A member of the Sager family of Canada and Vermont created this handmade volume registering the births of children to Frederick and Lydia Sager, along with other family events. While undated, the volume includes content ranging from 1814 to 1840, suggesting it was produced within that timeframe. Most entries list individuals' names and birthdates, written within pen-and-ink heart frames along with geometric patterns and other embellishments. The entry for an unnamed infant who died the same day it was born includes an illustration of a coffin, while other entries include drawings of objects like a quill, manicules, and flowers.
The volume concludes with copies of two Biblical hymns, one carefully written to look like printed type.
The volume has later covers made from an 1896 advertising board for a New York newspaper.
