Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag.The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years age by Deborah Logan," a woman who knew everybody in her day," James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia.It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington .D.C in the war of 1812.She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear" during the troubled days.George
Washington,she writes,mistook her for the wife of a French man.and praised her excellent English .
The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from Eng- land to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company,which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession" a bout five minutes" when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person.On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green,Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay,Green began calling every taxi company in the city,with no luck," I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green.no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of 1,000,Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history,and Luxmoore told reporters," It's wonderful news.I'm on high".

Tom Brennan在费城工作的办公楼时,发现一个黑色袋子.袋子里有一本书.
这个偶然的发现结束了费城图书馆公司持续了12天的寻找历史宝藏的行动,这本Deborah Logan记录的120页的日记,被保存了190年.“她是那时所有人都认识的一个女人”,James Green,图书馆馆长如此对《American Libraries》杂志说.
该日记的大部分是发生在费城的大事的记录.它还包括英国士兵于1812年战争中焚烧华盛顿城的描述.马背上的美国总统詹姆斯·麦迪逊被描述成在那些备受困扰的日子里是“完全被恐惧动摇的”.关于乔治·华盛顿,她写道,他把她错认成一个法国人的妻子,并称赞她的英语.
这本丢失的书的冒险开始于9月4日,Cory Luxmoore从英格兰来将其祖先的日记交付给图书馆公司,被他和妻子认为是日记最好归宿的地方.
Green告诉《American Libraries》,他拿到了日记“大约5分钟”,之后日记被Luxmoore带回去,因为他已承诺给另一个人展示日记.给Green看过日记返回旅馆后,Luxmoore震惊地意识到,他把它留在的士上了.
没有任何拖延,Green开始给市内各出租车公司打电话,但却没有一点好运气,“从那之后我就觉得很虚弱”,Luxmoore对记者说.
据Green说,还没有人知道日记是怎么出现在办公楼的.Tom Brennan获得了1000(英镑)的奖励,费城得到了它的另一件历史财富,Luxmoore对记者说,“这是个好消息,我很高兴”.
