Williams, of Winchester, Virginia, has written on the front pastedown "Bloomfield Academy, May 28th, 1860." Following the war, he dated the front free endpaper June 8, 1865. The signatures are dated May and June 1860. Mathematical equations are written on the final pages. Contains a list of numerous books from "Philip Williams Library". The album has a leather backstrip and corners over marbled paper boards, well-worn. Both boards are detached but present. The first page is all but detached; the last couple of pages are torn away.
