Two antique penmanship notebooks today, because my love and quest for these never ends, each one interesting in its own way. I do believe this one, completed by a Thomas Fuller in 1857, is the first I've found with a series of misspellings though--most poignantly in the repetition of "To learn to write is important, espesially [sic] well." It also includes some unusual sentences as far as my experience with these, such as "The globe on which we live is a planet," "Whoever forgets a benefit is an enemy to society," "Many men live as though they were born in pleasures," and, especially "Build with thy icy hand tombs for the dead." But of course my favorite is a full page of "amend."
8 1/4" x 6 1/2", 11 leafs filled front and back (except the last verso blank) + cover. Good condition, much better in hand than photos convey. Most but not all pages pictured. Readable throughout, with ink a bit less strong on last few pages.
