As he ran out of space he stuck newer cuttings over older articles. A few of the articles have come adrift and most have deteriorated with age. However, this scrapbook is notable in that it gives insight into George Burgess as a person, as he selected (as anyone would) articles to which he could relate. Articles reflecting his views and/or on topics of interest to him e.g. Religion, Science, Humour, Drink and Poetry etc. A copy of some of the original newspapers can be viewed here. George Burgess, a great lover of poetry and good literature, gained much pleasure from copying some of those articles he collected from newspapers. Click here to view a selection of six articles of his choice, poems and short stories, reproduced in his hand-writing and written on his own personalised paper. For historical accuracy poor spelling and bad grammar (and American spellings) in any article is faithfully reproduced in the transcription.
