Scope and Content

A scrapbook, begun in 1850 by the Rev. John Williams, entitled 'The Museum of Literature', containing press cuttings, [19 cent, second ½], relating mostly to current affairs, politics, notable figures, temperance and Sunday closing, and health and welfare. The majority of the cuttings appear to have been taken from The Illustrated London News.
Cuttings have been pasted in by Williams on pp. 1-215. Further items have been inserted loose in the remainder of the volume, while some 270 cuttings, mainly of more local interest, have been placed in archival envelopes.
