The first six diaries belong to Caroline Lucinda Tappan Carr. She was born in 1819 in Bradford NH and passed away in 1898 at the age of 79. Her father was Weare Tappan a noted Merrimack County resident a lawyer and anti-slavery lecturer whose house served a home for fugitive slaves. She was the second of 7 children and was quite close to her siblings throughout her life. Her elder brother was Mason Weare Tappan 1817-1886 a New Hampshire state representative a U.S. Congressman from 1855 to 1861 a colonel during the American Civil War and the New Hampshire Attorney General. She was married to Daniel Carr from Newbury Massachusetts. These diaries were written when she was 49 50 51 63 65 and 82. Over these 33 years the reader gets a remarkable picture of this woman's life and the environment in which she lived. Caroline Carr is a literate and educated woman. She enjoys reading and participating in literary events such as attending plays. This is reflected in her diaries as they are well-written and expressive. Life in post civil war New England is not easy. Her diaries record the deaths of many friends and family members and her entries reflect the pain those caused her. She remained very very close to her daughter Kate and son Frank and their spouses after they were married. She was active in her community and took part in many activities. Among the various groups she was associated with were the Masonic Order most likely through her husband and the Temperance Movement. The following excerpts are taken from entries over a number of years: 'Splendid morning! - Abby Morse and Frank to dinner - Sue Sanborn came at night everyone had a good time played backgammon Bob went out to join the Good Templars" Jan 7 1868; "Squally Lorrie went to Manchester to see Mary. Staid with Pa nearly all day talked of dead mother. Oh how we missed her! Big sleigh ride from Willsboro - Evening we danced at the Hall. James Presly called to bid us goodbye" Feb 6 1868; "Snowstorm. Went out to Helen's. Kate went out to help trim the Hall for the Ball. Evening - made for the lodge. Kate went to rehearsal. I made regalia for G.T. Staid down with Pa all night". Feb 17 1868; "Rain. Tired enough of it! Cannot help having the Blues! Have lost sight entirely of my 'Castles in Spirit" ." Mar 20 1868; "Rain. Glad to be in my chamber all day with Kate - read aloud!! "Currents and Counter Currents in Medical Science" by O.W. Holmes Kate and Dr C played chess July 24 1868. Dr. C is Dr. Charles Augustus Carlton whom her daughter Kate would later marrying. The year ended with a melancholy sigh and a hopeful note: "Last day of the year! So many sad days to remember. Some dear friends gone that we mourn for daily. But some good friends that we have found that I trust will always remain . " Dec 31 1868; "121/2 o'clock Kate and I have watched the old year out and the new one in. Wished each other a Happy New Year. Reach one chapter Matt 6 and went to bed" Jan 1 1869; "Splendid day! Such a sunshine! Frank came over after me with Dr. & Kate. So glad to see them! Evening - went up to the party with Mr. & Mrs. Fowler for a short time." Feb 12 1869. She might refer to a prominent New Hampshire lawyer Asa Fowler and his wife. "Snow in big drifts yet. So terrible staying in the house. Great time with hair combs - fun enough with Kate evening played chess" Apr 14 1869; "Never saw such beautiful weather. All went to ride. Dr. And Mrs. Thurston called - but I felt sad - had a good cry after they were gone" Jan 21 1870; "High winds. I did not sleep well last night. I had a long cry over my letter from Kate and Dr. I cannot bear the idea of his going away". Mar 2 1870; "Went out to Helen's to help dear Charlie pack up his things. It was sad because I tried not to cry but my heart ached so!" Apr 30 1870. 'Charlie' could refer to her young brother. "Beautiful day. Mrs. Donnelly washing. I am so tired trotting round! No end to the care. Not much time to read or sew. - all housework - I hate it!" Oct 24 1870; "Beautiful morning All ready to start for home with Kate and Baby. Arrived at the dear old home about 5 o'clock. Found Grandpa Nellie and Mason with his span of greys at the depot ready to take us up. Everything seems so pleasant and everybody so glad to see us. Baby has been so happy" Apr 12 1882; "Kate and darling Frankie came today. Oh how happy I am to see them". July 28 1882. Frankie was her grandson and only grandchild. He grew up to become a doctor like his father. "Very cold. The Dr. took us all up to Boston to the Theatre - "Domby & Son" a play based on the Charles Dickens novel Dombey & Son" to celebrate his 51 st birthday. We had a good time all together. I wish we could have many more". Feb 27 1892. Her last diary reflects her age 83. ". I enjoy reading. My eyes trouble me. I wish I could read all the time as I go out so little very slippery and many are breaking their bones. I am afraid I will be laid up for life" Jan 11 1902. "Am quite alone this morning and feel like writing what is in my mind. What is my greatest desire that Helen her daughter in law will be ever kind to George Blaisdell Blaisdell is most likely Helen's sister's husband If his health fails and he cannot support his family let him go down to the home farm and live for I know that would have been his Grandfather's wish. I think what money I have will pay my board and bills as according to the course of nature I cannot be here but a short time longer ." June 12 1902. These 5 diaries are a remarkable record of this woman's life. They are very well-written. The next diary in the collection belonged to her daughter-in-law Helen Frances Carr for the year 1884. Her diary is a record of the daily events in her life. She spends her days cleaning sewing and cooking. She certainly visits around with family and close friends. As one would expect in many entries she references the same family members and friends that her mother-in-law Caroline mentions in her diaries: "Another rainy day knitting and sewing Mrs Ropes called went out for walk ." Feb 12 1884; "Celebrating all day with firecrackers . Georgie came up and spent the day. In evening fireworks down in the little square with lots of people to see them. A good time. Rained in the night." July 4 1884; "A cool beautiful day. George gone to church. Mother rode up to the Howlett place with father to see the cattle. Uncle and I took a drive in town. Called at our house. Also Aunt Mary's" July 20 1884; "Frank commenced work in the store. I suppose he dreads it but I am glad he gets the chance to earn a little" Aug 4 1884. The next diary in the collection is Frank Carr's journal of 1888. Considering that he gave both his wife Helen and his mother Caroline their diaries as gifts over the years his diary is rather sparse. The entries are exclusively business entries - records of stock taken sales made and accounts: "Note against Frank M Tappan for $36.75 Check 71882 payable to Daniel Carr ." Jan 29 1888; "Christmas trade over and I finished up my work at the store for Will tonight. Had a large and very successful Christmas sale" Dec 28 1888. In addition he has a very detailed list of cash expenses. The last diary in the collection belongs to John Harriman Collins. It records events in his life during 1876. John Harriman Collins was the father of Helen Frances Collins the wife of Frank Tappan Carr. Collins was born in Warner NH in 1815 and passed away in 1900 at the age of 85.He was 61 when he kept this diary. Collins is a farmer and his days are filled with the hard work involved in running his farm: "Cold and windy I went to Bradford to cary pig to F.M Tappan's. Weight of pig 223 1/2 lbs at 10 cts per lb $22.35 by order from Gillinghan the butcher" Jan 4 1876; "Weather pleasant I went the village to carry EP refers to his wife Esther P to the School Examination. Come home and mended my Buffalow Buffalow refers to the buffalo coat a heavy winter garment made from the hide of a bison and split some wood" Feb 18 1876; "Rain and pleasant thawing very fast water rising I boiled sap in the forenoon a man came along going to North Sutton wanted me to carry him across the deep water water up to the bottom of the waggon water up to the barn still rising" Apr 15 1876. In the back of his diary he keeps a ledger recording cash transactions and expenditures. The remaining 2 volumes are account books. Spanning 17 years they detail hundreds and hundreds of dollars of income and expenses - from taxes $21.53 for 1902 to groceries $7.61. He also records the account balances for many people the stare presumably did business with. He invested his money and there are numerous entries for purchases of share certificates. Taken as a whole these diaries offer a fascinating glimpse into the life of a family and through them their community. They are very well-written and convey real warmth and feeling. Collins diary gives a very detailed description of the many daily tasks involved in operating a farm at this time. The entire collection is a treasure trove for a historian. It is an excellent resource for a genealogist as so many people are referenced by their full names. As the diaries cover over 30 years many relationships can be charted. With diaries from several family members the relationship connections are woven throughout. It is valuable for examining the role of women in the latter part of the 19th century as it follows the life and experiences of the women who wrote them and the women they knew. The financial data gives an excellent picture of the cost of items over a 17 year period. This is an excellent collection.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 19TH CENTURY; 20TH CENTURY; UNITED STATES; NEW ENGLAND; NEW HAMPSHIRE; MERRIMACK COUNTY; CAROLINE TAPPAN CARR; FRANK TAPPAN CARR JOHN HARRIMAN COLLINS; HELEN FRANCES CARR BRADFORD NH; HOPKINTON NH; MERRIMACK COUNTY GENEALOGY; SOCIAL LIFE IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY; AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE MID- AND LATE 19TH CENTURY; NEW ENGLAND 19TH CENTURY LAWYERS; NEW ENGLAND FAMILIES IN THE 19TH CENTURY; FARMERS IN 19TH CENTURY NEW ENGLAND; FARMING OPERATIONS IN 1880S; ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY; AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

CAROLINE LAURA RICE
1885 ORIGINAL GROUP OF THREE 3 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE WIFE OF NOTED REVEREND WILLIAM RICE
SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1885. On offer is an interesting group of three 3 original manuscript diaries for 1885 1886 and 1887 handwritten as identified in two of the three books by C. L. Rice of Springfield Massachusetts. Research leaves little doubt that this was Caroline Laura Rice wife of Reverend William Rice. The noteworthy see the BIO NOTES below Reverend Rice was born on March 10th about 1821 and Caroline born in 1820. While she did not write every day between the three books there are about 373 pages making for them an average of one third full each. Illness may have played a part in this as it seems that Caroline is crippled in a wheel chair and in some way; at least it seems that way during the time these diaries were written. She notes that they carried her up stairs in her new chair. Then through 1885 and 1886 the doctor visits and recommends a "rubber" who is plainly a masseuse who frequently gives her massages. That said she is 65 years old and perhaps her aging is advanced. Here are some snippets: 1885 "Miriam came up with the two boys. Horace is to sit for a crayon picture. They stop at "the other house" but were over to tea
.We had Horace's picture home from Mrs. Parmalee's for our criticisms. Mrs. J. and Rachel came over to see it

CAROLYN R MOORE
1905-06 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY AND TRAVEL JOURNAL OF A YOUNG WOMAN OF MEANS AND THE PREJUDICES OF THE DAY - EARLY DESCRIPTION OF THE DAYTONA CAR RACE
PLAINFIELD NEW JERSEY NJ DAYTONA FLORIDA FL. Good. 1905. On offer is the very interesting travel journal and diary of Carolyn R. Moore from Plainfield New Jersey. She is a young woman of means her family owns a hotel where Carolyn works very hard but uncomplainingly and possesses the common prejudices of the day writes from 1905 - 1906. This is a densely written diary wherein Carolyn writes intense detailed accounts of family friends daily activities local gossip and various trips via ship road and train from Daytona Florida to St. Augustine a stop at Sandy Hook during a storm at sea a trip to Atlantic City NJ New York and others but this is also a portrait of the times for good and bad. Main portions appear to be written while in Daytona Florida with some time spent enjoying the beach. Carolyn has a keen and observant eye which provides for super passages about one of the early races and the large crowds in Daytona Florida viewing the auto "races" on the beach. Carolyn also has an eye for nuance - she writes of particular hat; "it's not pretty but it is fetching." She also writes vivid descriptions of an automobile accident with injuries and a chauffeur being killed social outings/dances shopping for the latest woman's fashion including abandoning her "corset" for a chemise reading cooking pies and making candy sewing music lessons various local accommodations dinners with family and friends and her snobbish opinions of the people she meets aboard ship. On the bad side we read several comments that reflect racial attitudes including casual references to "the black church" "dark skin" or seeing "some coon do stunts." Here are more snippets: "Mr Wooley called and ate a plate of my cake. Went over to the beach by the south bridge & I came home on my wheel with Eleanor Gordon and Miss Anderson. Saw several racers among them Vanderbilts winners of last year. An awful accident up toward Ormond - Richard Croker's son injured his chaffeur killed & man on motorcycle legs broken." "Mr. Sharb came over at 10 with the horses. Mine is a great black brute. Cath's a cute pony. He made us mount & we tore off. It was fierce." "The cottage is cute with 2 bedrooms 2 parlors & a basement kitchen and dining room combined. Finished my leaf and holly pillow. Aunt Mag's 7th wedding anniversary." "Great crowds on the beach. We saw Mr & Mrs Alfred G. Vanderbilt at close range. Very young. The Ormond is packed - the racing didn't seem to be fully underway yet. Letter from ." "Went to Sunnyside for dinner as usual and all walked to the foot washing over in Midway at the colored church. Great time & a big crowd of white people. Ma came home after 9 & didn't see the great event. But the preaching was really funny. Glorious night." "Pleasant day - I started to hemstitch a white waist. Letters from Chanters." "Quite cool. I made a pair of unmentionables & walked downtown at 3" "I took a walk along the river - went to Grant's Tomb & strolled on down. Picked up a couple of cute fellow - exchanged cards." "Left on the 841 - spent the day shopping. Went over to Roseville at 4." "He wanted me to go to Coney with him - said he'd come down to Pat in his "Cadillac" sometime. Very pleasant but quite old - at least 40." "Letter from Puss. She spoke of looking for an apartment downtown - none fit to live in less than $180 or $200 a month." "Next to slave mart - old city gates. Fort Marion & the stores - had a bath in the swimming pool at the Alcazar - Cute office clerk here & another rubberneck. I got some postals. Took the 10 to Jacksonville.went to the boat I stayed up til 11:30 waiting for the trunks." "Sailed at 6 - Spent the day on the decks - couple of men talked to me. The porter is very decent." "Fine day. Met nice girls from N.Y. Talked to them.Very good looking high class Germans. We walked the decks a good deal - played cards etc. A bum crowd on the boat. Hotel help going north etc. Very few decent people." "Several orange trees in the back yard but we are only allowed to pick the sour ones." "This morning I baked a 4 layer chocolate cake and a cherry pie. Latter especially good.I made fudge - best in a long while." "Rode around a good deal - made two cakes.Went down to see some coon do stunts. Saw some of the racing machines too." "Lovely day. We didn't go to the beach as they said the real racing didn't start today. Rode around some on my wheel." "Made 2 cherry pies and got drivers for Aunt M's family - Ma & I went to the train to see them all off. Aunt Ida goes north & the rest to Braidentown.Letters from Puss Curley Jim Moore and L.R. Brown. Hurrah!" Diary is leather bound with pencil holder on the inside. Small strap slides through band on cover to hold closed.

CARPANI Giuseppe
LE HAYDINE OVVERO LETTERE SU LA VITA E LE OPERE DEL CELEBRE MAESTRO GIUSEPPE HAYDN. Dedicate al R. Conservatorio di Musica di Milano.
In-8 p. (mm. 206x125), mz. pelle coeva con ang. (lievi abras. ai piatti), fregi e tit. oro al dorso, pp. VIII,298, con 2 tavv. f.t. che raffigurano contorni di alcune medaglie. Importante biografia di Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809). Le “Haydine” costituiscono uno dei primi esempi, e tra i più insigni, di critica musicale intesa modernamente. Manca il ritratto del grande musicista. "Prima edizione". Cfr. Fetis,III, p. 55-56: “Ces lettres intéressantes sont écrites d’un style élégant et pittoresque” “Giuseppe Carpani (1752-1825), librettista e musicologo; poeta di corte a Vienna, oltre a libretti, musicati da F. Paer, F.W. Rust, J. Weigl, scrisse "Le Haydine", plagiate dallo Stendhal.”, cosi’ Diz. Treccani,II, p. 814. Fresco esemplare ben conservato.
