Journal of Charles Bonaventure Scully, 1843.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/302421038

In his journal, Scully writes about his daily activities, social activities, and legal cases. One of the cases concerned a boat that exploded, killing many people. His details include a story about a box of hats on the ship. The box was thrown into the water and due to the great number of hats floating in the river, witnesses assumed that many more people had drowned. Overall, the journal covers many repetitive activities including going to church, meeting friends, presenting to the Supreme Court, and receiving payments. Scully's handwriting is sometimes difficult to discern.
