Amherst College Commencement program, 1836 August 24 The proper study of mankind is man Brooks, Sidney, 1813-1887 Sidney Brooks oration regarding the nature of man, especially in regards to spirituality. Brooks argues that the fundamental doctrines of religion are an inherent part of human nature. This essay is presumed to be related to Brooks' studies at Phillips Academy or Amherst College. The proper study of mankind is man Copy of Heman Humphrey letter to Henry C. Towner, 1824 March 31 Humphrey, Heman, 1779-1861 Heman Humphrey letter to Collegiate Institution student Henry C. Towner in which Humphrey writes regarding Towner's alleged paternity of the child of Eliza, the maid of Mrs. Moore (presumably Phebe Moore). Humphrey writes that he has received Towner's letter of the 24th and that he has no way of deciding as of yet whether or not Towner is innocent in the matter. He states that he has been told that Eliza has persisted in declaring that the child is Towner's and that as the case now stands he does not see how Towner could be again received as a member of this Institution. However, he writes that should Towner come down and convince the faculty of his innocence, his application for admission would stand on the same ground as other applicants of fair character. Humphrey asks if Towner is member of Williams College as he thinks Towner's name is in their catalogue. He also states that he must be clear that, should Towner fail to satisfy the faculty of his innocence, he should not consider this letter as proof that he can be received at the Collegiate Institution. The letter is noted as "a true copy." Copy of Heman Humphrey letter to Henry C. Towner, 1824 March 31 Gazetter [sic] of the world One of the longer works by the Nelson brothers, "The Gazetter of the World" is formatted like real reference works the boys would have seen. With a cover page, a subject index, a preface by the editor and appendixes for maps and statistics, the volume gives ample evidence of the Nelson brothers' careful attention to the details of their imaginary world. Included are detailed entries describing the places that feature prominently in their fictional works. The text is enhanced by finely done ink drawings which, as the unnamed editor explains in the preface, "help to show to the readers the lands through which they pass in their reading."

A carol closing sixty-nine William Wordsworth letter to William Jackson, 1829 March 10 Wordsworth, William, 1770-1850 A letter to Reverend William Jackson dictated and signed by William Wordsworth and written by his daughter Dora Wordsworth in which Wordsworth congratulates Jackson on his recent engagement. Wordsworth also describes everyday matters in the Wordsworth family and in the surrounding neighborhood, including Dora's recent sickness, his own poor eyesight, his sister's improving condition, and his sons' education and work. He thanks Jackson for helping John in his efforts to find a position. Additionally, Wordsworth discusses the state of the Church and mentions that he will save some of his thoughts on the topic until he sees Jackson and his bride in person. Although the letter is dated March 10, the postmark appears to be May 11, 1829.
