Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contain a commonplace book that was created during Thomas Weld’s time at Harvard University. The front half of the book contains notes on various subjects and topics, mostly of a religious nature. The back half is a small glossary of terms in alphabetical order. Of note is that different handwriting appears in the latter half of the book; it is presumed that the first half is written in Weld’s handwriting. It is unknown who else may have written in this book. Most of the text within the volume is English, however, there are also some notes written in modern Greek.
