Abstract
This is a composition booklet, wrapped in a sheet of paper (used as a cover), for "Superior Mercantile Post. Manufactured for Tappan & Whittemore, Booksellers and Stationers, No. 114, Washington Street, Boston." Inside are several essays, all in the same hand, not signed or dated. These apparently were all done for the East Dennis Lyceum. The essays are entitled: "Written for the East Dennis Lyceum," "Scandal & Slander," "A few hints on the abuse of tobacco," "On Women's Rights," and "For the Lyceum." The pages are not numbered in the original, but are in the transcription.
