Notebook of Christina Struthers entitled 'Household Inventories and Commonplace Book'., 1864-1875.
The volume contains:
lists of household goods, 1864-1868 (folio 1);
a few diary entries, 1871 (folio 16);
an account of a visit to Braemar, 1873 (folios 24, 58);
an account of a tour in Switzerland, 1873 (folio 30);
and various literary, religious, and social observations, 1864-1875.
Some leaves were loose in the volume, and have been tipped in (folios 58-75); of these, folio 75 is an apparently unrelated recipe dated 1935.
Notebook ruled for cash, which was used for legal notes, elementary French exercises and as a commonplace book (folios 2-12, 1-34 verso inverted). The entries, the latest of which is dated 1739, are written mostly in Byrom`s system of shorthand, which was not published until 1767.
The owner, who remains unidentified, was a young man, probably of wealthy family, studying law, possibly at one of the Inns of Court in London. Pages have been torn out after folios 11, 12 and 13 inverted; folios 30-34 are written sideways. The volume, which was received without the original covers, was unintentionally rebound upside-down, and incorrectly labelled on the spine ‘French Commonplace Book’.
