POETIC COMMONPLACE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS OF THOMAS GRAY, 1716-1771
from Pembroke College, Cambridge
REEL 1
The Commonplace Book (in 3 volumes)
Gray’s Commonplace Book was started in about 1736 and he continued to add notes to it until the end of his life. His first editor, Mason, also copied some additional materials into the volumes (fair copies of poems and some notes) between 1771 and 1775. The volumes contain a variety of notes and essays under headings, many poems by Gray, copies of other poems that he liked (especially by Richard West and classical authors), book-lists and other items. The volumes are numbered consecutively from A-H and 2-1112, with some omissions. Gray adopted "The Method of Mr. Lock’s Commonplace Book" as detailed on page 2 under Adversaria. That is, each item entered is given a heading. If the item continues on the next page a "V" appears at the bottom of the page. If the item continues on a later page (as is bound to happen when additional notes are added on the same subject at a later date) the "V" is accompanied by a number giving a page reference. Where the item is continued from an earlier page a "V" appears at the top of the page together with the earlier page reference. Gray also drew up Locke’s recommended index grid at the beginning of the Commonplace Book , but he did not add much to this. However, he did add a 5 page index at the end of what is now the first volume (after page 428). This is worth referring to although it is hoped that the following listing will also provide a useful overview of the contents. The following list of major entries makes much use of the work of Margaret M Smith (Ed) Index of English Literary Manuscripts Vol III, 1700-1800 (Gay-Phillips) (Mansell, London, 1989). To help those working with the manuscripts we have also included the Author code from the Index, to which scholars should refer for further details, such as the page references of the appearance of the items in other works (e.g. in Mason, Lonsdale or Starr and Hendrickson). This code takes the form (GrTxxx) and is ranged to the right in this listing. The numbers given to the left of the Commonplace Book entries are the relevant page number references. Only the starting page reference is given where items continue for two or more pages, but items split between two or more separate pages are individually noted. CB I: Commonplace Book, First Volume
