Notebook of Samuel Barton Worthington

This notebook appears to have been used by S. B. Worthington as a commonplace book, but it also contains a cash account of 1815 which presumably refers to another family member. The notebook has been used from both sides. The front cover is labelled “1807 Lectures Revd. R. Aspland at Gravel Pit Meeting, 1833-5 Sundry notes chemical &c. S. B. W.” and the first page is marked “S. Barton Worthington, Feby. 1st 1833.” It contains the following: "Lectures to the young attending the Gravel Pit meeting, by the Revd. R. Aspland. 8 Nov. 1807"; "Extracts from Goldsmith’s history of Rome" (1 entry only); "Grand Junction Railway" (notes on the route, viaducts, etc.); "Railway from Lancashire to Glasgow" (notes on the route); pencil notes on various other railway routes.

The back cover is marked with a decorative design, and the inside cover and first page are both marked “S. B. Worthington.” This half of the book contains the following: Cash account (mainly detailing materials used in the manufacture of clothing), June-July 1815; pencil notes and drawings on human anatomy; a list of the present rulers (kings) of Europe; "Extracts from Chemical Amusements by Frederick Accum."
