and monuments will crumble
like all earthly things away
but dear friends here is our album
with pages snowy white
where my name is never sullied
but forever pure and bright
in this book of life, --- album
may your name be--- with care
and may all who hear have written
with their name forever there

It doesn't seem to be by anyone famous or to have any notable autographs. I wouldn't go expecting to make a million here as books are the least valuable of antiques and the condition appears poor.

No worries chief. Nice to see people interested in old stuff. Have a load of scans from a relative that fought in the Boer war, it's a bit of a trial trying to work out what they were trying to communicate.

Doubtless people sifting the archives of the chans in fifty years or so will feel the same way. Sic transit and all that guff.

>>715035147
So... any contestants??

>>715029656

This is really, really cool. OP you have to preserve this. The whole point seems to be that the author was aware none of their writings would be permanent. How ironic would it be if it were immortalized?

>>715030280

It's full of Yorkshire slang. I understand it but cbf transcribing
