Portée et contenu

Sixteen commonplace books compiled by Lord Houghton, as well as a collection of items with a definite connection to the books, such as stray leaves. Note that many other notes and jottings elsewhere in the collection may have been made with the commonplace books in mind.

Contents of the books include autograph fragments by George Sand, A. C. Swinburne and Coventry Patmore; there are also transcripts - some copied from unpublished originals - of writings by Lord Byron, Robert Burns, Branwell Bronte, Lord Tennyson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Beau Brummell, William Cobbett, the Duke of Wellington and others.

          Archivist's note

          Originally catalogued as a sort of appendix to the papers in HOUG/1-45, when they were assigned the classmarks Houghton 201-216. They have now been assembled in chronological order and re-catalogued to form a separate section within the previously uncatalogued part of the collection.
