Collection of notebooks of various sizes belonging to Samuel Vaughan and perhaps other members of the Vaughan family, at least some dating from Samuel Vaughan's studies under Joseph Priestley at the Dissenters' Academy in Warrington. Pedagogical content of the notebooks, many of which are used from both ends and most of which are not filled, include notes from lectures on subjects such as historical chronology, grammar, and elocution; exercises in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry; and excerpts from sermons and historical and literary works. The notebooks also include copies of one letter each to Joseph Priestley and Samuel's brother Benjamin Vaughan. One volume is a receipt book. Loose items laid in the notebooks include copies of poems and a list of books with initials representing members of the Vaughan family next to different titles.
