Notebook of Tristram Gilman, 1757-1761.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/589198713

The volume, interleaved in an engagement calendar, holds a variety of handwritten notes including account information, transcriptions of biblical passages and related observations, travel information, community news, weather, and astronomy. Begun while Gillman was completing his senior year at Harvard in 1757, it includes a list of some of the members of the Class of 1761. It also has some references to his students from his time as a teacher. The volume does not follow a chronological order, and instead seems to have been repurposed at various times, initially used in 1757 to copy down facts about astronomy, focused especially on planetary distance and size, and religious questions. Entries from 1759-1761 include board accounting charts, as well as short notes about travel, students, and daily events.
