Journal of Joseph Mason

The following Journal is published by the kind permission of Miss Seraphine Augusta Gardner of Providence, Rhode Island, the present owner of the original. She has also added to her kindness by carefully revising and correcting the manuscript and the compiler believes that there are no essential deviations from the original.

The Journal is written in a small blank book with covers of marbled paper. The paper of the book is of good quality, showing fine horizontal lines crossed by vertical lines an inch apart. At the foot of several pages there are sections of a large water-mark. In one place the motto "Pro Patria" can be seen; in another place a semi-circular paling inclosing the fore paws of some animal.

The portion written by Joseph Mason is on continuous pages beginning with the preface text on the second leaf, the memoranda commencing on the third leaf. The first part is evidently reminiscent and may have been written abt. 1739, ending with the enumeration of offices held by him in 1738.

Variations in the shade of the ink show that the entries following were made at different periods, and up to a time six months prior to his death are unmistakably in the hand-writing of Joseph Mason. The last two lines in his writing are at the top of a page and record the succession of George the Third. The remainder of the page is occupied by the notice of his death, probate of will etc. written by his son Marmaduke; then follows the record of the death of Marmaduke entered by his son Alexander and later on occurs the record of the death of Alexander entered by his dau. Barbara. With these two exceptions the continuation of the Journal is entirely by Marmaduke Mason whose entries are scattered here and there through the book. The recipes and all the statistics dated during his lifetime are by Joseph Mason; but Alexander Mason probably recorded the birth of his sister Betsey. The dates of birth, in greater part, are entered on the inside of the cover pages. A. H. M.]
