the size of an ordinary ledger and is
covered with linen. There is Il pecu
liar drawing in ink on the outside, in
shape like a skull and having IL slight
resemblance thereto, although it is
evident it was not so intended be-
cause the writer was an artist with Il

and legible hand all through the
book. In the last part an entry is
made showing that the writer COM
