Michael Coady, John Murphy, A Notebook.

The article discusses a notebook from mid-19th-century Newfoundland and Labrador obtained by the author. Its physical description is presented, followed by its contents, which indicate it was owned or used by at least two people in Newfoundland, Michael Coady of St. John's and John Murphy of Chapel's Cove. The surveyor's notes taking up most of the pages are described, as is a section entitled "1848 Catalogue of Books," followed by a list of works, seen as indicating an exception to the dominant oral tradition of the day.
