Record book, 1854-1855.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207164761

This volume, 1854-1855, was kept by Benjamin Perley Poore as a record of his plans to publish Archives of the Press, an illustrated history of the American press. The volume contains a printed prospectus, clippings from various newspapers promoting the publication, and a brief list of subscribers. There is also a page which contains a list of people to whom Poore sent a prospectus or a note of thanks for their assistance. There is also a loose page of blank receipts of the American Sentinel office in Washington, D.C., and a loose newsclipping. Although Poore worked on the Archives of the Press for ten years, apparently it was never published.

1 v. (122 leaves, 103 blank, with 2 loose items) ; octavo.
