Fletcher, John, 1579-1625. and Townley, James, 1714-1778.
A commonplace book containing lists of toasts, dances, songs and quotations assembled by Christopher Finn. A section entitled "Elegant extracts" appears to be an extract from "The unfashionable wife. A novel" (published in London, 1772), perhaps to be used for recitation. The section "Matter for letters" contains suggests for well-turned phrases for the beginning, middle, and 'subscription'. The last page contains instructions to the person who might find this volume, promising a reward; he provides not only his own address but those of two friends, one in Birmingham and one London and a note to his friends assuring them than he will re-imburse them the price of postage and the reward to the finder, clear evidence of how important this volume was to the author
