The Proverbs Dated 1864 - Inventory Number: HIS 264
Pocket-sized religious volume, titled The Proverbs, features a deeply embossed black cloth cover with gilt lettering. The ornate Victorian design suggests it was intended for personal devotion or moral instruction. Inside, it contains numerous handwritten notes and markings, offering a glimpse into its past use. The name “A.R. Haney” appears multiple times, possibly indicating ownership or authorship of the annotations. Such marginalia adds historical value and insight into how biblical texts were engaged with on a personal level during the mid-19th century, especially during the Civil War era.
