 My Commonplace Book | 75 entries, 57 comments | | Listed in Undecided | | Commonplace books are a means of coping with information overload! They help us select, organize, classify, and remember key moral precepts.
"When it came time to put away childish things, the role of the copy book was assumed by its close cousin, the "commonplace book." The process of maturation required the production of more-personal collections of writings, meant to provide inspiration, direction, and moral fortitude. Reading the commonplace books of historical figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or any number of antebellum Southern ladies gives us an interior view of each person's self-image and the words that motivated him or her.
