Diaries, 1749/50 ; 1772.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207112102

The first diary, for the year 1749/50, is interleaved in an unidentified almanac. It contains brief, "line a day" entries and suggests that Baldwin taught school, possibly in Sudbury, Mass., before attending Harvard College. This diary also touches on public discipline of wayward Harvard students, as well as mentioning Baldwin's movements, fastdays, etc. The second diary, interleaved in Nathaniel Low's An Astronomical Diary; Or, Almanack, for 1772 (Boston: Kneeland and Adams, 1771), contains far fewer entries, largely recording dates of planting, though there are also twenty-four pages of accounts of Baldwin for the year 1772.

1 v. (2 interleaved almanacs bound together, 86 p.) ; octavo.
