Valerius Probus (Roman Grammarian, c. 20/30-105 AD), De juris notarum, [Italy] ,copy of a classical text of abbreviations, the introduction acephalous (‘//que in monumentis plurimis et historiarum libris sacrisque publicis reperiuntur’ - lacking the equivalent of 10 lines), the list of abbreviations complete. Entries are arranged alphabetically (by first letter only). A few later scribbles (including simple calculations) in the margins. Entries in 2 columns (of up to 21 lines): the first containing the abbreviations, the second the expanded equivalent. The abbreviations are written in a mixed alphabet of capital and minuscule forms (an enlarged letter heading each new alphabetical block). The expansions are in a neat humanist cursive minuscule (with one contemporary addition in a more informal cursive, 5v). This Probus text championed a more permissive approach to the use of abbreviations employment by classical copyists, offering the reader an easy reference tool for their decipherment.

Anno 1813 March 10th Sent several of the papers printed in answer to Methodisticus, about in this neighbourhood. Graham says he had 20 and kept about 18. He is to send them to the clergy of all colours and Descriptions. I do not know the names of many of them. (He was a Quaker & Free Thinker, & when he died was buried in his Garden.) 10th Sent an answer to the Letter of J. Mitchel printer, Dean Street, that I would decline inserting the papers as an advertisement, such a trifle being not worth any further expence. Thanked him for his information. But wholly exonerated myself from any design to deceive the Stamp Office of any duty due, as I conceived it as independent of any such demand, after withdrawing the advertising part of it, as an essay or a copy of verses. That I had sent it to the 3 other prints and concluded that they would also decline it on the same Grounds, as I had no doubt of the correctness of his judgement & experience in such matters. Since the above Walker has in viccivil terms declined it except as an advertisement, on the same grounds – also the pompous Mr Humble by a notice in his paper. I gave Dr Gray a dozen to disperse at Durham and take 1 to Mr Sharp which he has promised to do – also Mr Eden 20 to disperse where he goes – wrote a letter in one to the children of Durham, and 1 to William at Witton – one to Mr Langridge as Episcopus Methodisticorum in a jocose stile which has after many days produced a complimentary answer far above the civil of his own capacity 24 to produce. There seems to have been a consultation to frame it I think
Then for the rest of March there are entries:
15 wrote to Mr Moore about paying a bill
24 outcry in the kitchen over a lack of coal, finally getting a wagonload from the staith at Wearmouth though poorer coal at a higher price
26 Mr Hewison had 20 firkins of early potatoes from him for setting, and Mr Waller has had 6 firkins which he will pay for or exchange for Aberdeen potatoes
