The Brown material described here consists of twelve octavo volumes. One volume is a small receipt book for the period 1830 to 1837; a second volume lists, together with some miscellaneous accounts, the title and author of more than 1200 volumes in his personal library in 1835, together with a list of books bought principally at auction after 1814; a third volume contains manuscript poetry written by Brown (largely under the pen-name Aureus Fuscus) and intended chiefly for children or for religious uplift; a fourth volume contains volume II of his Grammatical Collections (started around 1825) which later was incorporated into The Grammar of English Grammars; and a fifth volume also contains Grammatical Collections (volume III) later incorporated into his great work, along with Rules of Cliff Street School, New York, 1820. The remaining seven volumes are heavily annotated copies of Brown's First Lines of English Grammar, duplicate of his 1854 revision; the Institutes of English Grammar, duplicate of his 1854 revision; a memorandum of errors discovered in the stereotype proof-sheets of The Grammar of English Grammars, 1856-1857; the last proof-sheets of his Grammar of English Grammars (1851); proof-sheets of the Institutes of English Grammar (1831) that were used to prepare The Grammar of English Grammars; proof-sheets of the Institutes of English Grammar (1830), fourth edition; and the last proof-sheets of his Grammar of English Grammars printed in Boston in 1850 and 1851, first part.
