http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/155904575

Letter tipped in dated 22 October 1923 from Edgar Fahs Smith to E.W. Mumford, secretary of the University of Pennsylvania, describes this notebook as "evidently the notes of a student who heard chemistry here in the University somewhere before 1774. I have compared the handwriting with that of Provost William Smith. They are very much alike, and it is possible that these are notes of the old Doctor." First leaf is missing. Subjects include the effects of fire, solutions, attractions, fusion.
