Notebooks, 1823-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259585

This collection consists of four commonplace books, for the period 1823 to 1864. They contain remembrance verses written on the occasion of graduation and signed by school friends, verses written by relatives and friends in later years, and poetry written by Mary Crosby Page on such topics as "The Sky" and "The Lover's Serenade," in addition to quotations from Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) and other poets. Mary Page included several color-sketches of flowers and birds, and her sister Martha wrote brief stanzas concerning each monarch of England beginning with William the Conqueror. The collection also includes a commonplace book, for the year 1853, kept by one Martha Page ( - ), probably a relative, while she was a student at Bradford Female Seminary in Bradford, Mass.
