Scope and ContentExercise book used for practicing calligraphy. The right-hand pages bear the proverbs and sayings to be copied. On the left-hand pages, the owner of the exercise book has sometimes copied the phrases but has just as often practiced writing first and family names and aristocratic titles, or has simply doodled.  


The document appears to have belonged to a child from the Pullin family, possibly Emma Esther Ann Pullin (1846-1934), whose name appears twice. One page contains a list of her younger brothers and sisters and their ages in 1863. At Emma’s baptism in Paddington in November 1846, her parents identified themselves as servants. She would die unmarried in Ealing (west London) on April 27, 1934, at the age of 87.
NotesSource of title: Based on the title of the document.




Signatures and inscriptions: Among others, the document bears the names of Shakespeare and Emma Hester Anne Pullin.
