Four booklets, 6 by 7-1.2 inches, bound with string filled with exercises of penmanship. The largest, at 26pp., bears on page one: "Althea Bradleys Book Woodbridge" and, at the bottom of the final page: "Written at Mr. Perkins school at Woodbridge, 14 years". The other booklets are 20, 20 and 26pp, the last lacking a leaf; one of the others is stained and wormed, with loss; the Bradley book has three sealing wax spots on the first page. Overall, though, except for the wormed booklet, in very good condition. Each page bears a series of words or a phrase across the top, penned by the teacher, followed by 20 or so lines imitating it by the students. The Perkins referred to in the Bradley copy book was probably Joseph Perkins, who provided engravings for various editions of Benjamin Rand's penmanship publications, Indeed, these four copyboks are laid into the wrappers from the 1841 edition of Rand's Introduction to Penmanship. The name Isaac Bradley is written in the upper margin of the wrapper, and one of the copybooks may indeed be his. Only one book has ownership indicia, and that is the booklet of Althea Bradley. She was the daughter of Jason Bradley who was a Connecticut State Senator; she married Dwight Noyes Clark who represented the town of Bethany in the Connecticut State Legislature from 1861-89.
