Arquitectura del Recinto Ferial de Albacete. Antología documental 1771-1974

El conjunto edificatorio del Recinto Ferial de Albacete se caracteriza por su arquitectura vernácula construida en tapia y por designarse como espacio servidor de un único uso, la fiesta local que se constituye como motor económico esencial y diferenciador de la historia de Albacete. Pero es sin duda su singularidad edificatoria la que le confiere la importancia edilicia, siendo declarado como Bien de Interés Cultural en 1983 por el Ministerio de Cultura. Estas características han facilitado que se mantenga en pie desde su construcción en 1783 pero no han conseguido el empuje suficiente para programar un plan de actuación de protección en base a su memoria histórica, viéndose sometido a intervenciones parciales, reformas y ampliaciones que han variado su forma original. Esta publicación trata de compilar en un documento único la documentación dispersa existente que aproxime a la recuperación documental de su historia para que sirva de base en una necesaria y urgente propuesta de conservación de futuro.

IV. Reminiscences of life as an undergraduate at Harvard College from 1793 to 1797, 1837

This memoir, written by White in 1837, describes his undergraduate years at Harvard from 1793 to 1797. It contains lengthy passages about a wide variety of experiences White had as a student. He wrote about his classes and professors, student life, American politics, politics in the world at large, food, his classmates, and many other topics. The memoir includes passages from a diary that White seems to have kept as a student, as well as reflections clearly written later in life. White wrote this memoir in 15 separate notebooks, each embossed with "Platner & Porter, Congress" in the upper left-hand corner. Platner & Porter was the manufacturer of the notebooks.

[Correspondence originally sewn into the front of Volume 1], 1771-1783

This folder contains three letters originally sewn to the front inside cover of Volume 1 of Sewall's bound lectures (HUG 1782 Box 3). A fourth letter is still glued to the inside front cover and listed with the volume. The three letters consist of a letter from B. Kennicott to Stephen Sewall, May 14, 1771 and two letters written in French from Antoine Court de Gébelin to Stephen Sewall, one written on March 3, 1780, and the second received on November 18, 1783. The letter from Benjamin Kennicott acknowledges Sewall's letter to him and offers instructions for paying for a subscription to Kennicott's work. A portion of the missing text from Box 1 can be found in this folder.
