the Thoreau Log.
3 April 1840. Concord, Mass.

Edmund Quincy Sewall Jr. writes in his journal:

  Mr John had the colic so badly last night that he did not come into school in the morning.

  In the evening went to the phrenological lecture which was pretty interesting. (N.B. I made an erroneous statement about this lecturer a few days ago. I said he had not come up from Boston. He had been engaged on the supposition that Mr Haskins would not come but as Mr H. did come he had to give place).
