Richard Wayne Stites notebook, [ca. 1822].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53210192

This collection consists of one notebook of lecture notes, taken by Richard Wayne Stites while he was studying law at the Litchfield Law School of Litchfield, Connecticut. He is listed as attending and graduating the school in 1722, although it is not known if the notes date from previous years (it appears that the program was only one year in duration). The notebook originally existed as loose sheets, but these were later bound together, with an index to each section, perhaps by Stites himself, although this too not known.
