Overview and metadata sections
Ronne's accounts reveal that he did work in gold smelts and brass analyses and also taught French. Most of book remains blank suggesting that he only used the book for a few months and then discarded it. One page of the notebook written in pencil and headed Mar. 14 is in a different hand and records measurements for a man's suit, suggesting that a book was in someone else's hands at one point.
This item is a 4.5 x 7 inch wallet style black morocco pocket memorandum book. Most of the pages in the book remain blank, but there are ten pages containing a record of Ronne's expenses from November 1879 through March 1880. After a break of several pages there follows a thirty-two page hand written formulary containing pharmaceutical recipes and household tips, including some on dyes and dyeing.
