Sensibility – what is that? What in God’s name is An Afterword? I haven’t the faintest idea. And concerning Book design, I am fully ignorant. What is ‘A Slipcase’ supposed to mean again, and what the heck is Boriswood? The Canons of page construction – I don’t know what that is. I haven’t got a clue. How am I supposed to make sense of Traditional Chinese bookbinding, and what the hell is an Initial? Containers are a mystery to me. And what about A Post box, and what on earth is The Hollow Nickel Case? An Ammunition box – dunno. Couldn’t tell you. I’m not well-versed in Postal systems. And I don’t know what Bulk mail is or what is supposed to be special about A Catcher pouch. I don’t know what people mean by ‘Bags’. What’s the deal with The Arhuaca mochila, and what is the mystery about A Bin bag? Am I supposed to be familiar with A Carpet bag? How should I know? Cradleboard? Come again? Never heard of it. I have no idea. A Changing bag – never heard of it. I’ve never heard of Carriages. A Dogcart – what does that mean? A Ralli car? Doesn’t ring a bell. I have absolutely no idea. And what the hell is Tandem, and what is the deal with the Mail coach? 4 I don’t know the first thing about Postal system of the United Kingdom.

VOLUME 1, 1780-1790 VOLUME 2, 1785-1810 Archives American Academy of Arts and Sciences 136 Irving Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 © 2010 American Academy of Arts and Sciences Updated: 18 August 2010 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ARCHIVES Series I-C-1: General Records. Communications to the Academy – Bound, 1780-1810 ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Historical Note In the nineteenth century, several manuscript communications were glued into two scrapbook volumes labeled “Papers.” They have since been removed from the scrapbooks and individually conserved, but because the bound volumes were available to researchers, the distinction has been retained. Scope and Content The Bound Communications consist of correspondence and articles sent to the American Academy for consideration by Academy Members and possible publication in the Academy’s Memoirs or Proceedings. Most are in the form of letters or documents, submitted to the Academy by Fellows and members of the public in hopes of discussion by the Academy, possible endorsement, and eventual publication. Most concern observations of natural phenomena, especially of the heavens; some describe new concepts in mathematics; and others describe medical events and offer new solutions for improvement in prevention and treatment of disease. Subjects also include antiquities, such as the Dighton Rock, and antique systems of writing. The documents also cover finance and commerce, most with the understanding that improvements in technology will benefit all of society. Volume 2 volumes contained within 3.0 document cases, Boxes 2028.1, 2028.2, 2028.3 (1.5 linear feet) Arrangement The original order of the materials has been maintained.
