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 is marked “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.
