Diary extracts, 1846-1861.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207174680

This volume contains brief, intermittent excerpts from Teulon's diary, in Charles Knowles Bolton's hand. Apparently Teulon's great-granddaughter, Mrs. Paul Scheffler, of Newark, Ohio, (owner of the diary) sent Bolton copies of the excerpts in 1941, and he copied them into this volume. Included are entries concerning Teulon's attendance at lectures given by Horace Mann (1796-1859) and Theodore Parker (1810-1860), references to the uproar in Boston in 1854 over fugitive slave Anthony Burns (1834-1862), Teulon's frindship with Rev. William Henry Ryder (1822-1888), minister of the First Universalist Society of Roxbury, Massachusetts, and entries relative to various family events as well as a brief genealogical study.
