wickham's class. Condition of the small 2 1/2 x 4 inch leather bound 178 pages book is rather poor with several pages are loose and the interior pages are attempting to come loose from the spine yet still holding; the outside leather case had a snap cover at one time however the snap is missing.

1846 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT LETTER DESCRIBING A RIGOROUS TRIP UP ONE OF AMERICAS MOST FAMOUS ECOLOGICAL LANDMARKS MT. WASHINGTON AS WELL AS DETAILING AN EVENT IN THE DARKER SIDE OF NATURE

18460009064MT WASHINGTON NEW HAMPSHIRE NH CRAWFORD NOTCH. Good. 1846. On offer is an 1846 letter containing 4 pages of writing detailing the incredible account of a journey the unnamed author took up to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. It is addressed to a Miss S. R. Cragin of Westminster East Vt. In addition to this account the author of the letter talks about the Willey House or cottage which was and still is standing at the time. The tragedy that befell the house and the family inside it in 1826 was an flood and landslide that killed the family of 9 and destroyed everything around it but the cottage itself. The letter begins Bethlehem Aug. 7 1846. My Dear Friend I received your kind letter yesterday and was very glad to find you kept your promise on hand tho you delayed so long to fulfill it.I have spent my time very pleasantly this summer so far since I regained my usual state of health which is about six or seven weeks ago and I have performed one great feat for so much of an invalid as I am. Would you believe it I have been to the top of Mt. Washington the highest point of land in the US this side of Mississippi River you know. She continues my brothers John and Charles with their wives came here the last of June on their way to the mountains and after their visit here we concluded to go with them to the Notch about 17 miles and spend a day as to viewing the wondrous works of the Great Architect of nature. The Notch she speaks of is most probably Crawford Notch. .I could not give you any adequate description of the awful grandeur of the place if I would nor of the emotions of the bosom while passing there other than that they were those of bordering upon the terrific. The mountains appear to have been sent asunder from the top to the foundation and separated just far enough to make a road through and for a small stream to run which soon became the Saco River. In looking up those giddy heights almost directly over head and into the fearful chasms below one feels like holding their breath in astonishment and exclaiming how came they so No answer comes back but from the mountains themselves eloquent in their stillness the hand that made us is divine. The author then describes coming upon the Willey House that place of melancholy interest to those who have read the story of that ill fated family. You recollect a family of nine were destroyed twenty years ago this summer but an avalanche from the mountain.One can near fully realize the terrific scene by standing on the spot and have someone conversant with the affairs of late the particulars then by re-enacting the account. The author and her party then return to the tavern to rest. They ascend the next day. We presented a most curious spectacle that long cavalcade; making our way directly up that steep mountain. I thought of Bonaparte's army crossing the Alps.But we all got safely up to the pinnacle and seated ourselves by a cool spring by the side of the great rock and retired then looked about saw what we could among other things a great snowbank as big as the garden then made the best of our way down. She concludes the journey by saying I never felt more my insignificance than when standing alone upon that mountain; and yet I could not but feel that one in mortal soul was of more main account with Him who made them both than all these stupendous works of his hands. After the journey ends the letter commences with the usual pleasantries remembrances and news between friends: Remember me to your mother and sisters. How does little Frances and her sister Mrs. Halton likewise. Have they opened their tavern yet.We had a sudden death in our neighborhood this morning. A man who was well Saturday night as usual was a corpse this morning at 6 oclock. His death was caused by eating cherries. Much of the last bit of the letter is written along the edges of the pages and can be a bit more difficult to decipher as the script is smaller and denser. However the handwriting is clean and the script can be worked out with just a bit more effort than takes to read the main portion of the letter. The letter is in fairly rough shape and has tears on many of the creases. It is still intact and the entire thing can still be read if care and caution are taken. Each page measures about 7 1/2 x 10. Historical notes: The Willey House was built in 1793 or 1798 some say 1820 as a public house in Crawford Notch about 23 miles northwest of the village of North Conway NH in the White Mountains. In 1825 it became the homestead of Samuel Willey Jr. and his family. They operated it as an inn to accommodate travelers passing through the mountains on the notch road. In August 1826 a violent storm occurred and the Saco River began to rise in front of the house. The family apparently left the house to escape the flood only to be buried in a huge landslide. Mr. and Mrs. Willey their five children and two hired men all perished but their house was left untouched. It was protected by a rock ledge on the hillside above it that split the major slide into two streams that flowed around the house. After the tragedy at the Willey House the White Mountains became a popular subject for hundreds of artists in the nineteenth century. The landscape scenes painted by artists became known as White Mountain Art. The house was later occupied and in 1844 the house and its stable were repaired and a seventy by forty foot hotel was built adjacent to it. The old house was a favorite tavern in the region and visitors were charged a small fee to be escorted through rooms of the house. The remnant of the rock which protected the house during the tragedy was still behind the house and the track of the slide could be ascended through a scattered forest of birch trees; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF S.

1847 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT INTRACONTINENTAL TRAVEL DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG WOMAN TRAVELING FROM NORWICH TO NEW YORK TO CLEVELAND TO PHILADELPHIA TO NEW YORK ALL BY THE CANAL NETWORK ESTABLISHED IN THE PRIOR 20 YEARS

18470008168NORWICH CONNECTICUT INTRA CONTINENTAL USA. Good. 1847. On offer is a rare handmade travel journal dating from early 19th century America. The paper volume is composed of 16 pages hand stitched inside a heavier paper cover. The small volume is in good condition and all pages are intact. There is some discolouration due to age but it does not affect the handwriting. The volume measures 6.5 inches by 4.25 inches and is approximately 50% complete. The journal is written in 1847 by a woman named Betsy Allen. Her home is recorded as Norwich which could refer to Norwich CT as her journey begins by travelling to New York City. Allen travelled in a great loop from New York City up the Hudson River and into the Erie Canal. She passed through Buffalo and sailed on to Cleveland OH. From Cleveland she travelled south by canal boat to Ellsworth OH arriving on July 22th. She stayed in Ellsworth until Oct 19th. Daily entries often take the form of a single line or comment: "Left Norwich landing for New York sailed all day slow and sure come to New York" July 7; "7 o'clock came to Rochester" July 16; ". went into Capt Allen's boat Buffalo early in morning" July 19; "50¢ sail out for Cleveland" July 20; On Oct 19th she left Ellsworth in the company of her father and 5 other women and began a remarkable trip back to the east coast via the Ohio and Pennsylvania canal systems. This canal route was a complex transportation system that included canals dams locks tow paths aqueducts and viaducts. Construction of this network began in the early 1820's and continued for the next several decades. She travelled through places like Petersburgh Bridgewater and Lowry. Eventually she reached Pittsburgh. From Pittsburgh she followed the canal through places like Johnstown and Holidaysburgh crossing over the Juniata River by means of a rope ferry. She crossed the Susquehanna River by an aqueduct eventually arriving at Philadelphia after passing through Harrisburg. At Philadelphia she boarded a steam ship for New York City and then Norwich on Oct 27th. She offers more details in her comments during this portion of her trip: "Left Ellsworth for home. Got a cup of coffee and dinner at Mr. Speers in Petersburgh . put up early at Mr.Wells four miles from Bridgewater fare not very good" Oct 19; ". passed through 16 locks in the forenoon. Nothing particular this afternoon only the passage through the tunnel this is a piece of art." Oct 21; ". crossed the Juniata while eating by means of a rope ferry" Oct 23. This is an absolutely fascinating journey and her description spare at times provides an excellent catalogue of the canals and locks that she traversed. It is all the more remarkable because this is a woman making the trip and she obviously came from a family with the means to afford such a trip. By 1900 the canals essentially ceased to operate as railroads took over as the preferred way to move people and goods. However the canals played a vital role in opening up the interior to move settlers west and bring raw materials and crops east to the growing cities of New York and Philadelphia. For a historian this is an excellent first-hand account of travel around the entire system.; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; UNITED STATES; MID-19TH CENTURY; 1840s; BETSY ALLEN; ERIE CANAL PENNSYLVANIA CANAL; OHIO AND ERIE CANAL; DELAWARE CANAL NORWICH TRAVEL IN THE MID-19TH CENTURY AMERICA; HUDSON RIVER; AMERICAN CANAL BOATS; NORTH AMERICAN CANAL AGE; AMERICAN WATERWAYS IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY; NEW YORK STATE CANAL SYSTEM; TRAVELING WOMEN IN THE 19TH CENTURY AMERICA; WOMEN'S STUDIES; TRAVEL DIARIES; AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

JEREMIAH GOULD [?]Biblio.com

1849 - 1854 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A KEEN EYED INTROSPECTIVE INDIANA SURVEYOR DETAILING HIS LIFE AND FAMILY HARDSHIPS OF TRAGIC ILLNESS WHO STILL SEES THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD WHILE VISITING THE NEW YORK CRYSTAL PALACE EXPOSITION

18490002366MISHAWAKA WOLF CREEK MARSHALL COUNTY INDIANA IN. Fair. 1849. Offered is a super original manuscript diary dated August 1849 through to a final tragic entry in April 1854. The diary was handwritten by an Indiana surveyor farmer politician and engineer who worked throughout Indiana Ohio and Illinois. While the 64 page book lacks any identifying signatures or inscription a tucked in scrap of what appears to be original poetry dated 1840 bears the name of Jeremiah Gould. The final 1854 entry is signed in a different hand with the initials V.G. likely the son Vernon which we believe adds credence to Jeremiah's authorship though more research should be done. The diary is a fascinating and a superb telling of the author's personal life and times as he writes not just of what has happened but also his thoughts about the family's future. We learn that it is a hard life given his family suffered many attacks of fever and disease and a super portrait of pre Civil War America and there is so much to it: he and fellow surveyors find an old Indian Battle ground while on a survey; political commentary about the Whig Party Daniel Webster including his own ambitions in local politics as he is elected to office. His children he writes about many times - Vernon Marietta and Robert. For example one of his sons Vernon leaves to study medicine. The town of Rochester is a focus of commentary often along with Mishawaka Wolf Creek and Marshall County and the Yellow River. In fact there is a great entry about crossing the river by horse. He writes about surveying his own land under an act of Congress of Sept 25th. The author was a part time teacher rancher and elected county surveyor in August 1851 surveying for a Solomon Pontius. He mentions in great detail his cattle sheep and trying to raise crops. He also describes the political climate of the day and his own philosophical thoughts. Here is a snippet: Fri April 23 Went to Richland to attend court for Mother. I never saw so many ignorant a set of men nor so disorderly a court as I saw today the justice was entirely incompetent to fill his office. I am satisfied that magistrates ought not to be elected to office. For in a great majority of cases incompetent persons will be elected over worthy and competent men while there is no one responsible for this impromptu choice. Today I had conversations with A.F. Smith related to political affairs we concluded to call a meeting of the Whig's of the county on the 22nd of March. This close's the year 1852- a year in which I have had many bright prospects and as many disappointments but on the whole out situation is somewhat improved I have paid off some debts made some valuable improvements upon my family and in the year to come we have all been blest with health. Sept 21 I left home for the east. Arrived in South Bend in the evening took carriage 40 minutes past 11 arrived Monroe in the morning. Took passage on board steamboat about 10 min and arrived in Cleveland about 4 pm and in the morning of the 23rd arrived in Buffalo. Gould also travels for his pleasure and edification particularly when he travels east and does a super job on two and a half pages of describing his trip to The World's Fair September 1853. This was the Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations a World's Fair held in 1853 in what is now Bryant Park in New York City in the wake of the highly successful 1851 Great Exhibition in London. The New York Fair also had a Crystal Palace. He also went directly to the Mechanics Fair in Boston on September 30th and he writes a couple of short paragraphs. The tragedy contained in this diary is dramatic and saddening to read. Shortly after the author attends the World's Fair his wife suddenly gets ill and then dies of this illness. Within a year the Author perishes as well from "Typhus". In the Winter of 1851 I wrote to M.D. Smith of Ohio for a flock of sheep June 1st 1851 Vernon left home to study medicine under the instruction of Dr. Brokett July 5th I purchased 500 sheep of Smith. In the fall Vernon took a school over the river for three months. In December I commenced surveying my lands for Culua under an Act of Congress of Sept 25th. In Jan I was appointed Deputy county surveyor with the understating that I should have all the business of the county. I continued to to the County surveying until the August election. My sheep became diseased and we had a great deal of trouble with them and of the 500. I had little but 100 at shearing and all the wool was insufficient to pay the first installment of the purchase money a great disappointment. Wednesday 25th 1852 Finished the road and went across the woods to Montgomery's and thence to Barnes on the way there we passed by the remains of some shanties erected on the Indian Payment ground on the North side of Chippewa rock erected in 1836. In the afternoon surveyed a road from Barnes's to Warsaw Road. After the survey was finished as we were sitting upon a log near the Chippewa rock south of Martins Mr Montgomery picked out a bullet from a log about 4 inches from the outside of the log which had overgrown by 37 layers of wood. This circumstance gave rise from which I learned that about 50 years ago the Chippewa's and Pottawatomie had a battle at this place. Previous to that time the Chippewa occupied this county and had a town on the creek. The old town of Aubbunaublu township was also a Chippewa town. January 1st 1854 Eighteen hundred fifty three is passed away and what has it left me I have been totally successful in temporal affairs. Have diminished my debts have extended my acquaintances have visited the home of my youth and have been flattered with visions of future success but I have lost my nearest friend my family is broken up my plans for the future have been frustrated and sorrow has sent an arrow into my heart deeper that before." The 8 x 6.5 inch journal is basically disbound covers hanging by string loose pages but the text is complete and legible.

1849 - 1850 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A REBEL AND PARTICIPANT IN THE REVOLUTION OF BADEN DETAILING HIS PARTICIPATION ARREST INTERROGATION AND IMPRISONMENT

18490001508Donaueschingen Germany Southhern Germany. Very Good. 1849. On offer is a very unique historically significant 1849 - 1859 manuscript relic of the Revolution of Baden. There are fifty three 53 pages in German handwriting containing the journal entries of an unidentified 'rebel' and citizen of Donaueschingen Germany who was arrested as part of the Rebellion. While the participant is unidentified local historians researchers or collectors of the era may have enough clues to ascertain the writer's full identity. The entries are dated 6th of July 1849 the day before his arrest until the 25th of June 1850 the day the sentence of the Royal Court was handed down. The accused describes graphically where and how his accommodations were by whom and when he was interrogated and for which accusations how he responded and gives such an informative picture of that time and those circumstances from the point of view of someone who at the end of the Revolution of Baden was arrested by the Prussians as a supporter of the revolution. Here are some snippets: 6th July 1849: "Friday night at about 11 pm marched the troops and the guards under the leadership of Siegel Werner Gögg and so on off toward Hüfingen." 7th July 1849: "On Saturday marched against them the Hessians the Prussians the Bavarians the Mecklenburgers the Frankfurters and the Nassauers about 6000 men towards Donaueschingen a small city in the Black Forest region where 3000 men mostly Bavarians were stationed. On this day I got 20 meters of accommodations" In the evening at 7 o'clock I was by the Brigadier and the Hessian Provost on orders by the Civil Commissioner Refanie supposedly because of favouring the revolt arrested. There follow descriptions about the type and place of his accommodation observations about the high number of men stationed in Donaueschingen speculation that he could only have been arrested because of a denunciation; on the 9th of July he was apprised of the accusations against him; there follow the days of the hearings with exact descriptions of the proceedings: "on the 2nd January 1850 I had my final interrogation" "Tuesday the 25th June 1850 they revealed the royal court's verdict upon which I on Monday appealed to the upper court registered." With this last sentence the entries end. The first 45 pages are in a 45-page stitched notebook at the approximate size of 15.5 x 10 cm. and a further 8 pages of the same size are loose. Historians collectors and researchers will recognize the the utter uniqueness and rarity of this manuscript. Overall VG.

1849 - 1868 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTERS COPY BOOK AND JOURNAL HANDWRITTEN BY ONE OF HOLLAND'S PRE EMINENT SURGICAL INSTRUMENT MAKERS

18490002575LEIDEN HOLLAND THE NETHERLANDS. Good. 1849. On offer is the fascinating original 1849 through 1850s journal and letter copy book of the renowned Dutch instrument maker Julius Theodoor Leopold Hoefftcke. Born on 12 March 1800 in Berlin he moved to Leiden at age 26 and within two years he was appointed as the instrument maker of Leiden University. He supplied the academic world with instruments until his death in 1875. After which his grandson took over the company and moved to England. The book is a superb source for researchers and historians as a rare insight into the world of Dutch instrument making which was a growth industry and for which the Dutch were ferociously proud. This book contains all the financial agreements of Mr. Hoefftcke around 1850s to 1860s. For every individual borrowing the instruments or goods he noted how much should have been paid when it had to be paid and once paid he confirmed it in his book. From his letters one could conclude that he did not only loan out his goods but also sold them. The book shows that the financial agreements do not only limit themselves to the University of Leiden and in fact his instruments were shipped long distances. We note a letter shows that instruments were sent to J. Pohl who was an instrument maker located in the Hague since 1820. Besides the financial agreements there are also some formal letters to the clients and suppliers. Based on the letters one could say that some or perhaps all of the letters were just a written copy of an original letters. Many letters point out the author was German born as narrative is peppered with 'mit' and 'und' but most of this material dates about 25 years after he moved to the Netherlands so his Dutch is excellent and definitely understandable.

1849 New Hampshire Teen Boys Academic and Creative Writing Kept While At Indiana University

18490012219Bloomington Monroe County Indiana New Hampshire. Good with no dust jacket. 1849. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating 19th century journal with an academic slant kept by a young American student. The diary was kept by Thomas Elwood Clark 1834-1909. Clark was born in North Carolina to parents William Clark and Louisa Worth He married Nancy Goodrich 1835-1882 on October 5 1862. They lived in Indiana where they raised their four children Mary Louisa Love John Nellie and Miriam. Clark was a merchant who owned a shop. It seems Clark was enlisted and fought in the US Civil War but this is not confirmed. According to online records Clark was 15-years-old at the time of this books writing and according to census data his family was still living in New Hampshire. However there are notations in the journal that imply he is at Bloomington IA University which is Indiana University. On the first page of the journal Clark writes that the journal is Commenced on the 1st day of May 1849 in the town of Bloomington Monroe County I. A. There is no obvious explanation for this seeming discrepancy. One might guess that Clark was sent to Indiana for summer school or early university admission. He does settle in Indiana and build his life there as an adult. This book is filled with fascinating academic notes written in a stunning copperplate script. Clark both writes his original thoughts and copies pieces of content in this book. The book opens with a summary of the state of cholera in the USA goes on to list several questions for polemics followed by a question of polemics selected and answered by Clark himself he provides his opinion on the question are secret societies a benefit to mankind . He copies impressive poetry of the time and creates and writes his own poetry and prose. Clark makes careful notes about the fine arts languaging a section on alliteration and how Latin contributes to English for example. Clark makes notes about how to complete various mathematical calculations and so much more. Some excerpts from the book follow: Read this my friends when Im away/And calmly think a youth this day/Long sat oer look in moody dream/Wishing praying some music theme/Would be obedient to his call/And store the minds love vacant hall/So on this page a youthful name/Might stands a record free from shame Excerpt of a poem by T. Elwood Clark July 4 1849. .Are secret societies a benefit to mankind .As it has been their imperative duty to promote the cause of virtue alleviate suffering humanity and fortify the bullworks of secret institutions. I say all those thus engaged have nobly served their day and generation and although their effort was but a feeble one yet many a disconsolate being as helped the cause which brought the hoped relief. Excerpt of T. Elwood Clarks response to the polemic question n. D. . There are Three Thousand Six hundred and Sixty Four known languages now in use in the world. Of these Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven are Asiatic. Five Hundred and Eighty Seven European and Two Hundred African. And the rest American dialects copied by T. Elwood Clark. The cholera is very bad at present. Washington Davis Co. Is deserted. There were seventy five deaths there yesterday. Nine reported here this morning. Two are dead Aug 1 1849. For a historian or an education researcher this small journal gives a picture of the type of topics and questions that were considered worthy subjects as part of a young persons education. While many reflect the times and current knowledge it is interesting how some still hold relevance to debates today. Measuring 7.5x6 inches this journal contains 148 pages and is about 35% complete. For its age it is in quite good condition. There are wear marks on the hard cover especially the corners. The binding is secure but loosening and all pages are intact.

1850 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A WELL-TO-DO YOUNG MAN WHO EXPERIENCES HOMESICKNESS AND DEPRESSION AS HES SENT OFF TO CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS TO STUDY FOR HIS HARVARD ENTRANCE EXAM

18500009062KINGSTON CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS MA HARVARD. Good. 1850. On offer is the diary of Joseph Holmes an 18 year old boy who leaves his home in Kingston Massachusetts in 1850 to be tutored for the college examination in Cambridge Mass. presumably for entrance into Harvard University. On the first page Holmes writes: The Intention of this Journal is as well and faithfully as I am able to carry out my purpose to contain a description of all my actions of my advancement in study of my pastimes of my expenditures and all such other matters as may be interesting for myself parents and other friends to whom it shall always be open in after time to review neatly written down each day at an appointed period set especially apart for the purpose. He begins his journal as follows: "This morning for the first time I left the place of my Nativity the Home of Eighteen years the Friends of my infancy and Youth the Companions of a happy Boyhood the scenes of a brief but gladsome experience and more than all the immediate presence and supervision of my Parents for a long absence but I trust not separation. He writes of his farewells to his family and takes the train to school with his father: "Having seated myself in the cars I was soon beyond Kingston and summoning all my courage I tried to appear cheerful. The Hon Daniel Webster occupied a seat directly in front of me. Upon leaving the cars I perceived Capt A Baker. After our arrival we proceeded directly to the Fitchburg Station and took the Harvard Branch for Cambridge about to be my dwelling place. Holmes finds a boarding house to live in Cambridge. He becomes homesick very soon and to add to his misery the weather is very poor with constant rain. He writes: "My room is dark disagreeable and cold. I am obliged to wrap a coverlet about me to keep comfortable. I never before have seen so dusty and muddy a place as this is it is difficult to decide which is the worst - one day you are covered with dust the next splattered with mud which resembles ashes and water." However he does take to his studies with his tutor very well: I went to my Tutor an hour earlier instead of my appointed one for other days. My lesson being well acquired and ____ I happily began to prepare myself for my first walk into Boston and later I spent most of the morning in study preparing my lesson. Mr. Lowe seems to be very well satisfied with my advancement - I told him this morning he must scold if I was not smart enough. In spite of the poor weather Holmes does walk quite often to Boston and around the area. He visits Mount Auburn and writes of the beautiful monuments and the simple beauty of the chapel. He also visits Harvard Hall: "we went over to Harvard Hall and viewed all the paintings and portraits. Some of them are splendid pictures. The principal room is the place where the students practice forensics. Shall I ever tremble on that stage myself thought I as I saw it and after that came this encouragement.Shall I ever make those before me in this Hall to tremble." Holmes is an excellent and mellifluous writer: Here we have another dull rainy homesick day. The clouds seemed to be overloaded with water and are pouring forth their liquid contents plentifully and continually. Holmess father must have done business in Boston as Holmes meets him quite often at the depot. His father keeps his son updated on the news from home as well as with letters and the diary contains mentions of deaths marriages and family news. There are no entries from May 27 until Oct 20 the last entry in the journal. In this last entry he summarizes what he had done since May. Most importantly to him he passed the "dreaded college examination". He writes I studied very steadily during the month of June and a fortnight of July preparing.July myself the pleasure of a few visits home. He also wrote of the Fourth of July Celebration in Boston and the great Quarter Celebration of the June 17th: "I spent the day with Mrs. Barker having just returned from Kingston. Mr. Everett delivered the Oration in one of the Ship Houses of the Navy Yard which was beautifully decorated and arranged for the occasion." Edward Everett was a US Representative a US Senator Governor of Massachusetts and Secretary of State. He was also President of Harvard from 1846 to 1849. In this same long entry the Holmes mentions another historical event that occurred in July 1850: "On the 10th of July I went home with my tutor Mr. Lowe to spend a day with Father and Mother before the examination. We carried with us the sad news of the death of President Z Taylor. He finishes the entry by stating: I returned to Cambridge and entered upon my Collegiate Course when I should have also returned to any Journal but for various reasons I have delayed this long. At the very end of the book There are two pages of the Account of Joseph A. Holmes in which Holmes writes down his various expenses for the month of May such as Carriage to convey Trunk - $.25 1/2 Lb. Confectionary - $.10 1 pr. Congress Gaiters - $3.00 1 Pr. Pants - $5.00 and a number of others. The final page of the book is titled Memoranda of Correspondence of J. A. H. and contains a column of Correspondents alongside columns of Letters written and Letters recd with the amount written next to each name.

CARRIE C BROWNEBiblio.com

1852 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A NOTED SCHOOL FOR GIRLS PROVIDING A SUPER LOOK AT THE STATE OF EDUCATION IN PRE CIVIL WAR PENNSYLVANIA

18520007008JUNIATA COUNTY SPRUCE HILL TOWNSHIP PENNSYLVANIA. Good. 1852. On offer is unique and quite rare diary/journal written by a young woman in pre-Civil War America. The book itself is a mixture of diary and journal created by Carrie C Browne a young woman attending the Tuscarora Female Seminary. It is important to note that the term 'seminary' in the 19th Century did not have any religious connotation. It signified an institution of higher learning. It was started by a wealthy farmer named Alexander Patterson in 1847 and it educated young women for almost twenty-five years before closing. Carrie Browne was likely about 15 or 16 years of age when she began this. It appears Tuscarora Seminary did not survive the Civil War as many students were young women from the aristocratic families south of the Mason-Dixon Line and if the school did not close immediately after the declaration of war it was abandoned soon after because of lack of patronage. The ruins of Tuscarora Female Seminary are still standing. Over time legends of hauntings and other mysterious goings-on have grown up and some consider it a major haunted site. Entries in Browne's journal are not necessarily contiguous - there are both small and large time gaps in her entries as well as a number of missing pages. Taken together though they span a period from 1852 to 1857. Most of the entries are from 1855. They offer a rare glimpse into life in mid-19th century rural America in the years immediately preceding the Civil War. Here are samples of entries that she made: 'Started for Mills to visit Bell Patterson Miss Hutchins Mattie and myself. Jamie Patterson took us up. Started a little after Seven O'clock and arrived there about a quarter of eleven o'clock. Has a pleasant ride up Rode through a great deal of woods saw squirrels and various kinds of birds when we when we arrived there Bell came out from the to meet us seemed glad to see her old schoolmates After dinner John Laughlin a young gentleman clerk in her father's store came over to see us he took us to the factory to show us how they leather etc. I got on the wheel and rode with him then we got weighted then we took a walk up what the call the "Lovers Path" called on Uncle Mr. Patterson they have a Piano there . June 8 1855 Arose before the bell rang arranged my room went to study hour. In school all day. After wrote a letter to 4 pages long had a thundershower in the evening met in the students parlour for our class in sacred vocal music Mattie got some tomatoes and vinegar up together with some bread and butter returned 9 o'clock July 24 1855 Matilda Gale John White and Charles Everett Pratt came from New York and stayed all night. Called on Craig Pratt played and sang divinely and was remarkably handsome Aug 19 1857 He obviously made an impression from this entry 6 days later: engaged myself to be married to "Charles Everett Pratt'. Had a very pleasant tete-a-tete in the front parlour on the "sofa" . August 25 The journal is chock full of side notes poems short notes from friends etc. It is full of names of those in her life. Patterson a prominent name in that area figures frequently. For a historical researcher focusing on life in rural southeastern Pennsylvania or life immediately prior to the Civil War this journal is a goldmine. Names local places daily activities and routines - Carrie's chatty forthright style gives a very clear impression of what that world would look like through the eyes of a school girl. In just 5 years her world would dissolve in war and the bloodiest Civil War campaign - Gettysburg - would reach to with 35 miles of her school. It measures 8 inches by 7 inches and contains approximately 144 pages. There is evidence of pages torn out some have been partially torn and others have had portions cut out.

COMMODORE [?] JOHN DOWNESBiblio.com

1852 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A PASSIONATE OPINIONATED MAN WHO DETESTS THE FREE SOILERS LADY'S BLOOMERS AND INTERFERING FOREIGNERS TRYING TO TELL AMERICANS 'WHAT IS WHAT'

18520001960CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS MASS MA. Very Good. 1852. On offer is a superb original historically significant 1852 manuscript diary handwritten by John Downes of Cambridge Massachusetts as evidenced by his two signatures. While we cannot confirm ownership we believe the author is Commodore John Downes a famed American naval officer with a storied career who lived from 1786 to 1854. The writer's preoccupation with the weather the wind direction and other comments give us no pause to suggest this ownership but a local historian or researcher should have little problem confirming. The diary was created on blank pages sandwiched among and in-between two 1852 Farmer's Almanacs which in turn are laid into a hard bound covers by bookseller Kidder & Cheever of Boston. Bound in between the two almanacs are a number of pages used by Downes to record almost on a daily basis his thoughts events weather politics ornithology etc. There are over 55 well filled pages handwritten in a tiny very legible manner using the pages to maximum ability. Historians and collectors of the pre Civil War period will be hard pressed to find a more erudite observer and commenter on the era's politics philosophy and current events. In fact Downes is very opinionated passionate man and right from the beginning of the writing he affirms his indignation of women's bloomer and a professor 'trying to tell Americans what is what'. 'All being most of the materials for an American Revolution'. Downes begins the 1852 year by writing "Janry 1852- New Years Day. Very warm for the season. Yesterday closed with a rainy evening and we had heavy showers through the night. The Year 1852 commences with a French Revolution on its hands. What else it may pick up on its way toward Doomsday remains mostly hidden; but we shall see quite fast enough. Already on hand we have Prof. Kossuth who is endeavoring to enlighten the benighted people of these Unites States on what is what and other interesting particulars. We have Free Soilers and Abolitionists and Bloomers and Woman's-Right-ers and some other small materials for an American Revolution if the talent were equal to the will but happily they are not world- compellers they move not mountains nor man but themselves. Thermometer at bedtime 33 deg. He continues on with various snippets throughout the year including in part "January A woodpecker I saw this morning is beyond my present learning.

SAMUEL EDWARD WARRENBiblio.com

1852 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A NOTED AND RENOWNED MASSACHUSETTS AUTHOR EDUCATOR AND ENGINEER

18520008148Massachusetts West Newton Boston. Good. 1852. On offer is an outstanding journal/manuscript written in the mid-19th century by a well-recognized educator. Measuring 8.5 inches by 7 inches the journal contains 235 pages. They are 100% complete with some editing alterations. The volume is in good condition and the handwriting is quite legible. Several pages have been cut out and several others have pieces cut out of them. This is not damage from an external source but rather part of his editing process as this is a draft for a final publication. Samuel Edward Warren was born in West Newton MA in 1831. His father was a physician as well as a farmer and it is little surprise that his son was well educated. Warren was educated at the Massachusetts State Normal School School of Education and Teacher Training and Renssaeler Polytechnic Institute. Established in 1824 Rennssaeler describes itself as the oldest technological university in the English speaking world and focuses on research and applied sciences. He graduated in 1851 and immediately began teaching 'descriptive geometry and drawing'. In 1854 he was promoted to professor of that chair and retained the position until 1872 when he resigned and took up a similar position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He resigned in 1875 to concentrate exclusively on a series of text books that he was writing. Warren passed away in 1909 at the age of 78. The journal is titled Volume 5 and a notation on the inside cover reads: "Thorough revision complete Oct 22nd 1865". The last sentence of an entry in Jan 1852 confirms the author's identity: ". I have been pressed so much about it a piece of overdue writing that I must get off this week the other two on Orphan Asylum and a Temperance movement the later which will be signed S. Edw. Warren" Jan 31 1852. p 26. Entries however date back to 1852 and appear to span that year. There are editorial notes that do date from 1865 on various pages. "On this day of rejoicing it would be a sin to suffer one gloomy note to enter into the chorus of content ." Jan 1 1852. He notes seeking work or engagements and is not above a wry turn of phrase: "I went to Albany this morning and Mr. March the uncivil Resident engineer said there was no business for me. I found that the new division engineer had not come into power and I could not find Vernon the R or Richmond the D nor Prof Mitchell the eng. of the Cincin & St. Louis RR but I am not discouraged yet. I shall ask Mr. Bergher for letters of introduction . and Prof Green for a recommendation to Prof Mitchell ." Jan 31 1852 pp 26-7; Professor Mitchell whom he mentions is probably Ormsby M. Mitchel an astronomer educator and Union army leader during the Civil War who was working at the Cincinnati and St. Lewis railroad at that time and after whom town Mitchell in Illinois was later named. "I got leave to go home from Prof Green found he will engage new Repeaters and have heard from Plympton that Mr. Edely his former partner is so unsettled as to business that it would not be worthwhile to apply to him. On Monday I shall go to Albany to hand my petition to the canal Board and see Mr. McAlpine William Jarvis McAlpine was an American civil engineer and politician from New York he was New York State Engineer and Surveyor from 1852 to 1853 and also some of the city engineers and see if they want to engage an assistant. I have got a no letter from N. York and if I do not get one soon shall write again or advertise in the Tribune for a situation as a teacher of Mathematics and Drawing for to teach such subjects to advanced scholars would be the happiest situation I could have ." Feb 21 1852 p. 38. What is significant is that the above paragraph is starred in the margin with the following note at the bottom of the page: "Here my true calling appears. Oct 15 1865". He relates a visit with his father to Boston and shows him around a number of factories engaged in engineering & manufacturing: ". Mother and Father and I went to Boston Father and I went through the freight house and engine house. I showed him the pump valve. Then we went to Algers and saw the huge shaft of the Hoosac Drill. Then we went to Wilmarths Locomotive works where is one of the finest screws in the world part of an iron planning machine it is 65 ft long and about 5 1/2 inches diam. But was first cast about 6 1/4 in diameter. . Today I wrote a momentous letter to Prof Green about returning to Troy with an increase of duties and pay $125 for a session. . I am getting very fond of Tupper and found some grand hints about teaching children ." Mar 19 1852 pp 53-4. He makes an interesting notation on the number of steam ships plying various waters: "Ocean steamers early '51 from Maine to C Sable 46 in the Gulf 13 on Pacific 37 total 96. Whole number including small steamers 625. Inland steamers on the northern frontier 164 Ohio Basin 348 Mississippi Valley 255 Total 767 which alone exceed the whole steamer tonnage of Great Britain by 60000 tons" Apr 2nd 1852 pp. 63-4. He makes an interesting reference to the American Civil War when he notes the death of one of his former students: "Died of fever in the U.S. War of Civilization" Oct 15th 1865 p. 107. The journal contains a 5-page Index of all entries. In all this outstanding journal offers terrific insights into the early thinking of a man who go on to be a noted educator and author of at least 15 books. It gives an interesting view of the state of engineering in pre-civil war America and hints at the industrial strength of the northern states which would play a crucial role in the North's victory in the American Civil War.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF MID 19TH CENTURY 1850s; 1960s; UNITED STATES MASSACHUSETTS BOSTON; SAMUEL EDWARD WARREN; MASSACHUSETTS STATE NORMAL SCHOOL; RENSSAELER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE; ENGINEERING IN THE MID-19TH CENTURY; STEAM BOATS ON AMERICAN WATERS; AMERICAN CIVIL WAR; MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY; CINCINCINNATI & ST.

1854 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND STUDY OF ASTRONOMY OF JAMES LIKELY

1854000404New Hampshire. Good. 1854. Cloth. This is an amazing diary that has so many wonderful qualities. Dated 1854 the original owner's name is James Likely. There is also the name Mary Likely written on the back inside cover. This is not really a handwritten diary of our gentleman's daily routine but actually a journal full of his thoughts on the universe religion our bodies animal life and other miscellaneous subjects. There are almost 100 pages of script and a few wonderful drawings too. The first part of the diary is all about the celestial universe; Jupiter Saturn the Sun the different stars and our Earth. He's drawn a picture of Saturn and also one of the earth and the orbit of the sun. It's so interesting to see someone's view about the universe over 150 years ago. Research suggests Mr. Likely is from New Hampshire from references made about "Tollage for crossing Windsor Bridge during the year ending May 1859". Here are snippets: "This book is intended to be the repository of Biblical subjects with their proofs and conclusions and astronomical calculations and experiments that being written in the front of this diary.The discovery of Herschell was in the year 1811. The pressure of air upon earth is 12048468800000000000 pounds or 5000 billions of tons. The sun is a million of times larger than earth and sends forth light at the rate of 2000000 miles a minute. The earth flies round its aces axis at the rate of 1000 an hour. Flies through space at the rate of 60000 miles an hour.Captain Flinders in one of his voyages saw in a stream which passed before him for an hour and half all covered with ____ the stream was from 50 to 80 yards deep and 300 yards or more bread broad taking his reckoning for it. It would amount to 151 millions and a half and another travels in a different direction seen much more on that.The star Lyra for example is supposed by Sir W. Herschel to be 32275000 miles in diameter or 38 times the diameter of the sun and.The earth is a globe whose diameter is nearly 8000 miles and it's circumference about 25000 and consequently it's surface contains nearly two hundred millions of square miles and.The light of the sun is equal to 6500 candles at a foot distance while the moon would be as one candle at 1 ½ feet Venus at 421 feet and Jupiter at 1320 feet that this immense luminary appears so small to our eyes in owing to it's vast distance." There is so much more not just about the universe but also about the other topics. His handwriting is very beautiful and easy to read. The diary measures about 4" x 6 ½" and the cover especially the outside spine is a bit rough and very worn. as far as condition but the inside pages look great.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; Science Astronomy Celestial Space HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA . hardcover

1854 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LOG BOOK HANDWRITTEN BY AN ILL FATED SAILOR ABOARD A TWO MASTED MERCHANT BRIG PLYING ITS TRADE BETWEEN MAINE AND THE CARIBBEAN

18540008166NEW ENGLAND - THE CARRIBEAN. Good. 1854. On offer is an interesting original manuscript journal detailing a sailor's voyage from New England to the Caribbean during the heyday of the sailing ships. Measuring 7.5 inches by 6 inches it contains 134 pages and is about 20% complete. The cover binding and pages are in good condition and the handwriting is legible. The first journal belongs to D.W. Farnsworth of Machias ME. Casual research has not turned up any additional biographical information other than the fact that he passed away in April 1855. Farnsworth is a sailor working on board coastal commercial sailing ships - what would be referred to today as bulk carriers. His hometown is one of the many New England seaports. His journal begins on Nov 24th 1854: "My first voyage at sea on board brig State of Maine Capt A. Cates." Nov 24. Her cargo is corn and lumber and she is bound for Barbados. His entries detail shipboard life including ship handling and descriptions of weather: Vivid description of people on the docks in Barbados add colour to his entries: "wind increased shorten sail 10 o'clock squally with gusts of rain gulf stream some heavy squalls" Nov 7; "Wind moderate from N.E. Steering S.E by E made Bermuda at 8 o'clock in A.M. run in within 6 or 7 miles of island ten run south west til clear of reef hauled the brig up the wind S.E by E. Wind increased . " Nov 10; ". made Barbados 11 P.M. ."Nov 21; ". the Capt and I stepped into a Darkey Boat alongside and were rowed ashore by 4 of the Blackest Negroes I ever saw. ." Nov 21. They were unable to get a satisfactory price for their corn so they left for Guadeloupe and St. Thomas. This was not an uncommon experience and it was not uncommon for a ship to have to call at another port to try and sell their cargos for a higher price. The journal ends abruptly on Jan 3rd while en route to Louisiana. In 4 months Farnsworth would be dead. This is an excellent example of the brief simple log-keeping that a sailor on the 2 masted merchant brigs would keep. It provides a concise yet clear record of the work in sailing such a ship. For a historian it is another description of life on board a working brig.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 19TH CENTURY 1850S; UNITED STATES; DW FARNSWORTH; SV STATE OF MAINE; MACHIAS ME; MAINE; BARBADOS; GUADELOUPE; ST.

1854 SUPER ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A YOUNG 14 YEAR OLD BOY WHO WOULD SOON GROW TO BE ONE OF NEW YORK CITY'S MOST RENOWNED JURISTS PRESIDING OVER SOME OF THE CITY'S MOST NOTORIOUS CRIMES

18540007005NEW YORK. Good. 1854. On offer is a superb original diary and journal of Rufus B. Cowing a famed Judge in New York City who presided over a number of notorious criminal cases in the years following the American Civil War. He was born in 1840 and received this journal from his uncle in 1854 at the age of 14. At that time he was enrolled in the 'Bash-Bish Institute' a private school in the area of Bash-bish Falls MA. The time period covered extends from 1854 to 1862 with sporadic entries for years in that time span. The first 20 pages detail his day-to-day activities as a student: I was successful in all my lessons. My principal studies are Arithmetic Geography English Grammar German and Latin Grammar. I think I get along with all my studies very well. Aug 11 1854 the day was very pleasant and passed very pleasantly. I rehearsed all of my lessons perfectly on the same day. I received a letter from Uncle James Aug 18 1854. Most of the entries until Nov 3rd of this nature - a young boy attempting to record his daily experiences. His last entry at the school is Nov 3rd: . I don't like the school as much as I did first term.The next 2 pages contain 8 entries from 1857. He is in New York and seeking work - without much success initially. However on May 23rd 1857 he notes beginning work at the Mechanics Bank. On July 21 he writes: I was promoted to Asst Credit Clerk and I must say that I find this work very much harder than I did when I first went there. But I like my situation very much July 21 1857 The next 6 pages contain a dozen or so entries. He frequently expresses of much he likes his work . the more that I am here the more I find that I like it more . Feb 1 1858 He had joined the Letalethean Society and was elected their Corresponding Secretary. He noted on Apr 21 I delivered an oration on the "Character of LaFayette" May 25 1859 1859 has just one entry: Today I handed in my resignation to the Letalethean Society which it was accepted and I was voted an honorary membership May 25 1859 The next 2 pages consist of summary of the year 1859-1860 since he left the bank. He went to work at a leather shop and spent time travelling as far west as Chicago. Considering the outstanding career he would create for himself the sole entry of 1862 marks an important turning point: . commenced to read law with the law firm of Niles and Bagley. This is an outstanding glimpse into the early life of a famed New York City judge who in his 28 years on the bench presided over some of the city's most sensational criminal and corruption cases. A historian would find this a fascinating read as it offers an insight into how the character of this man was shaped. The diary is leather bound and measures 7 in by 6 in.
