Small label affixed reads 'Extracts by Charles Lyell Prose & Verse - Crown Office Temple Row'. Commonplace book of notes and quotations compiled by Lyell when a practicing barrister in London in his early twenties. The book is inscribed with his address: 9 Crown Office Row, Temple, where he moved in 1826 after vacating the cramped quarters he had known as a law student in nearby Norfolk Street (no longer in existence, checked 2021). This Notebook is paginated. Insertion at the front of notes on Blackstone. Lyell then provides his own index at the front of the book, listed by author or subject. Thereafter, sometimes, Lyell can summarise the extracts he is including, in a series of headers at the start of the section. The entries read like Lyell's reading notes made when reading many different texts.
Actual entry on Juvenal references 'Hutton and Horner - alter aquis, alter flammis ad sidera missus' [translates as 'one sent by water, the other by fire to the stars'].
Extracts on MacCulloch reference Scotch education and the attitude of Highlanders, and that his description of Mrs McLarty's domestic economy is 'very humourous'.
Extracts on Shakespeare relate to women actors and characters.
