A commonplace book attributed to Mary Beck Goddard (1789-1825). It includes quotes, poems, calligraphy, and artwork by the owner, Mary Beck Goddard, and her friends. Some later additions are thought to have been added by or for her daughter, Mary Goddard Carson. Dates range from 1822 to 1832, but most entries are undated.
