A collection of eight "Pass Books" (school ledger reports), each hand stitched in tan or blue thick paper wrappers, with Horace Congar's name in manuscript on the front covers. A few covers are also titled "Pass Book". All eight booklets are stitched together into a single volume. 12mo. (4" x 6 �"). The front and back covers are rubbed, with a few small chips at the corners, else near fine. Each booklet contains between 10-14 weekly letterpress school ledger reports with Congar's course marks and associated notes completed in manuscript. Each report was reviewed and Signed by his father Samuel Hayes Congar. A visually appealing set of booklets with a nice artifactual feel, all presumably bound by the young student Horace, who must have been proud of his high marks in reading, spelling, arithmetic, book-keeping, and speaking. He died in 1849 at the tender age of 19. Horace was a member of a prominent Newark family. The family patriarch Samuel Conger (1753-1826) had served as a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Horace's father Samuel Hayes Congar (1796-1872) was a coach painter by profession and antiquarian. He was appointed the first librarian of The New Jersey Historical Society in 1853 and served until his death in 1872.
