Lady Augusta Murray
The collection consists of four commonplace books, one book of cures, a booklet of copied excerpts from Voltaire's plays, and a printed book.
Volumes GEO/ADD/51/1-4a consist of commonplace books in which Lady Augusta copied excerpts from other texts as well as her own thoughts, and thus provide us with a unique window into her interior life between 1785 and 1810. The first, choronologically, appears to be GEO/ADD/51/3, which is labelled 'Vol. 5th' which appears to mostly date from 1785-1792, but has annotations to 1797. GEO/ADD/51/1 appears to date from around 1789. GEO/ADD/51/4a, which is labelled 'Vol. 6th' appears to date from 1796, but has annotations up to 1810. GEO/ADD/51/2 appears to date from 1802-1805.
GEO/ADD/51/4b contains copies of Voltaire's plays, and is undated, though the last play was published 1778, so we assume this was copied between this date and Lady Augusta's death.
GEO/ADD/51/5 is Lady Augusta Murray's book of cures, which contains treatments and cures for ailments and conditions, and contains entries dating from 1794 to 1812.
GEO/ADD/51/6 is a printed volume, 'Secresy; or, the Ruin on the Rock', Vol. 1.
