18675032England 1867. Full sheep embossed in blind with gilt to front board measuring 200 x 160mm and comprised of 155 manuscript pages. A gift inscription to the front pastedown reads "Frances Phoebe Newton A Present from her Mother Mrs. A. Morley. July 31st 1841." On the first page Phoebe has created a formal title page: "Phoebe Newton's Album. July 31st 1841." A dense and research-rich piece in which a young woman documents her reading from a variety of sources including collections of poetry popular magazines and circulars church sermons and oral stories within her community. Potential projects include but are not limited to Victorian reading practices women's reading the intersection of popular and evangelical literatures genealogy and paleaography.<br /> <br /> Within her commonplace book Phoebe gravitates toward poetry and short anecdotes in which the narrating voice calmly uses rhetoric and logic to undermine non-believers or convert doubters. Her faith is the underlying basis for each selection -- even when celebrating a royal marriage or waxing on Queen Victoria's leadership. Early selections such as Doctor Watts and Collins the Freethinker focus on how Christians unshaken in their faith can lead by calm example responding to criticism or even outright scorn by gesturing to the value of their interior relationship to God rather than to any external possessions. Doctor Watts for example responds to a coffeehouse stranger's "contempt at his diminutive appearance" with a short verse concluding "I must be measured by my soul -- The mind's the standard of the man." Similarly Collins the Freethinker "once met a plain countryman going to church" and attempted to confound him by asking about God's size. The countryman's participation in the dialogue -- and his embrace of contradiction -- impress and convert the Freethinker. "He is so great that the heaven of heaven cannot contain Him; and so little that He can dwell in my heart." In this sense Phoebe reveals in addition to her evangelical beliefs an attraction to literary realism. Rather than gravitating to soaring sentimentalism and romance the works gathered here often rely on dialogue and daily settings presenting a realistic world with idealized social outcomes. <br /> <br /> Phoebe's selections come from a variety of sources which speaks to the array of material she had contact with. Some uncredited pieces appear to be stories from sermons or overheard among family. Many include Victorian writers such as Cowper and Toplady. Still others come from popular regional magazines such as the Norfolk Chronicle and the Gospel Standard. More work could be done to identify where she and her family resided and what schooling she had access to. Additional work could be done on at least one other hand in the book several times signed John Newton and potentially her husband given that her mother Mrs. Morley gifts her the book under the name Newton. unknown

It was a publication by Arthur Thomas Malkin and the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge SDUK. The SDUK was founded in 1826 mainly at the instigation of Lord Brougham with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching or who preferred self-education.

18895358Boston: B. Wilkins & Co. Printers 1889. Octavo 19.5 x 13.25 cm. 64 ii pages. Advertisements. Title on cover: Housekeeper's Hand Book. Index is actually a table of contents. FIRST EDITION. A church recipe collection with two hundred brief entries all attributed. A straightforward chapter of standards called Fancy Dishes claims center stage: Charlotte Russe Strawberry Blanc-Mange Orange Pudding Lemon Creams Jellied Peaches. Shortly after the organization of the first Methodist Episcopal congregation in what is now Newton Upper Falls a private home was purchased by a benefactor and transferred - in 1836 - to the trustees of the First Methodist Episcopal Society of Newton for use as a place of worship. In 1889 the congregants would have celebrated a semi-centenary but in the event the purpose for the fundraiser has not as of this writing been discovered nor is the later disposition of that first church recorded. Several miles west of Boston Newton is a decentralized city made up of thirteen villages seven of which saw the establishment of Methodist Episcopal Churches either before or soon after the Civil War. An echo of their stately façades fades in old photographs; to the extent that there are descendent congregations they converge in a functionalist space as the United Methodist Church of Newton.
