1880'S ANNIE REED'S AUTOGRAPH BOOK

I SPENT A HAPPY HOUR OR TWO PERUSING THE PAGES OF THIS FASCINATING DIARY FROM THE VICTORIAN ERA. ANNIE REED HAD MANY FRIENDS, AND THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO SIGNED HER AUTOGRAPH BOOK ARE MANY OF THE OLDEST FAMILY NAMES IN HAMILTON SQUARE, YARDVILLE, EDGEBROOK, BORDENTOWN, AND ALLENTOWN: CUBBERLEY, NUTT, HAMMELL, HUGHES, ROBBINS...THEY'RE ALL THERE.
