On offer is a super, manuscript relic of early Toronto and Upper Canada literature and prize winning poetry being an original book of poetry handwritten by Charles Corbould of Toronto, which he started in 1866 and carried on for many years. Seventy two years later, in 1938, his daughter added some historical background by giving a brief history of her father's writings and a biographic note that he had 6 children and followed a career in law. The book begins with "The War in Italy" which is quite lengthy. There are about 79 pages of various poems and poetry most are complete, some are shown in progress. All are well written. The binding is a little loose, but all pages are intact. The clasp on the book does not work.
