- Description
- "A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities in Connection with the Calendar including Anecdote, Biography, & History; Curiosities of Literature and Oddities of Human Life and Character." The Book of Days is an electronic reproduction of an original, nineteenth century "reference work," describing and relating a variety of information--anecdotal, historical, social, religious--as well as life events (birth, death, etc.) of well-known or important individuals. The site's current navigation is simple, allowing the user to browse the work by date--much in the same way the original paper copy would have been used.
